Purpose

  • Block players from joining if they are on a VPN or proxy.

About

  • This resource uses GetIPIntel which is a free service that calls their API with the IP address and returns the likelihood of it being a VPN or proxy. The recommended threshold to block is 0.99 and above; any lower and you may get false positives.

Permissions

blockVPN.bypass - Allows the rank/person to bypass being blocked. 
add_ace group.admin blockVPN.bypass allow

Download

  • v1.0.0 can be found here.
  • v1.0.1 can be found here.
  • v1.0.2 can be found here
  • v1.0.3 can be found here
  • v1.0.4 can be found here
  • The resource GitHub can be found here.

Notes

  • If you’re testing this on a local server it will use your loopback address even if you’re using a VPN meaning it will allow you in. This took me longer than I want to admit to figure out why it wasn’t working…
  • The service claims to have a 15 query limit per minute. They do limit ~ 15 - 25 but only for about 4 seconds.
  • If the service stops working try changing the contact email to something else. Make sure it is valid.

Why would you block for ppl on VPN or Proxy? Cant see any idea in this script?
Sorry

Most of these modders use a vpn. this is one good reason.

Great release thanks

this may explain why I see players that I banned on my server but that makes no sense sinceit ban license as well.

10

New steam accounts etc, they activate the vpn or change vpn servers so they get a new ip and then jump back on your server…

They can do all sorts of things to get around it, one thing they cant do though is bypass a vpn/proxy check. I mean yeh they can use there home ip, but then if you ban it they wont be getting back on your server unless they use a vpn/new accounts. This will help the situation out.

11

Thats true, can see if you have problem with lot of modders doing that :s
And it is also a nicely made script i must say, big credits to the creator. :+1:

Maybe not the best idea for me as a vpn user. But i yeah… I can understand. Sad you kinda have to choose what connection people can use and not. But yeah, sad times i guess :slight_smile:

– Maybe possible to make something that just checks what contry the ip is from, if you have a server only for people from your contry?

I’m actually going to be working on a version to whitelist and blacklist countries from joining.

Maybe a whitelist for specific steam ID’s. As one comment said, they use a vpn, so they can’t use this. Maybe if his steam ID is allowed, it will ignore the block for him or anyone else that is set. This way he can put a little more security on his server as well as not block himself.

14

I’ll see if I can make it happen. I’ll most likely use permissions that way it would be done from the server.cfg

15

This is stupid. A lot of fivem players actually use a VPN because their own home country doesn’t allow fivem. Also if people you ban are able to connect back just by using a VPN, then you probably shouldn’t even have a server.

16

Ur stupid, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh @IceHax lol

17

Oh and btw, license bans exist fyi and aren’t bypass able by almost everyone.

Can we take the drama out of this topic please.

I can understand how you may not like it but others are clearly interested. There is no need to claim people shouldn’t be running a server if banned people are able to join back. Everyone who starts their own server doesn’t know everything instantly. It takes people time to build up to a decent amount of understanding on how it works. Without people starting their own servers, FiveM wouldn’t be as popular as it is today. Also IIRC only ~ 3 counties block FiveM; if the server owner doesn’t want people joining with VPNs then they don’t have to. Take a look at all the FiveM trolls that stream, they get around bans within minutes (even using license banning).
