Anti-VPN and anti-proxy protection with country filtering, Discord alerts, a silent mode and a dry-run mode.

Report ProxyShield?

R

2.0

Full rewrite. One shared detection core, five native builds.

New

  • Native builds for Paper, Folia, BungeeCord, Velocity and Sponge, all behaving identically
  • Country filtering in blacklist or whitelist mode
  • Silent mode: no live alerts, while the log file and webhook keep recording
  • Dry-run mode: detect and report without disconnecting anybody
  • IP whitelist and blacklist with CIDR and range support, editable in game
  • /proxyshield with twelve subcommands and tab completion
  • English and German message files; add a language by copying one file
  • Block log, statistics, and an on-disk cache so a restart during a feed outage stays protected

Fixed since 1.1

  • The IP feeds never matched anything. The CIDR prefix was discarded and matching was a string comparison, so a /24 only ever matched its own network address. Against the live feed that was 42,510 addresses covered instead of 377,108,792.
  • Proxy detection was a substring test for "true", which an ISP or country name could satisfy on its own
  • The Discord payload was built by string concatenation and could be broken, or injected into, by a player name
  • BungeeCord ran the lookup inline on the netty thread; Velocity checked after login, so a blocked player was briefly fully connected
  • The lookup cache grew without bound and ignored the provider's rate limit
  • Roughly a dozen empty catch blocks hid dead feed URLs and unreachable providers
  • The whitelist was only read on Paper, and Velocity used a different config format entirely

Upgrading: config.yml from 1.1 is not compatible and is not migrated. Move it aside, let the plugin write a fresh one and re-apply your settings.

Note that 1.21.11 on Paper is the only combination verified on a live server so far; the other four builds are freshly released.
