I Want To Block Those Who Make VPN And TS3 Proxy.

Go to your config.yml and search for "vpn"

It's doesn't work.

Because the vpn ip is not on the vpn ip list
(It is impossible to block 100% because every single day there are new vpn ips... at least it will block some of them...)

Okay thanks.

if you look up about geo ip service, you see they have a lot of information about each ip, for instance they can tell you if it's a tor exit node, or also if it is part of datacenter network or even used by very known vpn provider
here are some example
db-ip.com
ip2location.com (here you can download country list for free, not what you asked but here it is)
maxmind.com

I'm sure they also provide range ip to block

I've dabbled with geo IP services before, and you're right—they can be super helpful in identifying VPN endpoints, Tor nodes. But, here's the thing about blocking VPNs—it's like playing whack-a-mole. As soon as you block one, another pops up. And with LTE proxies thrown into the mix, it adds another layer of complexity. They're harder to detect since they use mobile networks, making them seem like regular users. In my experience, it's essential to balance security with accessibility. Sure, blocking VPNs might deter some unwanted traffic, but it could also inconvenience legitimate users who rely on VPNs for privacy or accessing geo-restricted content.
