Your server decides.Not the mod menu.

Yes. Every protection runs on your FXServer, but it only starts with a valid license key in server.cfg. Without one, or with an invalid, revoked or expired license, SafeGuard switches protection off and shuts the server down 10 seconds later, with the reason in the console. The license also gives you the dashboard, history across servers and shared rules.

Your server keeps running and keeps protecting. Detections, bans and punishments run on the server itself; what happens meanwhile is queued and sent to the dashboard when the connection is back. An outage on our side never shuts your server down.

Your first monthly payment covers a month plus 7 extra days, and you can cancel at any time. Turn on learning mode on your server's page: SafeGuard reports everything but punishes nobody, so you see what it would do before trusting it with bans.

SafeGuard samples each player a couple of times per second and checks events as they arrive, instead of running heavy work every frame. The time it spends per server tick is shown by the sg status command, so you can check it on your own server with your own player count.

SafeGuard is built to avoid that. A single detection never bans anyone: signals are weighted by confidence and add up to a risk score that decays over time. Spawns, respawns and scripted teleports get grace windows, staff are exempt, and a dry-run command lets you test rules on a real player. When a ban happens, it comes with the evidence behind it and a public page where the player can appeal.

ESX, QBCore, Qbox, vRP, vRPex and standalone servers. SafeGuard detects the framework on its own. Adapters read jobs, money and permissions so staff are recognised and economy checks match your server.

Anything running on the player's PC can be tampered with, so SafeGuard treats the game client as untrusted. Its client checks are extra signals. Decisions come from what the server can verify: positions, entities, damage, events and money.

Yes. OneSync gives the server authority over entities, which the entity, explosion and damage checks rely on. Any current FXServer build supports it.

Detections, risk history, bans and the evidence behind them. You decide whether IP addresses are stored, hashed or dropped, hardware tokens are only ever stored hashed, and you choose how long data is kept. The resource scanner only uploads its findings, never your code.

Your choice. By default SafeGuard only tells you when a new release is available. Turn on automatic updates and it installs signed releases by itself, waiting until no players are online. Either way every file is checked against the release signature before anything changes, your config.lua and data are kept, and if the new version fails to start the previous one is restored.
