Checked out my console today and saw a message saying ServerseekerV2 has disconnected. I am not too sure what it is and will it try to ruin my server?

How should I prevent it?

Server scanner and you cant really

It was clearly serverseeker, so it's just going to happen? It was able to join so I'm wondering if it's an actual player that logged in

Theres plugins that can help a bit but worsens new user experience a bit

Its a bot, and it generally it doesnt finish login request so should only say disconnect

Alright, so does it genuinely happen to all self hosted servers?

Okay, so it's best to just leave it be if it doesn't do anything? I just don't want to have the trouble of some else happening.

Use whitelist

As long as your server has online mode enabled and whitelist enabled you’re fine

It's 100% benign if you are Online Mode and Whitelisted. The real ServerSeekers are run by a benign information-gathering project. The malicious ones that masquerade as it can't join Online Mode servers. Neither group can join Whitelisted servers.

You are in no danger, as long as you are Online Mode and Whitelisted.
Wouldn’t exactly consider that benign
But yeah, as stated above, nothing you can do about it but add anti-grief systems and a whitelist in case any griefers try to target you. Otherwise it’s just pinging your server to scrape data
@Southern yellowjacket ServerSeeker was purchased by the 5th column
