Teamspeak USA apparently keeping track of ALL TeamSpeak servers

[ehthe]

So I just saw that : https://support.teamspeakusa.com/in...w-exactly-do-you-know-how-much-to-bill-me-for

Our current and new billing system is already keeping track of ALL TeamSpeak servers being hosted worldwide.

And now I'm scared

So.. speculating time ! Is it bullshit ? If not how do you think they manage (or try) to do it ?

My first guess : Maybe the weblist does a lot more than what it says. I'm going to try and investigate it. Plus the ServerManager always connect to the weblist even if no virtual server says so.

It's not Teamspeak that's querying the 2008 port. It's the server that is sending the data to teamspeak. Blocking port 2008 doesn't necessarily mean you're preventing teamspeak from "looking" at you.

When i started a well-argumented thread about teamspeak spying on servers and collecting stats you were laughing at me, ehthe. Now, after several days, you open similar thread with basically same concern. Have fun. I told you last week they are gathering data through CLIENTS mostly as every single client in the world connects to blacklist server to check on the IP it is currently connecting to. That's where the fun begins.

Well, mine isn't pure speculation. It's backed by a source, even if it might be a bluff from teamspeak.

You are speculating about weblist without any proof. So how is that different from what i wrote before? And what part do you still don't understand here? That people running a teamspeak instance and making its IP public are wide open to teamspeak's tools that are mining and processing the data? How strange that my concerns were doomed instantly and yours are not. Anyway enough from me. Won't share any thoughts on this anymore.
