ProxyFlow-Velocity

# ProxyFlow The Velocity Network Security Stop managing security server by server. ProxyFlow is the definitive security and maintenance solution for your Velocity proxy, providing a centralized, powerful, and efficient shield for your entire network. Every connection is vetted before it reaches your valuable game servers, saving resources and stopping threats at the front door. From a robust, network-wide maintenance mode to intelligent threat detection powered by real-time APIs, ProxyFlow is the single plugin you need to command your network's security policy. **Why Choose ProxyFlow for Velocity?** Centralized Command: A single configuration file on your proxy controls the security and access for every server in your network. Simple, clean, and powerful. Peak Efficiency: By blocking malicious connections at the proxy level, your game servers are never burdened with processing unwanted traffic. This saves CPU, RAM, and bandwidth. Total Control: Gain fine-grained control over who can connect, from where, and how often. From entire countries to individual anonymous connections, you set the rules. Featherlight Performance: Engineered to be fast and asynchronous, ProxyFlow adds a formidable layer of security with minimal overhead on your proxy's performance. Feature Deep Dive **Network-Wide Maintenance Mode** Take your entire network offline for maintenance with a single command. ProxyFlow's maintenance mode is superior to single-server solutions. One Command Control: Use /maintenance on the proxy to instantly enable or disable maintenance for all servers. Custom Proxy MOTD: The server list will display a fully custom MOTD, informing players of the ongoing maintenance. Centralized Bypass: Staff with a single permission (proxyflow.maintenance.bypass) can seamlessly connect and switch between backend servers while maintenance is active. Advanced Threat Intelligence (VPN/Proxy Blocking) Protect your community from bad actors hiding behind anonymous connections. Real-Time API Integration: Leverages the powerful proxycheck.io API to detect and block connections from VPNs, public proxies, and even TOR nodes. Staff Bypass: Grant trusted staff members permission to bypass this check if needed. **Geographic Access Control** Dictate which parts of the world can connect to your network. Blacklist Mode: Block a list of specific countries from connecting. Whitelist Mode: Only allow connections from a list of specific countries. Ideal for region-specific communities or for blocking regions known for high levels of malicious activity. **First-Line Bot Defense** Stop bot attacks before they can strain your login servers. Connection Rate Limiting: Prevents single IPs from spamming connections too quickly. Username Validation: Blocks connections with invalid usernames that don't conform to Minecraft's standards. Violation System: Automatically tracks suspicious behavior from IP addresses. **Network Integrity Rules** Multi-Account Prevention: Prevents more than one player from connecting from the same IP address, discouraging unfair advantages and ban evasion. Automatic Temporary Ban: IPs that accumulate too many violations (e.g., trying to connect too fast multiple times) are automatically temp-banned for a configurable duration, stopping persistent attackers in their tracks. **Commands, Permissions and Configuration** Commands (run on the proxy): /maintenance - Toggles network-wide maintenance mode. /proxyflow reload - Reloads the ProxyFlow configuration. Permissions: proxyflow.command.maintenance - Grants access to the /maintenance command. proxyflow.command.reload - Grants access to the /proxyflow reload command. proxyflow.maintenance.bypass - Allows joining the network during maintenance. proxyflow.security.vpn.bypass - Bypasses the VPN/Proxy check.
