VPN Warner
by nightly
VPN Warner is a client-side Fabric and Quilt utility that warns a player before joining a multiplayer server while a VPN process or service is running.
What it does
Before a player connects to a multiplayer server, the mod checks whether a VPN process or service is active and shows a warning if one is found. The warning exists because some servers may punish accounts that connect through a VPN. Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to install anything. Files target 1.20.4 and 1.21.4 for Fabric and Quilt, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
VPN warning on join
A warning appears when a VPN process or service is running and the player tries to join a multiplayer server.
Single-join check
A VPN detection applies only to the join in which it was found, so a player who toggles a VPN between joins must account for that.
Configuration file
A config menu and file let the player adjust the mod's settings.

What the author says
This mod warns you if you have a VPN process/service running before joining a multiplayer server. It only persists across one join so you don't toggle a VPN on between joins and forget about it.
