# \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f IPFilter
\n**Seamlessly protect player privacy by automatically hiding IP addresses from your server.**
\nIPFilter is a lightweight, invisible, and highly efficient utility plugin designed for server administrators who want to stop accidental or intentional leaks of IP addresses in chat and command outputs.
\nWhether a player accidentally pastes an IP or a staff member uses a command like `\/banip` in a public channel, IPFilter catches it before it ever reaches other players.<\/p>\n

\n## \u2728 Features
\n* **Intercepts Everything:** By utilizing ProtocolLib, IPFilter operates at the packet level. It successfully filters:
\n * Regular player chat messages.
\n * System messages & command outputs (e.g., `\/banip`, `\/seen`).
\n * Disconnect and kick messages.
\n* **Completely Autonomous:** There are absolutely no in-game commands to manage. Just drop the plugin in your folder, configure it once, and it runs silently in the background.
\n* **Universal Compatibility:** Works seamlessly across almost all versions (from `1.8` up to `1.21+`).
\n* **Fully Customizable:** You can configure the exact Regular Expression (Regex) used to detect IPs, as well as the replacement string (defaults to `**.***.**.**`).
\n## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration
