I have already reported bug#1103 (maxplayers abuse).
But civserver.freeciv.org port 5551 is still not reachable.
Server messages:
...Sorry, no new players allowed in this game
or if you join with name "joker" (there is only 1 AI player)
...Sorry, no observation of AI players in this game

After a while i found the setting: allowconnect
You can DoS server with "set allowconnect" (without any value) - this will
disable access for everyone.
