The owner either removed the files or restricted access, or there's a typo in the link.

Interesting, but not surprising ...now this can be a few things
Spoofing you player-count is achievable but this mod (im sure this is where this originally pointed)

https://github.com/C0nw0nk/Garrys-Mod-Fake-Players

This script uses next bot scripts to more or less spoof your player count...

HOWEVER

There (was) sufficient evidence that Rubat (developer of garrysmod) was manually blacklisting servers ..

Code:
local BlackList = {
 Addresses = {},
 Hostnames = {},
 Descripts = {},
 Gamemodes = {}
 }
 
 steamworks.FileInfo( 580620784, function( result )
 
 if ( !result ) then return end
 
 steamworks.Download( result.fileid, false, function( name )
 
 local fs = file.Open( name, "r", "MOD" )
 local data = fs:Read( fs:Size() )
 fs:Close()
 
 BlackList = util.JSONToTable( data ) or {}
 
 BlackList.Addresses = BlackList.Addresses or {}
 BlackList.Hostnames = BlackList.Hostnames or {}
 BlackList.Descripts = BlackList.Descripts or {}
 BlackList.Gamemodes = BlackList.Gamemodes or {}
 BlackList.Maps = BlackList.Maps or {}
 BlackList.Translations = BlackList.Translations or {}
 BlackList.TranslatedHostnames = BlackList.TranslatedHostnames or {}
 
 end )
 
 end )
 steamworks.Unsubscribe( 580620784 )
 
 local function IsServerBlacklisted( address, hostname, description, gamemode, map )
 address = address:match( "[^:]*" )
 
 for k, v in ipairs( BlackList.Addresses ) do
 if address == v then
 return true
 end
 end
 
 if ( #BlackList.TranslatedHostnames > 0 && table.Count( BlackList.Translations ) > 1 ) then
 local hostname_tr = hostname
 for bad, good in pairs( BlackList.Translations ) do
 while ( hostname_tr:find( bad ) ) do
 local s, e = hostname_tr:find( bad )
 hostname_tr = hostname_tr:sub( 0, s - 1 ) .. good .. hostname_tr:sub( e + 1 )
 end
 end
 
 for k, v in ipairs( BlackList.TranslatedHostnames ) do
 if string.match( hostname_tr, v ) then
 return true
 end
 end
 end
 
 for k, v in ipairs( BlackList.Hostnames ) do
 if string.match( hostname, v ) then
 return true
 end
 end
 
 for k, v in ipairs( BlackList.Descripts ) do
 if string.match( description, v ) then
 return true
 end
 end
 
 for k, v in ipairs( BlackList.Gamemodes ) do
 if string.match( gamemode, v ) then
 return true
 end
 end
 
 for k, v in ipairs( BlackList.Maps ) do
 if string.match( map, v ) then
 return true
 end
 end
 
 return false
 end

This is apart of the mainmenu in garrysmod (around line 200 or so), It unknown how often this is updated but its seemingly a decent amount of proof that this will get your server Blacklisted .. no players will ever see your server
