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!
1: My ingame name: SyntX (was playing on alt account: Alexandro Foxine.)
2: My SteamID: STEAM_0:1:924543762
3: Name of the player(s) involved: HeadsHoTz*+EBOY. o_O
4: SteamID of the player(s) involved: STEAM_0:0:714742923
5: What server did it happen on: ZR
6: Map: zm_camper_indian
7: Time and date: 8:40 AM - 9:00 AM (lets assume it)
8: Explanation of the situation:
I just woke up and decided to join one of your popular servers, "ZR." I wanted to play peacefully, but then a player started saying, "Mira si ese tipo tiene bunny," which translates to "Look, if this guy has a bunny" in English. It was clear to me that he was trying to accuse me of something.
One of your admins, "CrazyChris," was also there. He responded, "A mí no me ha salido nada. Está limpio por el momento," which means "Nothing came up for me. He's clean for now."
Everything was fine until that player started breaking the props/boxes where I was camping. I reported this behavior to CrazyChris, but he either lacked proof or wasn't able to act—I honestly don’t know. He decided to ignore the situation, and the player continued this behavior until the map changed.
That was frustrating, but what really crossed the line was when the same player later used the N-word and displayed racist behavior.
What really sucks is that CrazyChris took no action at all—not even a simple warning. I was genuinely expecting at least a small warning to be issued to that player.
It’s clearly stated in the rules:
"It is not allowed to destroy, damage or push props and barricades that are being actively used by teammates."
9: Proof: Look at the chat logs, look at demos.
- I do not speak Spanish, I went to discord and captured all this chat logs and translated them.
10. Additional: I'm one of the founder of NovaHunterZ Community and Server (Not advertising), this guy often plays in one of my servers. He started threatening me by saying that he'll down my server.
Count this report as an admin abuse report as well. My spray is not genital at all, it just shows a woman boobs nothing more and CrazyChris banned my spray.

hello Rex
after viewing your case with the eban, i concluded that the eban for 1 month is too much yeah so i will reduce it to 1 week since last eban you got was the previous year, which was around 10 months ago, thats long time indeed.
however the 3 days ban will stay due to avoiding ebans, just make sure next time not to avoid punishments even if you got semi unjustified punishment and instead make a punishment appeal or admin report (in case of actual admin abuse), and i am pretty sure you will get the reasonable decision to handle your case.
topic closed.
1: My ingame name: Rex
2: My SteamID: STEAM_0:1:460732090
3: Name of the admin involved: Andrew
4: What server did it happen on: ZE
5: Map: ze_hobbiten_oldschool
6: Time and date: 24/06/2025
7: Explanation of the situation: I was somehow Trolling on hobbiten_oldschool, despite the fact that i used late wind to cover for myself it ended up killing the others, but to be precise during that period, the server was pretty much dead with 25-26 players.
8: Proof: Andrew has checked the demo, he decided to eban me, someone called an admin or someone actually told him that i "trolled" and he reviewed the demo after, despite the fact that i trolled it's a little too much for a 1 month eban. I did actually troll on my alt account and that eban is totally justified. The 3-day ban can stay, it is deserved.
