# NetGoat<\/p>\n
NetGoat is a Velocity plugin that redirects players to the best server based on their connection. It offers two methods for redirection: hostname-based and latency-based.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– **Hostname Redirection:** Redirect players to specific servers based on the hostname they use to connect.
\n– **Latency Redirection:** Automatically sends players to the server with the lowest ping for the best connection.<\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
After the first run, a `config.toml` file will be generated in the `plugins\/netgoat` directory. <\/p>\n
Here is an overview of the configuration options:<\/p>\n
– `default-server`: The server a player will be sent to if no other rule matches.
\n– `[regions]`: A list of your server regions and their corresponding server names in Velocity.
\n– `[hostnames]`: A list of hostnames that map to specific regions.
\n– `[ping-routing]`: Configure the behavior of the latency-based redirection.
\n – `timeout`: How long to wait for pings to complete (in milliseconds).
\n – `default-region`: The fallback region if no server with a good ping is found.
\n – `max-ping`: The highest acceptable ping for a server to be considered.<\/p>\n
## Usage<\/p>\n
1. Place the plugin JAR file in your Velocity proxy’s `plugins` directory.
\n2. Start your proxy to generate the `config.toml` file.
\n3. Stop the proxy and edit the `config.toml` to match your network configuration.
\n4. Start the proxy again and the plugin will be active.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
