Positives:
The NoVPN plugin proves effective in its core functionalities, particularly in blocking accounts from known sources of misuse such as TheAltening and leaked accounts. Additionally, it has demonstrated success in blocking certain VPNs, contributing to a more secure server environment.
Main Issues:
While the plugin excels in blocking potentially harmful accounts and VPNs, it falls short in the accuracy of its IP flagging system. Some IPs were falsely identified as malicious, leading to potential disruptions and causing a loss of players. This issue poses a significant challenge, as false positives can adversely affect the player experience and server reputation.
It's an ok plugin, the api isn't too great but is updated often with falses, for big servers this can be a pain but it's a decent plugin overall especially for a low price. Extremely sad MySQL got dropped and there isn't alot of development workforce with often updates put into this plugin in my opinion. Would avoid for free/cheaper alternatives that achieve the same task but better.
Thanks for this honest review! I'm always working on the API and trying my best (don't forget to report issues with it). I choose to drop the MySQL support because it wasn't really useful for the type of plugin, in my opinion. Since the plugin support bungeecord, it's ok not to have a database to regroup everything (and it's lighter)
Version: 1.16.3
Trash Plugin Don't Purchase Too many false checks. Doesn't work as described on the spigot page.
I never saw any contact message from you. You are just sad because you asked for a refund and trashed me on Paypal... The only thing you do is insult... What a shame
Version: 1.16.1
Too many falses. I've got myself falsed before adding myself to the whitelist when I'm not even using a VPN. Not worth buying
Thanks for the review. Yes it block easymc but it's from a contribution database. EasyMC was added recently. So it can happen that an account it's not blocked. If this happend I invite you to renew the token and send it on the alt blocker (in description)
Version: 1.16
This is one of the best Anti VPN and Anti bot plugins! Easy to setup and configure to your server and needs.
Over the past months this plugin has actually blocked multiple 100+ account bot attacks and works flawlessly without problem literally amazing so simple and just works.
The plugin does what it promises, but there is no api-version declared in the plugin.yml file, which means that the legacy mode gets activated. I would really appreciate if the developer would change that so that i don't have to do it manually at every update...
Another error caused from the plugin is the use of "System.out" to print messages in the console when the plugin starts which should be changed to "this.getLogger().info("message")" so the error doesn't show up anymore.
Sorry, I didn't respond to you for a long time, but the problem should be fixed (it was from the API). I have a lot of things to do in general (school,...) so it's hard for me to work an update. But I will try to push an update this weekend. I'm very sorry about this situation.
Version: 1.15.8
it say Invalid IP but i dont use VPN?
why?
who can help me
Is it my problem with a fixed IP?
"Who can help me" I think it's me, but if you want help it would be great to send me a message. I'm not a mind reader
Version: 1.15.6
So far, no issues at all. Excellent plugin. The commands are clear and concise, the return messages are well formatted, it offers unlimited lookups which is a huge plus. It has Bad account detection which is a very useful feature. And has many other features I have not seen with most if not any other anti VPN plugins on any market place for Minecraft. Great plugin!
So, nice Plugin, but currently i have some problems, some messages arent set like if i only type "/nvp blacklist". I wouuld wish that you add more banmessages, so that if a user use a bad accountthis command will be used, if he have a vpn, that command will be used, etc. And that user get a warning before a ban that they should disable theyre vpn
I once asked that this plugin also supports paper, now it supports paper but at startup comes this error message

Hey, I'm sorry to ear that. I have solved the problem (the error didn't show up after the update). Maybe I made a careless mistake, I'll double-check.
Version: 1.15.4
Is a very good plugin as I said in my last review but I have a problem there are a few too few alts blocked meaning you can get up in 5 out of 10 cases you should keep the list more up to date and since I had to update my server to paper so I could have a good server preformce you could make this plugin paper capable because it does not work on paper.
I always get this error message I don't know if it's apper or not

[17:09:15 INFO]: [NoVPN] Disabling NoVPN v1.15.4
Very friendly developer. Response is very fast, and he is helpfull! But you have to block stolen VPN's, because you can just skip the antiVPN that way.
THis Plugin is good for vpn blocking but not for alt account, the altening forks on the server. mc leaks i cant test because the site for me dont work. And please add something that User dont get instatant bnanned for a vpn.
So User get firstly warned that they should disable theyre vpn and if they try to connect again with one then ban him, that would be nice
I find this plugin really good use it for a long time and it never makes problems am again and again to write alts ind the checker purely good but I would still have a request and namely can you always turn on the antibot module even if onlinemodus is on and could you add multiple ban commands is when a player bin old joined his ip 30 days geyspeert be with a plugin but when a player with vpn/proxie joiuned the spiler should be banned would be really nice otherwise really good plugin top
Good plugin and overall useful for blocking vpn/proxies. Although majority of vpns and alts get kicked, some vpns are still functional and some altening accounts still get through.
Excelent plugin! Very good support! The author answered all my question in few minutes and helped me configure my server! I don't regret to have bought this plugin!
The new VPN API is very efficient, all VPNs are blocked with insane accuracy. Since I have this plugin my server as no longer bot attack, cheaters that use VPN to bypass IP ban...
This plugin does a lot for the price!
Hey,
I'm sorry to hear that :(. I updated the plugin (v1.12) with a new api. I invite you to try again with the new version. (Note: If a player was not detected in the old version, it will not be in the new version. Because the plugin do a check one time or if the player change his ip.)
Version: 1.11.8
Bad at blocking VPN's but excellent at blocking mc leaks accounts it would be even better if it blocked easymc.io and thealtening
too
Plugin has blocked ProtonVPN (both free version and PREMIUM Proxies) , sadly I bought the plugin when a bug was present, but the authors were nice and published a fix for it in 24h! Would reccomend this over the free ones. Has a better styled config and support.
NordVPN detection its not 100% but it's better now! retry it (I tried again and it's better). And if you have any problem with detection you can send me a private message or in discord :)
Version: 1.10.8
Very good plugin - Easily worth the price.
Takes out the worst kind of trolls that use VPN and MCLeaks to bypass all punishments, and continues to troll and harrass on your server.
Also Very Very well supported, and fast reacting developer.
I recommend everyone to get this plugin. - Nuff said :)
Very good plugin the VPN detection work as expected but with a very good speed. Indeed, I have tested and only 30ms per request . The developer is very comprehensive. I will recomand this to my friends.
Very good update. The VPN dectection is awesome. I've tested with a lot of VPNs. And NoVPN always works. Great bot detection. Very Good Hack protection.
It's all good and all but for some reason it doesn't kick me when I'm using TouchVPN. I have enabled kicking for vpn and I also checked myself and it said VPN: NO say please fix this
Thanks :) Rare are the people as you who still have the patience. You understand that he can have bugs. If you have any problem to hesitate not to send me a private message.
Version: 1.7.4
CyberGhost wurde nicht geblockt! Und der Check Command meinte es ist keine VPN an...
Thank you for not posting your negative opinion here! If you have a problem with the detection of vpn come a private message. You just have to give me the Ip address of the vpn not to detect + the name of the vpn and it is to settle. No need of negative opinion like that. Read the description of the plugin before making an action.
Version: 1.7.2
Great plugin!!
but I Hope to add a list of non-inspection IPs
There will be no innocent people to be checked
Awesome plugin! Really usefull!
One tip for other users: If you have a bungeecord server where players spawn at the hub server everytime: You only need this plugin in your lobby server!
Work with spigot and bungeecord. If you want bungeecord put in bungeecord plugin file same for spigot :). And the lite version has deleted by moderator
Version: 1.5.3
The System can not find the specific path in the bungeeCord Pls Help PLSsssssssssssssssssss
Friend Everything is Perfect and especially you added the unban but the problem is this that is in the image ... I think it is the API in the bungeecord
In spigot if it works normal please solve fast ... I am already configuring my server 100%
IP: EpicGameCube.omgcraft.es
You can change your bungeecord and send me the result in MP please ?
Version: 1.4.4
Excellent Plugin
But when I log in to see in my mysql I can not unblock someone
Or how does it loose .. because I put a ban: v by mistake help me quickly please
Awesome! NoVPN plugin is the best anti vpn/proxy plugin I've used.
This plugin just came out with bungeecord support! Great!
I'll highly recommend everyone to get this plugin! It's worth it!
10/10 Keep it up! :D
