Clean up your community server list from fake servers

[Nikooo777]

Does your server list look like this?

It's because Valve doesn't give a fuck about communities anymore.
If you want to clean it up so that it's usable again to find servers you may follow these instructions for windows:

Steps:
open the PowerShell as administrator
paste this in:

# List of IP addresses to block
$IPList = @('89.111.131.172', '91.219.149.6', '188.127.241.129','212.57.127.30','194.87.37.193','193.107.113.65','185.84.162.112','185.251.38.220','185.251.38.220','91.219.60.42','193.233.164.16','91.193.180.118','193.233.80.224')

# Loop through each IP and block it
foreach ($IP in $IPList) {
    Write-Host "Blocking IP: $IP"

    # Block inbound traffic
    New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block IP Inbound - $IP" -Direction Inbound -RemoteAddress $IP -Action Block

    # Block outbound traffic
    New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block IP Outbound - $IP" -Direction Outbound -RemoteAddress $IP -Action Block
}

Write-Host "All IPs have been blocked."

press enter

[Sarevok]

Used again to add a new ip(185.251.38.220):

# List of IP addresses to block
$IPList = @('89.111.131.172', '91.219.149.6', '188.127.241.129','212.57.127.30','194.87.37.193','193.107.113.65','185.84.162.112','185.251.38.220')

# Loop through each IP and block it
foreach ($IP in $IPList) {
    Write-Host "Blocking IP: $IP"

    # Block inbound traffic
    New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block IP Inbound - $IP" -Direction Inbound -RemoteAddress $IP -Action Block

    # Block outbound traffic
    New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block IP Outbound - $IP" -Direction Outbound -RemoteAddress $IP -Action Block
}

Write-Host "All IPs have been blocked."

You can't block all of them... there are many community server which has different IP Adresses.

I've checked that and the only thing that changes is the port, so i update again the script with the new ip:

Before:

After:

# List of IP addresses to block
$IPList = @('89.111.131.172', '91.219.149.6', '188.127.241.129','212.57.127.30','194.87.37.193','193.107.113.65','185.84.162.112','185.251.38.220','185.251.38.220')

# Loop through each IP and block it
foreach ($IP in $IPList) {
    Write-Host "Blocking IP: $IP"

    # Block inbound traffic
    New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block IP Inbound - $IP" -Direction Inbound -RemoteAddress $IP -Action Block

    # Block outbound traffic
    New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block IP Outbound - $IP" -Direction Outbound -RemoteAddress $IP -Action Block
}

Write-Host "All IPs have been blocked."

I just noticed that i can't reply on other threads... and i can't react on other people posts. Got this: Security error occurred. Please press back, refresh the page, and try again.

Anyway those IPs are blocked but there are still 200+ IPs that needs to be blocked for every normal player.
