Simplified Firewall Alerts 🚨

As part of our latest security upgrades, we have completely revamped how you monitor blocked users and unauthorized access attempts. You can now view Simplified Firewall Alerts directly in your dashboard. To access this, navigate to your Server Settings and open the Firewall tab. This provides a clean, easy-to-read log of every time a malicious user, bot, or VPN was intercepted by your VaultCord configuration.

​
Add Blocklist

Add a blocklist on the Firewall page by clicking the Add Blocklist button.
Major Security Upgrade: Blocklisting a user no longer just prevents them from bypassing the VaultCord verification page. The blocklist now automatically applies a native ban to their Discord account within your server! This ensures that bad actors are completely expelled from your community on all fronts simultaneously.

​
Choose a blocklist type

Choose an identifier to block or ban Discord accounts by:
  • User ID (default): Blocks a specific Discord account by its unique User ID.
  • Server ID: Requires “View servers member is admin in” enabled in VaultCord security settings. Blocks all accounts in a specified server using the Discord Guild ID.
  • IP Address: Blocks all accounts from a particular internet connection—ideal for blocking entire households. Most effective with VPN block enabled to prevent users from bypassing with a different connection.
  • Browser Fingerprint: Blocks based on the unique setup of a user’s web browser. Note: Detection isn’t 100% accurate—some accounts may share similar fingerprints if using the same browser and hardware.
  • Region Code (State/Region): Blocks accounts by a state/region code (e.g., NY for New York, ENG for England). Get codes from ip-api.com.
  • Region Code (Country): Blocks by a two-letter country code (e.g., FR for France, ES for Spain). Find codes at ip-api.com.
  • ASN: Blocks by Autonomous System Number—an identifier for internet providers. Look up the ASN of an IP at What’s My IP. Only block if the ASN is linked to VPN services or web hosting (check using proxycheck.io); do not block if it’s residential or business, as this affects legitimate users.

​
Secure hCaptcha Integration 🛡️

Alongside our powerful blocklist rules, VaultCord now features a Secure hCaptcha integration for the verification process. This modern, safer verification method acts as a first line of defense before users even reach your firewall blocklist. By enabling hCaptcha, you effectively filter out automated bot networks and ensure only genuine human users can attempt to join your server, drastically reducing the load on your server’s security.

​
(Optional) Blocklist reason

You can optionally add a reason when blocking. For example, if you block a scammer and they return three weeks later on a new account, the saved reason helps you quickly identify why this blocklist exists, making it easy to distinguish from others in your VaultCord account.
Success! Our blocklist filters are active at preventing bad accounts in our Discord server.
