ActiveVPN

The Ultimate Network Privacy & VPN Detection Tool.

ActiveVPN inspects your system's network interfaces, analyzes running processes, checks your external IP against known hosting providers, and performs DNS leak tests — all in one hacker-style terminal UI. It tells you whether your VPN is actually working.

Key Features

• Deep scan — detects VPNs via interface names, process names, and IP reputation in one pass.
• Tor detection — specifically checks for active Tor services.
• External IP analysis — queries public IP APIs and flags datacenter/hosting/proxy IPs.
• DNS leak detection — compares your traffic IP with your DNS resolver IP.
• IPv6 leak check — reports your external IPv6 address and warns when IPv6 may leak around a tunnel.
• Overall verdict — combines every signal into a confidence score and a CLEAN / SUSPICIOUS / LIKELY VPN-PROXY / VPN DETECTED label.
• Kill switch — terminates active VPN processes, with a --kill-force fallback.
• History & export — automatically logs scans and exports them as JSON, CSV, or TXT.
• Library API — importable as a Python package with a typed ScanResult, silent mode, and watch callbacks.
• Watch mode — continuously re-scans at a configurable interval.
• Configurable — patterns, colors, and API endpoints can be overridden with a TOML config file.
