TCPShield

A server-side mod that blocks direct connections to Minecraft servers behind TCPShield.

It downloads TCPShield's IP ranges at startup and closes connections from addresses outside the allow-list before the Minecraft handshake.

Configuration

While made to work with TCPShield, you can use this as a general ip allow-list

source.1=https://tcpshield.com/v4/
source.2=https://tcpshield.com/v4-cf/

allow-insecure-http=false
cache-max-age-hours=168
connect-timeout-ms=5000
request-timeout-ms=10000
minimum-ipv4-prefix=8
minimum-ipv6-prefix=16

Add trusted addresses or CIDRs with allow.* entries:

allow.1=127.0.0.1/32
allow.2=10.20.0.0/16
allow.3=2001:db8:1234::/48

Custom source.* URLs may also be used. Each source must return plain text with one numeric IP or CIDR per line. Remove the default sources if you want a manual-only allow-list.

This mod was made primarily for personal use. It is not a replacement for an actual firewall. Netty channels are as early as a mod can realistically block connections, but you know.. you should probably use an actual firewall when possible.
