[ANY] VPN Block
 
Description
This plugin's purpose is to kick anyone who tries to join your server with a VPN. It does it by checking from this website whether the client who is joining your server is using a VPN or not.
It then saves the ip and whether it's a proxy to a database so it doesn't need to check the same ip many times.
You can use either mysql or sqlite database with this plugin.

The plugin creates a log file to sourcemod/logs/VPNBlock_Log.txt and logs everyone who tries to join the server with a VPN.

Admin commands (require flag z)
PHP Code:
sm_vbwhitelist "<SteamID>" - Whitelists a steamid which is allowed to join even with a VPN.
sm_vbunwhitelist "<SteamID>" - Removes a steamid from whitelist. 
CVars
CVars are saved to your cfg/sourcemod/VPNBlock.cfg file.

PHP Code:
// 1 = Kick and log client when he tries to join with a VPN 0 = only log
vpnblock_kickclients "1"

// If the response contains this it means the player is using a VPN.
vpnblock_response "Y"

// The url used to check proxies.
vpnblock_url "http://proxy.mind-media.com/block/proxycheck.php?ip={IP}" 
Required extensions
Installation
  • Make sure you have Steamworks installed.
  • Upload smx and translation file to your server
  • (Optional) Add a new entry called "VPNBlock" to your databases.cfg. If this entry is not found the default entry is used.

Changelog
Code:
1.1.0 (17-Jan-2019)
    - Made the plugin use steamworks instead of system2 for http requests.
    - Added option to change the url which is used to check for vpns.
    - Added option to only log users who join with VPN instead of kicking them.

1.0.0 (16-Dec-2018)
    - Initial release.

I have never used that plugin so I'm not sure actually. At least that it uses a different database for the proxies which might be a good or a bad thing. I have used this on my server for couple of weeks now and I haven't yet found a single vpn that gets past it so it has worked well for me.

I have checked pretty much everyone's ip who this plugin has blocked and I haven't yet found any false positives. Of course if you get those you can just change that ip's proxy column to 0 from mysql or sqlite so it doesn't block them. I don't know how many false positives does this plugin detect but that can of course only be fixed by changing the database.

You need to spend time to create the list of bad IP addresses with CIDR-Blocker yourself.

With this one, your server is calling a third party every time, to ask whether or not the IP is a proxy/VPN, and if it claims it is, it will act accordingly - and automated, without your you need to get your hands on the job with generating the list of bad IP addresses.

Thought as much, thanks for the clarification. I'll make a switch shortly :)

Define false positives? The plugin simply redirects all checks through a third-party, you can double check the IPs through other third-party websites such as ipqualityscore, some services have larger databases.

Budget ISPs detecting as a proxy, shortly put. I am aware it's a third party service I just thought I'd mention that source doesn't seem to be as reliable as put.

EDIT: I definitely think that there should be two checks put in place as I'm having a fair few people a day come to me asking to be unblocked and I'm checking their IPs and they're valid ISPs.

Just change the proxy to 0 instead of 1 and he can connect to the server heres the quote of the owner of the plugin:)

That doesn't fix the problem with the false positives though. If you get a lot of those I image it would be a big pain in the ass to fix all manually also you could lose players because of that.
I don't have this problem myself because I think that 3rd party website detects all isps from my coutry as not proxy but I'll probably change the default site to something else and maybe provide a config from which you can easily change it yourself.

That sounds good, can you recommend any other URLs I can replace with in your plugin currently?

Re: [ANY] VPN Block
 
Any particular reason you decided on using System2 vs SteamWorks for the http requests? Just curious, as SteamWorks definitely is more widely used, and I'm sure I speak for others when I say the less dependencies, the better. :)

Re: [ANY] VPN Block
 
You are right, steamworks definitely is more widely used extension and I changed the http requests to use it instead and made some other changes aswell.

Code:
1.1.0 (17-Jan-2019)
    - Made the plugin use steamworks instead of system2 for http requests.
    - Added option to change the url which is used to check for vpns.
    - Added option to only log users who join with VPN instead of kicking them.

Hey, I'm sorry for bumping this older thread, but I'm the maintainer of the Black Block Proxy Block service. Maybe I can help with the problems you're experiencing with false positives? If this is a recurring issue it sounds like there may be entire ranges which are incorrectly blacklisted. It would really help if you could send me a PM or e-mail me at [email protected] and let me know the IPs which are false positives, and I'll investigate how they got into our database and make sure it doesn't happen again.

I'm really sorry if our inaccurate information has affected anyone who relies on this service!

I am pretty new to stuff like this with codes n stuff, but I am trying to get my things right but I am pretty lost at this point.

Where do I whitelist an user so he can join with his VPN service on?

Best Regards,
Anzulia.

Works fine here, so:

a) temporary issues on your end (e.g. your provider having connectivity issues)

b) permanent issues on your end (e.g. your provider blocking it)

Your server is down:(

Guys, help me please, how can I change the proxy check address on this one? That site have less false positives, when I check the same ip's on mind-media.com and proxycheck.io
What I need to write in VPNBlock URL? (see on Screenshot)
https://proxycheck.io
