VPN, countries & reputation

Block VPNs and proxies, allow only certain countries and keep known cheaters out.

All join checks run while a player connects ("Apex Anticheat: checking…"). If a check fails the player sees a clear screen explaining why.

Anti-VPN#

Settings → Preferences → Anti-VPN (on by default)

Blocks players connecting through a VPN, proxy or datacenter IP. Players on a VPN see a screen asking them to turn it off.

Allowed countries#

Settings → Preferences → Anti-VPN → Allowed countries

Pick the countries that may join. Search by name, select with the checkbox, Save.

Example: a Dutch/Belgian community selects Netherlands and Belgium; everyone else sees a "not available in your country" screen.

Reputation#

Settings → Reputation → Minimum reputation to join

Every player has a trust score (0–100%) based on their history across the Apex network and known cheat communities. Set a minimum with the slider:

• 0% — everyone may join (default).
• Higher — players with a lower score are refused.

Players you trust can skip this check via the reputation whitelist.

Require Discord#

Settings → Preferences → Require Discord — players without Discord linked to FiveM can't join and get instructions to link it. Useful because many cheaters join with throwaway accounts.
