Content Caching

[/127.0.0.1:0] <-> InitialHandler has pinged Our system will periodically fetch the server icon and favicon from your upstream servers to keep the cache up to date, when we fetch this information, you may see a message like this in your server console.

The Game Tunnel edge instances will cache for a few seconds static responses such as the server icon, and MOTD of the upstreams you configure, as a way to save bandwidth and reduce the load on your infrastructure.

At the time we receive a status request from an end user, we will quickly reply with the cached version directly on our edge without even reaching your server, improving the latency of the ping requests, reducing the load on your infrastructure, and mitigating ping floods that could potentially cause downtime on your server or overload your resources.

It's important to note that we cache the information for a few seconds, and we cache the server status for each individual domain name, this will prevent issues with custom per-domain MOTDs and icons.

Since we consider this as a critical feature, it is enabled by default and you can not disable it without intervention from our support team, if you have any valid reason to disable this feature, please contact us.
