Open the directory where you installed Counter Strike Source.
In my case, it would be as follows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Source\cstrike\cfg

Now Download Server_Blacklist[drive.google.com]
Place the downloaded Server_Blacklist.txt file in your cfg folder and overwrite the old file.

Now start your game and you will only see real servers from now on.

Depending on how good your Internet connection is, it may take a little longer for the server list to load.

Note: To ensure that the file remains online, I have opted for Google Drive.

- manipulating the current players on the server
- Automatic redirection to another server
- Servers that use community/clan names even though they are not the owner

Game server owners can have their IP addresses removed from this server blacklist at any time.

Simply contact me by leaving your server IP address + ports in the comments.
If it is not a fake server, this IP address will be removed from the blacklist.

An exception to this rule is if you have the same IP address as a fake/scammer server operator.
In this case, the IP will remain on the blacklist.
If this happens, you should ask your game server provider for a different IP.

If you have found any other servers that are fake/scammer and are not yet on the blacklist,
please use the comment function and post the server IP with ports.
Example: “New fake server IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxxx”

I will then check it and add it to the blacklist if necessary.
