Overview
BungeeGuard is a Minecraft plugin that enhances BungeeCord server security by adding secret authentication tokens to the login handshake. This prevents malicious users from bypassing the proxy and connecting with unauthorized UUIDs/usernames. It simplifies security without requiring complicated firewall rules and makes Server Moderation much easier to manage.
