VPN Detection
NiDE currently has a VPN detection system that automatically restricts and kbans players when they join. While this system was designed to prevent bad actors in the community from abusing VPNs and alt accounts to troll, some legitimate players also use VPNs to play on NiDE.
The current system is set up to exempt players with over 4 days of playtime on the server. However, the player stats are still fairly new and recent.
Rules and Warnings
While we are very leni
As of this message, the VPN detection system has officially been disabled for the foreseeable future. There were several reasons behind the original decision to add this system, and several reasons that led to my decision to disable this system. The main reasons are the backend performance and the effort it takes to maintain the whitelist.
As such, I will now lock this thread until further notice. Thank you, everyone, who adhered to the rules!
Thank you for taking your time out of your day to read my application and replying to it. I understand your concerns as you don’t know me personally on a deeper level and I don’t blame you, you haven’t played with me that much. However, I believe that’s why there is a trial period before achieving admin and it’s there for me to my prove myself and show my character to the staff team but also for the community.
While I agree with what Chris said, speaking from my experience on the admin team, here’s how I see it.
I’ve seen Lackin around, and it’s clear there’s genuine interest in supporting the server, particularly during those late EU hours when things tend to get more chaotic. That kind of awareness is important, and it’s good to see someone willing to step up where help is needed.
That said, being an admin is more than just being present. It’s about consistent activity, clear communication, and leading by example. Right now, there’s still room to grow in those areas. The recent activity is a good start, and I’d like to see that continue. Improving clarity, both in chat and on the forums, would also help build trust with both players and staff.
So for now, just like Chris, I’ll be staying neutral but I’m leaning toward a +1 if you can maintain your presence and address the points mentioned.
With that said, good luck with the rest of your application.
