I had a similar problem with setting my CS: GO servers, I tried everything to set the setting properly, but my players kept receiving bans because some forgot to turn off their VPN services. The method I solve the issue with settings is the following> set in settings to send a warning message for players who are using private proxies(NOT VPNs) in this case, and the system will send this message to users who are using the VPN services as well. But keep in mind that players using the private residential proxy can be banned because, in most cases, the system thinks they are using VPNs.

Aren't private proxies VPNs in a sort?
All corporate IPs should be banned by default.

CIDR seems to have a built-in whitelist feature.
I personally have my own plugin which also allows you to kick player using VPNs/proxies: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=330779

There's also a whitelist system, as well as other tools to help you fight ban evading.

However, I strongly advise against banning VPNs and proxies. People should be able to hide their IP if they want to, and you shouldn't block this right unless you're in a serious ban evading situation.
