A little tool to display VPN country exit flag and "network speed".
Linux 🐧 only for now.
Run the vpnflag binary.
You can also use script/install-service to create and start vpnflag via systemd as a user. This requires the vpnflag binary to be copied to /usr/local/bin first.
Icon legend
💀 Network unreachable.
🇪🇸 The country flag indicates the exit point, i.e. your "public" IP address.
🔴 Network speed test issues.
Binaries are available in https://github.com/rubiojr/vpnflag/releases.
VPNFlag relies on https://github.com/getlantern/systray so some dependencies must be satisfied first. See their repository for instructions.
Run go build after satisfying deps.
Measured network speed is based on the time it takes to make an HTTP GET request to https://api.github.com/zen. While not the best or most comprehensive way to measure "network speed", it's a good enough indication of the network performance when making simple HTTP requests, i.e. browsing the web.
This tool includes IP2Location LITE data available from https://lite.ip2location.com.
