Check IP, ASN, and VPN leaks from terminal with curl

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created hackmyip.com, a no-frills service that returns IP, ASN, location, and VPN/proxy status via curl. It offers plain text and JSON endpoints for scripting, including a proxy check to verify VPN leaks. The tool requires no signup or API key, making it ideal for shell scripts and SSH sessions.
