Set up a server not a few days ago, getting this in the console now:

[ERRO] hub: Error status while advertising server: [Unauthorized] "Your server has been blocked from advertising on the hub. If you believe this to be in error, please contact us.", from "https://hub.spacestation14.com/"
Server info
  • IPv4: 141.94.98.211
  • IPv6: 2001:41d0:303:fcd3::
  • Domain: arson.gg
  • Info URL: ss14s://arson.gg

You’re using a “free DNS” service. We block these due to spam.

Could I be unblocked? I do pay for the DNS so it’d be a bit of a bummer if I had to get a new one

Your name server is set to afraid.org, which is one of the services I described:

I am admittedly not very familiar with how these services work. Do you have sole control over this domain and can nobody else register domains willy nilly? If so, why are you using them as their nameserver?

Admittedly, we likely could probably unblock this, but I’m still not sure what the actual use case is here.

There are three types of domains on FreeDNS:

  1. Shared: Public - If you add your domain as public, this queue will not be used at all, others will be permitted to create subdomains off your domain without involving you.
  2. Shared: Private - If you add your domain as private, this is the area you will screen your domains of which you decide to keep, or deny. While domains are in the queue they will function. By choosing this, you agree to only deny those that you deem offensive, or slanderous.
  3. Non-Shared: Invisible / Stealth - If you add your domain as stealth (premium members only), your domain will not be available for anyone else but you to use, and this queue will not be used at all - This is what I use for all of my domains

Alright, I’ve removed afraid.org from the blocklist.
