Getting Started:

To use this tool, clone the repository, replace the placeholder API key with your own from vpnapi.io , and run the script. Make sure you have Python and the Requests library installed on your system

Key Features:

  • Automatic IP Detection : It uses http://checkip.dyndns.com/ to retrieve the user's current IP address
  • VPN Detection : It uses the vpnapi.io API to verify whether the IP address is obtained from a VPN or not, and provides a high accuracy rate of 95% to 98%.
  • Security Focused : Helps identify potential security risks associated with VPN use in network traffic

How It Works:

  1. Get IP Address : The script first retrieves the user's current IP address
  2. Check VPN Status : It then requests the vpnapi.io API with the IP address to check if it is associated with a VPN service.
  3. Display Results : The output shows whether the IP address is using a VPN or not, increasing network security awareness and control

Use Cases:

  • Security Monitoring : Ideal for organizations looking to monitor and block VPN-based access to sensitive systems
  • Network Analysis : Useful for network administrators and cyber security professionals in analyzing traffic sources
