Llama Punter started as a UTAN replacement when they tried to privatize it and it failed. Llama Punter is a project of PWC-Gaming. While it started as just replacing the features that UTAN (Unreal Trusted Admin Network) had, it added on more features.

FEATURES:
- Ban Management System that transfers to all servers you operate. Ban someone on one, it will replicate to all others signed in with your name.
- Online easy ban management from a web interface.
- Choose to block known pirated or cheating keys (optional feature).
- Give player more detailed ban messages on where they should go to learn about the ban.
- Live player join widget and JSON API for programmers.
- You can subscribe to other admin's ban lists if you trust them.
- Analytics engine keeps track of locations and names that a player uses around the UT2004 world. Admins can search this data (with hidden IPs)
- NEW: Hybrid redirect server lets you utilize our gigantic public redirect, and if you have a file that fights with the version we have hosted, upload your own copy in your web panel, and we'll serve that one instead for you.
- NEW: Verified Keys. Because there is no validation for UT2004 keys other than a simple proof test, you can prove that you are a trusted user by getting your key verified. We are rolling out eventually a mutator update letting servers choose to require verified players. Verifying can be done in under 2 minutes at our website: https://punter.vengefulllama.com

WHY IS THIS FREE?:
- Llama Punter was the project that I learned PHP with, and has went on to success developing other programs for enterprise. We do not need any money, and we run Llama Punter at a loss. Nobody pays us for any information and we do not have any deals with any brokers or communities. Just trying to adapt to help give Administrators extra controls they might need, or information they might need.
