WORLDGUARD-3596 - Reported by Frozon

Host keys don't work properly when connecting with a Forge modded client. Forge adds "FML" at the end of the IP when a player connects so it can check it the server it is connecting to is a Forge server. The problem is that the host key that I'm connecting with is the same as the one specified in the configuration file but it's not letting me log in. A huge amount of the community of my server uses Forge, is there a fix to this?

I'm pretty sure this is just something that needs to be fixed on the forge end. Out of curiosity, what are you running worldguard on?

Comment by Frozon

What do you mean by what am I running it on? I'm running it on a 1.8.8 Paper Spigot server.

ooooh, so it's a bukkit server, but the client is modded...
so it seems that forge adds a marker to their packet, but bukkit servers have no way of interpreting it. either way I feel like this is out of our hands, it probably needs to be fixed by spigot though, but they will likely refer you to forge.
