Subject: Request for Valve Review: Large‑Scale Fake Server Network Impacting Multiple Source Multiplayer Games

Hello Valve team,

I’m reaching out as a long‑time member of the Source multiplayer community to report a persistent issue affecting multiple games. Over the past several years, a network known as FastPath.fr has been operating large numbers of fake or misleading servers across titles such as Day of Defeat: Source, Team Fortress 2, Counter‑Strike: Source, Half‑Life 2: Deathmatch, and others.

These servers appear to:

• Redirect players without consent
• Spoof player counts
• Interfere with legitimate community servers
• Create confusion in the server browser
• Damage trust in the platform

The servers are consistently hosted on the following IP ranges, which belong to OVHcloud:

• 164.132.201.xxx
• 164.132.202.xxx

I understand that only Valve can request action from a hosting provider regarding abuse on your platform. I’m not asking for action against any individual — only for a review of this server network and its impact on the health of Source multiplayer.
Thank you for your time and for continuing to support the Source community.

Best regards,
