I like connectionguard a LOT
Would recommend it instead. I believe the service I pair it with is proxycheck iirc
Just slam your API key in there, whitelist any of your/staffโs vpn IPs if needed and restart
why AVPN tho, for offline servers and player banning?
I have some issues with other server owners and with them advertising their server in game and on discord.
When you ip ban a user they can easily join on an alt on a vpn
You wonโt know until you deal with it
Itโs extremely difficult to tell if someone is an alt if theyโre on a diff IP. Especially an issue if they were a very problematic player, or part of a team of troublemakers
Even then, they would be able to rejoin because they probably have dynamic dns and get a new ip monthly.
Dealing with dynamic IPs is a lot easier than dealing with VPNs where you can change your IP to one of hundreds literally instantly
So I fail to see your point
Dynamic IPs rotate, some areas have 2 others have 4, in the end, limited
They will run out of IPs to join until their ISP decides to re-organize all IPs, which can take months depending on the country/city
Anti-VPNs can certainly mitigate the issue, not remove it completely
You still have to do some manual moderation, as they have a couple tries with dynamic IPs or can send their players/staff to keep annoying you
If they advertise by sharing their server ip, maybe a chat moderation plugin will also help with your problem
yea I blocked their server's name already
and we block any links or ips as well
