When i update my OpenNap servers list in NapMX, i notice that instead of the IP address, the words "tampered/fake". Anyone with experience and advice on this please?

Thanks,

Can anyone please assist with this query? Thing is, the IP address of one of the largest (though numerous other too) communities on opennap servers show up as "tampered/fake", and not only that, in my case PeerGuardian is also blocking the IP (as bogon, if i remember correctly). Strangely, at times i can connect and have even DL'd a few files from this server. What i want to know is if this is for real and if so, why is the IP replaced by "tampered/fake"?

Well....that simply means that the owner of that server has put in an alternate IP adress when reporting their stats to gotnap.com. I do the same thing with my server.

Let me explain this a little more and I don't expect anyone to understand unless you run a opennap or a slavanap server. In our settings on the server for reporting, it ask us to give us an IP# to report....but instead alot of us just simply enter in our DNS address. My server DNS address is 21.rockmep2p.com:8888, and I simply put s1.rockmep2p.com as the IP#. Causing it to show an altered or fake IP#.

Get it? Good
