how to stop others people using my photon server?

wertt22

i installed photon sever in my server， i only need set ip:9090 in my game client, but It's really not safe, if any one know my server ip,they also can use my server for his game client,so how to stop others people using my server?

hi, @wertt22

in the world of managed code this is very difficult to achive. any protection you create can be seen. so everyone may connect to your server. next step is authentication. if user does not send anything in lets say 1 minute after connect. it might be disconnected by server.
if he sends auth request and this request passes your checks, then you allow this client to play

best,
ilya

for example when client on connect or onjion make logic code to check client 。 3q very much

Hi @wertt22,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

Please take a look at the Custom Authentication doc.

@JohnTube thank you， that doc is really helpful to me， i have a question， if i use my owner php site to check ，i know when ResultCode = 1 stand for Authentication successful. so if i want Authentication client successful. i just need Authentication parameters，then use php code like this
echo 1;

@wertt22 you can find how to do custom auth in php here or here.

@JohnTube connect to server is before setCustomAuthentication ?
else after setCustomAuthentication?
