  Re: MRC crashes SBBSCTRL after 50 minutes of connect time

 Ri> Wed Aug 27, 08:33:56 2025 master /a2a9c027 srvc 0000 MRC-Connector Invalid
 Ri> message from client: GET/HTTP/1.1

This error means you got a HTTP request attempt on port 5000/5001. It means
those ports are open to the outside on your server, and some port scanner
probably tried accessing them, causing the connector service to log the error.

Ports 5000/5001 shouldn't be open (nor do they need to be for MRC to work), so
I suggest fixing this on your router and/or firewall settings.

That said, I doubt this what's causing your SBBSCTRL to crash. Usually
"invalid message" just means the incoming message didn't look like an actual
MRC message, but it's otherwise harmless.

Are you absolutely certain the crashes happen when you're running mrc-client?
Have you tried leaving yourself idle at, say, the main menu for an hour?
