# Kordon Labs: Minecraft anti-VPN and anti-bot plugin

> AntiVPN and anti-bot for Minecraft servers: Kordon blocks VPNs, proxies and bot attacks on BungeeCord, Waterfall and Velocity in milliseconds. Free plan.

**A cordon between your services and unwanted connections.** Kordon blocks VPNs, proxies, bots and suspicious clients in milliseconds. Legitimate players join without delay.

## Key facts

- **Runs on**: Minecraft: Java Edition networks with BungeeCord, Waterfall (and forks) or Velocity 3.4+, Java 21+.
- **Setup**: add the server in the client area, put Kordon.jar into the proxy's plugins folder and restart it.

## We stop unwanted connections at the door

Rule-breakers never reach your server, and legitimate players don’t even notice the check.

- **Millisecond decisions**: Players join instantly, as if there were no protection.
- **Always-on protection**: Your server stays protected around the clock, even during outages.
- **Precise filtering**: Block only what actually hurts your server.
- **Connects anywhere**: One service protects both your Minecraft server and your website.

## Four threats Kordon keeps off your server

- **VPN**: They hide the real IP and country. One person joins on a dozen accounts.
- **Proxies**: Hundreds of rotating addresses for dodging bans and running bot attacks.
- **Bots**: They scan your server, harvest data and take legitimate players’ slots.
- **Suspicious clients**: Clients that pretend to be Minecraft: Java Edition are recognised on connect. Known cheaters are kept off your server.

## Protection that needs no special knowledge or complex setup

- **Live in a couple of minutes**: No configs or technical skills needed: install it and your server is protected.
- **Kordon’s own database**: Global blocking: VPNs and bots detected on any Kordon server are automatically blocked on yours too.
- **Your messages to players**: A blocked player sees a clear reason, written in your own words.
- **Allow and deny lists**: Let your people in and lock rule-breakers out in seconds, without leaving the game.
- **Your whole server at a glance**: See who joins, from where and on which accounts. Kick a rule-breaker with one click.
- **Protection levels**: First see who Kordon would keep out, then turn protection on with no risk of losing players.

- **Soft**: Doesn’t get in the way of players abroad using VPNs.
- **Balanced**: The right fit for most servers.
- **Strict**: Maximum protection against bots and attacks.

## Three steps to protection

1. **Add your server**: Sign-up takes a minute.
2. **Install the plugin**: One file, no setup.
3. **Turn protection on**: Your server is protected from VPNs, proxies and bots.

## FAQ

### What can I protect?

Minecraft servers, websites and any of your services.

### How do I block VPNs on a Minecraft server?

Add your server in the client area, put Kordon.jar into the plugins folder of your BungeeCord, Waterfall or Velocity proxy and restart it. Kordon checks every connection and keeps out VPNs, proxies and bots, while regular players join as before.

### Which server software does the plugin run on?

BungeeCord, Waterfall and proxies built on them, plus Velocity 3.4 or newer. It needs Java 21 or newer. Kordon protects Minecraft: Java Edition only; standalone Paper and Spigot servers without a proxy are not supported yet.

### Is it hard to set up?

No. Any server owner can do it in a couple of minutes.

### How does Kordon tell bots from people?

By behaviour and addresses, while legitimate players get in as usual.

### Does Kordon stop bot attacks?

Yes. When a wave of bots hits your server, Kordon switches to attack mode and shuts out the networks they come from. Bots caught on one Kordon server are blocked on all the others too.

### Which suspicious clients are detected?

Clients that only pretend to be Minecraft: Java Edition (for example, modified mobile builds) and players Kordon knows as cheaters. Players who join through Geyser and Floodgate are not affected. Kordon is not an anticheat and does not watch what a player does in the game.

### What if a player is blocked by mistake?

Add them to the allow list and they can join right away.

### Can I just watch first?

Yes. At first Kordon only flags rule-breakers and blocks no one.

### How is Kordon different from free AntiVPN plugins?

You don't need to get API keys or edit configs. Kordon has its own address database shared by every server, a login log in the client area and ready-made protection levels instead of hand-tuned rules.

### What happens when my paid period ends?

The account moves to Free and all data is kept.
