Basic Setup and Configuration

Getting Started

Place the plugin file in your server folder and restart to generate default settings. Open the configuration file to customize your protection rules.

Key settings include country blocking, account limits per connection, and login attempt rate limiting. The plugin checks against public blacklists of known VPN providers and suspicious networks automatically.

After adjusting your configuration, run /gatekeeper reload in console to apply changes without restarting. The plugin operates asynchronously in the background, so security checks won't cause server lag.

Use permanent bans to block specific players or IP addresses entirely. The plugin processes all checks in milliseconds, keeping your server responsive while protecting against ban evaders, bots, and spam.
