L4D2 Chemotherapy - Blocking Cancerous Servers
By Left 4 Milk
There are many low lives that feel the need to bypass the official server filter on Left 4 Dead 2 so it forces you into their garbage servers that no one likes to play.

Are you tired of playing lewd4dead, xpmod, and other servers that blatantly dox your ip's location? Follow these steps and you will hopefully be a little less frustrated when trying to find a good match.

Firewall Tutorial
Go to your windows firewall settings and then create rules in both the inbound and outbound sections:
1. Click New Rule, select Custom, hit Next.
2. Click This Program Path and click Browse... then locate your l4d2 exe file in the game folder. Click Next, then Next again.
3. Add remote addresses. Click These IP Addresses: and then add the IPs listed in this guide, plus whatever other cancer you find out there later (You can do this by going to your rule and selecting properties then going to scope).
4. Click Next, Block The Connection, Next, Next again.
5. Name it whatever, I recommend putting "1A" in front of the name just so you know you're the one who made it. Finish up and then you're done.

After doing these steps I always open the console while joining a server and type " status ". If it's a cancer IP, add it to your firewall rules- don't forget to add it to both.
IPs To Block
Cancer IPs I found so far including lewd4dead, xpmod, and DOXers:
46.174.48.20
18.180.172.93
46.174.50.13
46.174.51.200
2.58.201.66
93.190.139.252
172.93.102.9
175.140.7.89
109.236.90.41

IPs that I started bothering to label:
96.126.124.92 - Xpmod
74.91.112.169 - Some sort of fake 'Valve Left4Dead 2 US East' server pretending to be an official one. These servers usually have screamers and crash your game.

43.156.84.96 - "Multiple infected" - doxes your IP in console
43.133.59.151 - "44.Multiple Special Infected(hard)" - doxes your IP in console
43.156.30.210 - "44.Multiple Special Infected"
164.132.201.202 - "Core-SS EU Versus"
45.58.126.33 - "Rodiongaming"
74.91.119.75 - "[DLR] Missile Server" - whatever tf that means
172.18.0.5 - "HAVEN COOP #6 HARD SI !buy/!top/!airjump"


You gotta add these one at a time, as annoying as it is.. but it's worth it. Your L4D2 will still ATTEMPT to connect to these when it finds them but it won't finish the connection. Simply type " status " in the console, and if there's no result, type " disconnect " and keep searching. Repeat this with your up arrow and enter keys. Once you get in the process of this, it becomes muscle memory. Feel free to list any more cancerous IPs in the comments, and preferably label what they link to so others know!
A Faster Way To Block The Cancerous Servers
gorbi created a script to make this process faster and more convenient:

[This tool may have broken, try it if you want to though!]

I like that it goes 1. then 3. in the firewall tutorial

I fixed the tool, should be working now. Let me know if u encounter other issues.

Lewd 4 Dead servers are sometimes fun to play in but all these Chinese kids hiding their ♥♥♥♥ server's address with proxies is just a scum move. Great list.

Excellent list! But Gorbi's script is bugged in the "# Fallback IP list" section on Github.
