FAQ
VPN blocks
How to connect to Minecraft servers that block VPNs or proxies. Understand VPN blocks, and which MinecraftAFK tier guarantees a connection.
Some servers block VPN and proxy traffic. The web client routes connections through a proxy by default, so those servers can flag and reject your accounts unless the proxy is high quality enough to slip through.
Full vs. half block
- Full block explicitly tells you something like "You can't join the server using a VPN".
- Half block silently disconnects you without mentioning VPNs. It's the same proxy detection, just quieter.
Tier breakdown
- Tier 1 & 2: proxies are lower quality, so they're often unreliable on VPN-blocked servers.
- Tier 3: guaranteed connection to any server. If your proxy fails on a known-blocked server, we replace it for you.
Servers known to require Tier 3
Here's our list of servers known to generally require a VPN bypassing proxy:
- RAPY.GG
- DaniSMP
- GommeHD
- ChickenNW
- OneBlockMC
- Jartex
- Pika Network
Any server with a country-specific TLD (.pl, .tr, and so on) usually needs a proxy from that country.
Server blacklist
Superawesome (superawesome.dk) can't be connected to on any tier. If you bought a plan only for that server and don't use it elsewhere, contact support for a refund.
