I have some minecraft servers, and I have configured the whitelist, however it is unreliable cause I can't/wouldn't use minecraft.net for authentication.
Is there another way to allow connection only to authenticated users, that dosen't involve vpn.

If we go to basics of securing ports, you could do port knocking or automated IP whitelisting based on a web interface.
Or, of course, set up a plugin that requires auth on login, but search that up on google.
The first one is really suitable, and is relatively easy to do. I don't know how I couldn't think about it. Thanks a lot.
IP whitelist?
It dosent works too, clients hace dinámic ips
And why aren't you using minecraft.net?
Cause we want to use several different accounts by person, being some accounts shared between the various people. If there is some way to accomplish that using minecraft.net would be great too.
Are all your players in the same country? You could set a firewall rule to only allow IPs from your country's ranges.
Your only real option may be an IP whitelist, regardless of dynamic IPs. Though to be fair, I am not well versed in Minecraft servers and their addons/plug-ins other than the vanilla server i have running at my house.
Edit: Speeling is hard
