Battlefield Admin Tools

Welcome to BF Admin Tools

BF Admin Tools (BFAT) is a set of tools and utilities for Battlefield 3 and 4 servers. Some features also work with Battlefield Hardline.

BFAT is designed as a hosted service requiring no setup on your end: no Procon plugins. The system talks to your server's RCON interface directly.

BFAT is not meant to replace Procon and its plugins outright, but to complement them.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions, especially about VPN detection.

Why was BFAT created?

Mostly because the VPN detection system needed a new home after Battlefield Agency shut down. Once RCON integration existed, adding more features was a natural next step.

Aren't VPNs good for privacy?

That debate is broader than this page. One thoughtful overview is this write-up. Game IPs do not reveal your exact address; at best, city-level accuracy.

What's wrong with VPNs here?

VPNs are not inherently bad — many cheaters use them to dodge links between accounts. Many server operators see a large drop in abusive behavior when VPN users are not allowed.

How accurate is VPN kicking?

False positives have been very low in practice; the system keeps learning from live traffic.

How much data do you have?

The database contains 0 IP addresses, of which 0 (0.00%) are classified as VPN or hosting. These numbers grow as the system learns.

Is this just someone else's VPN list?

Not exactly. Some external data is used as a baseline; BFAT runs its own checks. Static lists alone cannot keep up with how IPs are allocated day to day.

How much does it cost?

It's free for community use. Donations may be accepted in the future.
