I have three (3) issues I need help with. First, How can I see the actual IP Addresses (example: 73.123.123.11) in Vietcong Fist Alpha v1.60 for those who have been banned? Is there a console command? Second, It is very easy for a player who has been banned to change their IP Address and they are able to log back into the game, even with the same user ID. Is there a way or software available to keep them permanently banned? I would really appreciate the help from any Server Admins who have had to deal with this issue. Third, I've heard of VC Guard anti-cheat program but cannot find any information on it, or downloads for it, that would work with Fist Alpha v1.60. Any help on this and any of the above, again, would be greatly appreciated. I am a veteran player of this game (since 2003) and despise cheaters, especially with the small community of those who still love this game, and who play fair. dR. GiGGLeZ.

ban - ban by player name
banip - banned player's IP address
you can use command banlist which will show you banned players, but only names and time to ban expiration.
If you will use VCGUARD you will have also some additional logs like banlog.txt, banlist.txt ... where you will see also IP address, time and reason why player was (auto-anned.
If Brchi (creator of VCGUARD) will agree, I can send you last version I got from him.
Unfortunately I don't know about way how to ban exact client ID...
ban XX <-- XX is player ID like ban 50 means ban player with ID 50
if player XX rejoins again, IP ban him first, then ban or kick him to prevent rejoin.
if player still rejoins (dynamic IP) set a password on the server or swap him from side to side (in team based modes like CTF) every 10 seconds until player leaves the server......
Thank you so much for your quick replies. I would very much like to get the VC Guard program so please check with Brchi. My E-Mail address is: ljwhitesr(at)suddenlink.net.
My SKYPE user name is ljwhitesr. We could also use TEAMVIEWER to transfer file, if necessary, if he approves letting you send it to me.
First of all, hello and I apologize for my English is not good. I have the same problem on my server (Server Italia). Reading the post I saw that there is this software (VCGUARD). Would be very helpful to me too and a help to the whole community of honest players, being able to have this software for defend my server from hackers increasingly intrusive.
So I would ask if it were possible please send it to me too.
I apologize for the request maybe too much daring.
If it were possible my mail address is (p.ilbiondo @ virgilio.it)
Thank you in advance
I await an answer with confidence

For those who have followed this thread I have the VC Guard now installed since 01/01/2014 and it is doing a great job!!. Since installing it we have not had any of the repeat cheaters back!! I really appreciate KostiCZ for sending it to me and would also like to thank the owners who developed this tool and for making it available to us Admins!! Again, thanks!! :)
Been playing this game since demo and never been banned on a server except yours. I don't cheat, never have! I can't get into your server because I have been Banned from server. Could you or someone have the courtesy to tell me why I was banned? I go by the name of "SULLY"
Thanks for any reply
You were banned twice on BLACK PAJAMAS HOMI, but I have unbanned you now. However, you must've been very suspicious to get a ban, I don't remember what it was though. Sorry for being wrong apparently.
I also hate cheaters on my dedicated server ([J4F] Clanserver) and I read about VCGuard made by Brchi. My question is if it's possible to send me also a version of VCGuard so my server can be also cheatersfree, mail can be send to [techno_freak02[at]hotmail . com]. I have many appreciation for Brchi, so it would be nice if many servers can be cheatersfree.
