Updates – VeloCity-Security

With this update, VeloCity-Security has been significantly expanded and optimized. In addition to the existing modules (IP Limiter, Rate Limiter, and Reconnect Protection), several new security features have been added to take your server protection to the next level:

️ New Features

• DDoS Manager
  Automatically detects suspicious connection floods such as too many handshakes or simultaneous login attempts within a short time.
  • Temporary bans (IP blacklisting) prevent attackers from making further attempts.
    
  • Banned players cannot even ping the server – it appears as if the server is “offline” for them.
    
  • All bans are stored in separate files, giving you full control and transparency.
• Ping Limiter
  The new Ping Limiter automatically disconnects players with extremely high latency (e.g., over 200 ms, configurable).
  • Prevents lagging players from negatively affecting gameplay.
    
  • Fully customizable limit and kick messages via the configuration file.
    
  • Ideal for maintaining a stable and fair player experience.

⚙️ Improvements

• Enhanced configuration management: Every module now has its own YAML config file for easy customization.
  
• Improved kick messages with placeholders – e.g., dynamically showing the maximum allowed ping.
  
• Performance optimizations for handling large numbers of simultaneous connections.
