VPN Connection Indicator

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an extension of a private network across a public one which allows users to receive and send data across public networks as if their PCs were directly connected to the private network. In simpler terms, it is a type of network that allows you to browse safely, without revealing any of your real location, browsing or private data to your ISP or any other monitoring service. The problem is that sometimes the VPN may sometimes fail to load, or we may forget to open it in the first place, and that is where an app like VPN Connection Indicator can come in handy.

As the name of the app pretty much sums it up, all this program offers is a monitoring service, showing you in the system tray whether you are connected to a Virtual Private Network or not. The way this is indicated is similar to the way the Windows OS displays whether you are connected to the Internet or not, with a red indicator for "No". If you have the option of connecting yourself to more than just one VPN service, VPN Connection Indicator can also act as a VPN service lister and connector, allowing to choose the preferred one.

VPN Connection Indicator consumes next to no memory at all while running, does not delay system startup nor does it affect your Internet connection speed. More so, the VPN service detection abilities of this tool are quite impressive, since it managed to detect all VPN services it was provided.

VPN Connection Indicator is a simple app to use, and that is the way it should be anyway, making it a great reminder for you to keep your browsing habits hidden from unauthorized eyes and services.
