does VAC work anymore?

VAC Bans stop working on gmod at the end of 2014 I swear!

No,VAC dont work in garrys mod. To fight with cheaters,devoplers of gmod server install a anticheat for their servers

vac is not disabled but it does not actually ban anyone

Instead of instant bans VAC turns to work in waves, Every few weeks it will go thru a wave and will ban all users using a specific cheat or cheating in general, I know it sucks but I guess its better to conserve the bans Im sure valve has an explanation we would never have thought of.

All using a lua scripts, and it's not prohibited

Yes it's because GMOD isn't protected like CSGO and other things, you only get banned by server admins :p

I think you have to enable VAC, either at your host or just ingame in the menu.

Lua scripts just don't get you banned. There was a DLL floating around that got a large number of accounts banned but in the case of Lua, it would be too hard to enforce. I mean, lua_openscript_cl is specifically designed to run a lua script client side, and the command is there regardless of if you are in a multiplayer game or single player game. Even then, there are hacks out now that completely bypass the likes of setting sv_cheats and running your own script. They just inject the thing in single player and off they go!

VAC has been removed for a number of years but there is a pretty basic Anti-Cheat that was implemented that caught the DLL I was talking about earlier. I wouldn't worry so much about GAC though, I would be worried about CAC given that is a lot more responsive if you don't have your stuff injected.
