[FEATURE] disable connection logging

[ButterMoment]

Hi! So I'm using this to play with friends (or atleast, I will) and every few minutes there is a huge chunk of log spam.
I've attached a photo:

I've tried to censor anything that might be dangerous to share, let me know if I missed something.
This is without ANY activity. The server is not being joined, not sharing details like MOTD, no client is interacting with it. This just happens every few minutes and will inflate my logs over time.
I do have a mod that clears old logs (not opened or written to in 14+ days) but that does nothing to shrink the current session's log and I have no plans for automatic restarts.
Keep in mind my "server" (an old computer relying on an old USB dongle to get a WiFi connection) has a shaky connection, which may be causing this. Potentially packet loss??
Buying a new dongle is an option but not preferred.

Version info
Mod: 1.3.2
Loader: Quilt 0.27.0 (Quilt has Fabric compatibility)
Game: Minecraft 1.20.1

Nevermind, I just realised I had a tab open that was routinely getting the MOTD 😅

@ButterMoment its not to uncommon to see random connection attempts to mc servers (that is what those logs basically mean).
There are scanners that just scan for mc servers.

and the playit network itself also scans the tunnels for illegal use (e.g check if you are hosting a malware command and control server) maybe every few minutes or so.

So id say that that is probably "intended behavior".
The mod just logs every connection attempt (and there currently is no a way to disable/configure the logging)

also as side info, its recommended to use the playit program, because the plugin (or mod that is basically a translation of the plugin) are kinda outdated (and might lead to worse performance)

Edit: you should probably also setup a whitelist if you just play with a few friends, because the IPs playit provides are known and they are also reused.

Ill see if i can add a config options to disable the logs.

Oh, that makes sense! And yeah, I'll set up a whitelist later on, currently the server is just sitting here but once I start doing stuff with it I'll definitely whitelist it.
