The following commands give for me a error:
error: Access denied.
/vanish fakequit /vanish fakejoin

error: You can't toggle that.
/vanish toggle [option]
/vanish effects [option]

I am op on the server and my permissions are: vanish.*

Edit: replace the "<" with "[]"

Enable permtest in the VNP config, do in console: vanish reload

Then join the server and type /permtest vanish.fakeannounce

Though really, granting vanish.* is a horrible idea as documented.

solved
