Marketing strings (e.g. Shockbyte) may appear in the same metadata region.

Your own server list

Choose whether to replace only api.arabrust.net or also Facepunch (Discord, banned, companion) via metadata patches.
Implement /sapi/public/serverlist (and your embedded prefix) with compatible JSON.
If banned stays on Facepunch, banned filtering follows Facepunch; patch the banned URL to own it.
Discord keeps calling Facepunch until those strings are patched.

How to change links

Backup metadata → search api.arabrust.net and api.facepunch.com → hex or IL2CPP-aware edit → verify with packet capture.
