If at all it's b_client_vpncheck_bypass since it's a boolean.

Also there are plenty of bots out there that already have vpn checking

• vpn checker by gzpro
• sprummlbot
• ispvalidator plugin for pytson and ts3audiobot

Just to name a few

vpnblocker.net seems to be very inaccurate.
does it only check VPN providers? Because servers of mine are still showing as "valid" IPs.

[WolverinDEV]

If cause it just could check VPN providers.
It's nearly impossible to detect all vpn's

[Bluscream]

Yeah the only real way would be a well maintained list of IP ranges owned by legit home ISP's and AFAIK that's not a thing yet

[schoerg]

What for anyway? if people are circumventing bans, increase the security level.

[Bluscream]

@schoerg thats no longer effective, there are tools that allow malicious users to increase their security level up to 800% faster than legit users.

I think its not necessary to implement someones vpn api (which is may even wrong)
I think the max clone limits for ip and hwid do a really great job :)

As an alternative you could use this IP range list of datacenters: https://github.com/client9/ipcat/blob/master/datacenters.csv.

It is licensed under GPLv3 and would make the integration loosely coupled in comparison to an API. It may be not as good as a professional VPN detection API nor does it have complete coverage but I think it is good enough for most cases.

Implemented within the next version :)
