24 alternatives to VPN Peek
Hey HN, I built a menu bar utility to monitor VPN status and detect leaks on macOS. The problem: macOS doesn't make it obvious when your VPN silently disconnects, and even when connected, DNS or IPv6 traffic can leak outside the tunnel without you knowing. VPN Peek shows your connection status at a glance and runs leak detection: - DNS leak detection: checks if your DNS queries go through your VPN or leak to your ISP - IPv6 leak detection: detects if your real IPv6 address is exposed - Shows current public IP and location - Notifications when VPN drops or leaks are detected - Auto-refreshes…

Hi HN, Some misbehaving networks drop WireGuard packets either by accident or on purpose. Commonly the latter is done with simple DPI rules that block the handshake initiation [1], but it could be applied to other message types as well. We thought it would be great if there was tool for folks to use as a quick litmus test to see if this happening for them, without having to configure a client to send data through a random, functional WireGuard tunnel to an untrusted remote host. So we built probe.sh. How it works: - The probe.sh web app is an Elixir Phoenix app that spawns a few gen_udp…

Hi HN - I’m the developer of PingStalker, a macOS utility I built to see what’s really happening on the LAN/WLAN. I live in the CLI, but when it came to discovery and monitoring, I found it limiting. So I built a GUI that brings my favorite tools together in one place. PingStalker started because I wanted to know if something on the network was scanning my machine. I also wanted quick access to core details—external IP, Wi-Fi data, and local topology. Then I wanted more: fast, reliable scans using ARP tables and ICMP. As a Wi-Fi engineer, I couldn’t stop there. I kept adding ways to…

Hello HN, I started building GeoSpoof after I noticed my IP says one country, but the browser still hands sites my real location. Websites were flagging me because of this discrepancy. I searched for a good geolocation spoofer, only to go down a rabbit hole that there are dozens of signals that your browser emits and no tool could cover them all on every platform. GeoSpoof overrides every location-related API to present one consistent signal for location. You can search a city, enter coordinates, or hit "Sync with VPN" to auto-detect your exit region and match it, which re-syncs when you…
