Setting up BungeeCord IP Forwarding and Firewall Rules // NodeFlux Docs

Configure BungeeCord proxy routing, IP forwarding, and secure backend servers against direct player bypassing. ## Steps 1. Deploy a Proxy service plan and select BungeeCord from the software selector. 2. Open config.yml in the BungeeCord root folder and set ip_forward: true. 3. Add backend servers under servers: block with name, address, port, and restricted flag. 4. In each backend Minecraft server, open spigot.yml and set bungeecord: true. 5. In server.properties of backend servers, set online-mode=false (BungeeCord handles authentication). 6. Restart proxy and backend servers, then test joining via BungeeCord. ## Notes - Setting bungeecord: true on backend servers causes them to accept player UUIDs forwarded from BungeeCord. - Always restrict backend server access so players cannot bypass proxy authentication rules. ## Warning Leaving backend servers open in online-mode=false without proxy forwarding enabled allows players to join with any username.
