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.
