Overview

What it is

VPN Peek monitors your VPN status from the macOS menu bar and detects DNS & IPv6 leaks. Get instant notifications when your VPN drops or your traffic leaks. Works with any VPN provider. $3.99, pay once.

Intent

I need it when

Get immediate alerts when my VPN disconnects or a network leak is detected

VPN Peek sends notifications when VPN disconnects or leaks appear, with customizable refresh intervals (30 seconds to 10 minutes) and six menu bar icon styles for visibility

Monitor my public IP address and network status from the Mac menu bar without opening a full application

App runs from the menu bar showing VPN connection status, public IP address with one-click copy, and leak status; auto-refreshes on network changes and can launch at login

Use a privacy-focused tool that does not collect or store my personal data

VPN Peek requires no account creation, performs no tracking or analytics, and fetches public IP from third-party geolocation APIs that display locally but are never stored or transmitted

Verify that my VPN connection is secure and not leaking DNS or IPv6 traffic

VPN Peek monitors network interfaces and detects active VPN tunnels (WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP, PPTP), then runs DNS and IPv6 leak tests to flag leaks the moment they occur with menu bar notifications and status changes

Identify which DNS servers my traffic is using and whether they belong to trusted providers

Pro upgrade provides full DNS server list with provider names (Cloudflare, Google, etc.), IP geolocation, and ISP details; users can also add a trusted DNS whitelist to reduce false positives

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires VPN client functionality—VPN Peek only monitors and detects leaks, it does not create or manage VPN connections
  • User needs cross-platform support beyond macOS—app requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later and is Mac-only
  • User wants subscription-based pricing with ongoing updates—Pro upgrade is one-time purchase with no recurring fees
  • User needs real-time leak prevention with automatic remediation—app only flags and notifies of leaks, does not automatically block them
  • User operates on older macOS versions—minimum requirement is macOS 14, excluding users on Ventura or earlier
