⚡ Update for VeloCity-Security KickManager

✅ New Feature

• Added /velocitysecurity kick <player> command to safely kick players from the proxy.
  
  
• Kick command is now fully permission-based (permission-kick) and configurable in the plugin’s YAML file.
  
  
• Kick messages are fully editable in VelocityNotificationCommand.yml:
  
  • kick-message → message shown to the kicked player
    
    
  • kick-success-message → message sent to the executor
    
    
  • kick-fail-message → message if the player is not found
    
• All messages and permissions can now be changed without modifying the code.
  

⚠️ Important Notice:
After updating, please regenerate or check your VelocityNotificationCommand.yml to ensure the new kick-related parameters are present.

⚡ Update for VeloCity-Security ProxyPingCheckManager

✅ Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed NullPointerException when analyzing ping intervals in detectProxyBotsPattern → now fully thread-safe using ConcurrentLinkedDeque.
• Configurable ultra-fast ping detection to avoid blocking legitimate clients during normal server list refreshes.
• All relevant parameters are now editable in ProxyPingCheckManager.yml:
  
  • enabled → enable/disable the ping check
  • max-pings-per-interval → maximum allowed pings per interval
  • interval-ms → interval length for counting pings
  • block-time-ms → how long a suspicious IP is blocked
  • detect-proxy-bots → enable pattern-based detection
  • ultra-fast-threshold-ms → time in ms to detect ultra-fast pings
  • ultra-fast-count-threshold → number of consecutive ultra-fast pings before blocking
  • pattern-tolerance-ms → allowed deviation in ping pattern detection
    

⚠️ Important Notice:
After updating, please delete or regenerate the file:
plugins/Velocity-Security/ProxyPingCheckManager.yml
so that all new configurable parameters are created correctly and normal server list refreshes no longer cause false blocks.

⚡ Update for VeloCity-Security NotificationCommand

✅ Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed NullPointerException when using /velocitysecurity iptables if entries in the config (ip-block-success-message, ip-unblock-message, etc.) were missing.
• All messages in VelocityNotificationCommand.yml now have safe default values → no more crashes if entries are missing.
• Added whitelist support with customizable message.
• Improved config loader: every text is editable, defaults are applied automatically if missing.
  

⚡ Correct command to block an IP:

/velocitysecurity iptables <IP-Address> <Duration>

Duration formats:

• m → minutes
• h → hours
• d → days
  

Examples:

• /velocitysecurity iptables xx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1m → blocks the IP for 1 minute
• /velocitysecurity iptables xx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2h → blocks the IP for 2 hours
• /velocitysecurity iptables xx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1d → blocks the IP for 1 day
  

⚠️ Important Notice:
After updating, please delete or regenerate the file
plugins/Velocity-Security/VelocityNotificationCommand.yml
so that all new default messages and the whitelist are created correctly.

⚡ Update for VeloCity-Security ProxyPingCheckManager

⚡ Fixed Critical Bug: Resolved NullPointerException when blocking pings (setPing(null) → replaced with a valid dummy ServerPing).

⚠️ Important Notice:
After updating, please delete or regenerate the file plugins/Velocity-Security/ProxyPingCheckManager.yml so the new configuration options are properly created.

⚡Update for VeloCity-Security DDoSManager

• ⚡Iptables Integration Added: IPs can now be automatically blocked via Iptables.
  
  
• ⚡Improved Firewall Check: Now reliably checks if Iptables and UFW are installed.
  
  
• ⏱ Automatic Unblocking: IPs are automatically unblocked after the ban duration expires.
  
  
• ⚠️ Important Notice: After updating, make sure to delete the folder plugins/Velocity-Security/DDoSManager and restart the server for all changes to take effect.

⚡ VeloCity-Security – ProxyPingCheckManager Update ⚡
ProxyPingCheckManager (Better Ping Limiter & Bot Detection) ✅ – New Features

• ⚡ Preemptive Monitoring: All incoming ping requests are analyzed before normal players are affected.
• ⚡ Ping Flood Protection: Detects excessive ping requests and blocks flooding attempts.
• ⚡ Ultra-Fast Ping Detection: Flags connections with ≤ 5ms intervals to catch bot-like behavior.
• ⚡ Proxy-Bot Pattern Detection: Identifies repeated or suspicious ping patterns from proxy networks.

⚡ VeloCity-Security Update – UUIDCheckerManager ⚡

We’re excited to announce a new feature in VeloCity-Security: the UUIDCheckerManager! This update adds an extra layer of security by verifying the authenticity of player UUIDs against Mojang’s official API.

What’s new

• Asynchronous UUID verification – Checks player UUIDs during login without affecting server performance.
• Fake/invalid UUID detection – Blocks players attempting to join with manipulated or unauthorized UUIDs.
• Configurable – Fully adjustable settings in UUIDCheckerManager.yml to suit your server’s needs.
• Efficient – Uses caching and a thread pool to minimize resource usage.
• Enhanced security – Works alongside existing modules to prevent bot attacks, multi-accounts, and login exploits.
  

Why it matters
Many bots and malicious users try to bypass restrictions by faking UUIDs. The UUIDCheckerManager ensures that every player joining your server has a valid, verified account, making your server safer and more reliable.

⚡ VeloCity-Security Update – Configurable Messages & Permissions ⚡

NEW / CHANGED:

1. Permissions added – Commands can now be controlled via permissions.
   
   
2. All configuration files updated – Default values adjusted and structure improved.

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.
