What is a VPN? A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. Applications running across the VPN may therefore benefit from the functionality, security, and management of the private network. (Thanks to Wikipedia) What does this mean for server owners?
When you IP-ban a player, they can simply turn on a VPN and join the server again. Small image that explais a VPN (Thanks to Wikipedia, again

- Commands:
- /avpn check <player> - Check if a player is using a VPN. (antivpn.mod)

- Start your server. A config file will be generated.

- Save the config and restart the server.
- Make sure you have the latest Player Analytics (Plan) version installed. (3.1.0 and up)
- Done. Everything will connect by itself and will show how many times a player (tried to) join(ed) with a VPN-connection in the plugins section on the web page. [Using /plan inspect <player>]
Most recent config:

- Anti-Down is NOT recommended on big servers.
- You can only check 15 players/minute, 500/day. This is not my limit, the database limits it. When you hit the limit, it will log a message in the console. If you have a bigger server, you can always message the creator of getipintel.net and purchase more queries. After your purchase, you will be supplied with a different subdomain. Change subdomain "check" to the subdomain you got from the developer of getipintel.net.
