Title: Some IPs in "Peers" list has no "User Agent" and no "Ping Time"
Post by: thejaytiesto on March 18, 2016, 03:53:00 PM
I have 1 or 2 IPs that have no "User Agent" and no "Ping Time" information, they show "N/A" (I mean in Core node information)
What are those? They never deliver any information or ping, and they connect back when I disconnect from them. Should I just ban them? I would like to know what is this tho.

You can always set your server/computer to not answer PING reqs and to fake or send empty user-agent headers. I think this network-nodes did this.
