Running a server (Risks?)

[ZyanKLee]

ok, let's compare our dicks



But the server with a 100MBit ethernet-card is always the better one. Couldn't test it with speedtest.net (no flash-enabled browser on my server) but just trust me with that

I run 5 servers - each for 12 players concurrently and no one has ever complained about it, being laggy

But now back to shaggy question:

the largest security risk for your LAN is to connect it to the internet ...
opening a port from the outside is only dangerous, if the server's code contains bugs and those are allowing others to compromise your system.

so be assured - if you would like to set up a server at our home - the risk is not much bigger than without a nexuiz server. do you use Microsoft programs? THAT would be a huge risk

I don't even know where he is telling?

yes, if you make a server use a seperate linux box, not your favorite computer that you use all the time

There's the risk of your ISP cutting you off, if it's a bullying one like Comcast that is

comcast has a 200gb cap. Doubt that would happen. I need a bigger pipe. and a better server.

Cool I always wanted to have some like that
