TCPShield v2.5

Changes

• Major refactor of the plugin (kudos to xPlumpOrange)
• Fixes pre-login issues with Velocity
• Deprecating CIDR based validation (see below)

Notes

• Users running v2.4 are recommended to upgrade as we are deprecating CIDR based validation. This has unfortunately caused issues for customers where web requests to our /v4/ endpoint may fail resulting no valid entries being created in the corresponding folder.

TCPShield v2.4

Changes

• replaces the way we authenticate incoming connections
• adds the possibility to whitelist custom IPs by creating a file under TCPShield/ip-whitelist/ and adding one CIDR entry / IP per line

Fixes

• fixes for some BungeeCord forks
