Connection Monitor Widget

Connection Monitor puts your VPN status, network health, and connection quality right on your home screen — so you can quickly check whether your VPN is actually working and how your connection is doing.

REAL VPN VERIFICATION, NOT JUST A FLAG

Most monitoring tools only check whether Android reports a VPN interface as active. Connection Monitor goes further: it verifies that your VPN is actually passing traffic with a real network check, so it can distinguish between "VPN connected" and "VPN connected but not actually working."

CORE FEATURES

* Reliable VPN status and genuine connectivity verification
* Public IP address and country lookup
* Local network details: connection type, local IP, DNS servers, and hostname
* Current download/upload speed and daily traffic totals
* Ping latency, packet loss, and a calculated connection quality score
* VPN session duration tracking
* Full app dashboard with live-updating connection information
* Configurable background refresh interval
* Choice of ping test server: Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, or your own custom host

WIDGET AT A GLANCE

See your connection without opening the app. Add a widget in Small, Medium, or Large size and it automatically adapts to the available space. Display your VPN status, public IP, network type, current speed, daily traffic, ping, and connection quality at a glance.

ALWAYS-ON STATUS, YOUR WAY

Keep your connection status visible while using other apps with a persistent status bar notification, a small floating overlay, or both. Choose exactly which fields each one shows, independently of the widget.

VPN WATCHDOG

Let Connection Monitor continuously monitor your VPN connection and detect when it disconnects or stops passing traffic. Get alerted when your VPN fails instead of discovering the problem later.

NOTIFICATIONS, YOUR WAY

Get notified when your VPN disconnects, when you lose internet access, when connection quality drops, or when packet loss spikes. Each event has its own on/off toggle and Android notification channel, with adjustable sensitivity and a built-in history so you can review past alerts.

MAKE IT YOURS

* Choose exactly which fields appear on your widgets and monitoring displays
* Light, Dark, or Follow System theme — applies to the widget and the app together
* Adjustable font size and information density
* Available in English and Russian
* In-app language override independent of your device's system language

PRIVACY-RESPECTING BY DESIGN

Connection Monitor stores everything locally on your device. The only data sent off-device is what's strictly necessary to do its job: a public IP lookup to show your public IP and country, and lightweight latency checks to your chosen ping server. Nothing is collected, tracked, or sold. See our privacy policy for full details.
