VPNOnly

by noah32

VPNOnly blocks connections to a server when the player is not using a VPN, so a joining player must be on one before the connection goes through.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.17 – 26.2

What it does

When a player attempts to join a server, VPNOnly starts a check for an active VPN. If the check does not find one, the connection is blocked and the server is not joined. If the check succeeds, the connection goes through as normal. The mod is intended for players and communities who want every session to be made over a VPN.

VPNOnly is client-side only, so only the client that connects needs it; the server can run without it. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with a public source code repository and issue tracker. Builds are published for Fabric across 33 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.1.0+mc26.2 for 26.2, dated 2026-09-07.

Key features

  1. Join check

    Each attempt to join a server runs a VPN check before the connection is allowed to proceed.

  2. Blocked connection

    When no VPN is detected, the mod stops the connection, so the player does not enter the server.

  3. Successful connection

    When a VPN is detected, the connection is allowed and the join continues as it would without the mod.

Use cases

Keeping sessions behind a VPN

A player who wants every server session routed through a VPN can keep the mod installed, so an attempt without the VPN fails at the join step.

Who it’s for: Players who connect to servers only over a VPN, and communities that expect members to join through one.
