## In short

- antivpn.io is cheaper for plain VPN checks and also runs on a standalone Spigot or Paper server.
- Kordon adds attack mode against bot waves, country, nickname and client version rules, and an observe mode.
- antivpn.io counts requests per month per plan; Kordon counts checks per day for each server.
- Kordon checks every new address online on every plan, the free one included.
- Kordon runs only on proxies: BungeeCord, Waterfall and Velocity.

## Free tiers and prices

|  | **Kordon** | antivpn.io |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free | 1,000 checks a day per server, one proxy | 5,000 requests a month, one server |
| Cheapest paid plan | Basic, $4.99/month per server, 5,000 checks a day | Basic, $3.99/month, 250,000 requests a month, up to 3 servers (Spigot and BungeeCord; Velocity from Pro) |
| Bigger plans | Pro, Premium, Enterprise per server, Enterprise without a daily limit | Pro $6.99/month, up to 10 servers; Business $29/month, 2,000,000 requests |

The free tiers are measured differently. 1,000 checks a day is roughly 30,000 a month for each server. If you only need a basic VPN check at the lowest price, antivpn.io's paid plans are cheaper.

## What else is included

|  | **Kordon** | antivpn.io |
| --- | --- | --- |

## Who each one suits

antivpn.io is a good fit for a single Spigot or Paper server without a proxy, or if all you need is a cheap VPN check with analytics.

[Kordon AntiVPN](https://kordonlabs.com/) fits networks on BungeeCord or Velocity that also face bot waves and ban evasion and want country, nickname and version rules in the same panel.

## Trying Kordon

Add your server, put the plugin on the proxy and leave it in observe mode for a day or two to see who it would block for VPN, proxy or country. Your blacklist, nickname and version rules apply in this mode too. See [how to block VPNs on a Minecraft server](https://kordonlabs.com/guides/block-vpn-minecraft-server) and our list of the [best Minecraft AntiVPN plugins](https://kordonlabs.com/guides/best-minecraft-antivpn-plugins).

## Try it on your server

Start in observe mode: Kordon shows who it would keep out, and you turn protection on when you are ready. [Create an account](https://panel.kordonlabs.com/register)
