VPN Peek▲88Hey 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…

IPDetective collects data from about 60+ different sources such as official cloud provider endpoints and public VPN/Proxy/Tor/Bot net lists. Then aggregates this data into a fast and easy to use API that can be integrated into applications or scripts easily. IPDetective started as a hobby project for my other hobby projects :) and I decided to wrap a simple website around and offer it as a service. Let me know what your thoughts, if you find value in this service or if you have any feature requests.

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.

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…
