Core Principle: We firmly believe your data is your property. VPN Connectivity Monitor is built specifically to operate 100% locally on your device without transmitting any personal information.
1. Single Purpose Description
VPN Connectivity Monitor monitors your internet connection to specific, configurable domains. Its sole purpose is to verify if your VPN or secure connection is actively routing traffic and to alert you immediately if that connection is lost or impaired.
2. No Data Collection
Our commitment to privacy is absolute. The extension operates completely locally in your browser. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:
- Personally identifiable information
- Health or financial information
- Authentication information or passwords
- Personal communications
- Location data
- User activity or website content
3. Web History & Networking
To function, the extension regularly "pings" established endpoints (such as dns.google or 1.1.1.1) using minimal network requests. We do not track, collect, or monitor your web history.
Network permissions (such as host_permissions: *://*/*) are strictly used to allow the extension to reach the test domains you configure in order to verify global network reachability.
4. Essential Permissions
The extension requires the following browser permissions solely to function as described:
- alarms: To run periodic background checks (heartbeats) on site connectivity.
- notifications: To display instant visual alerts when your connection drops.
- offscreen: To play an audible alert sound simultaneously with the notification.
- storage: To save your personal settings (like check intervals and custom domains) locally on your own machine.
5. Open Source Transparency
VPN Connectivity Monitor is fully open source. Our code contains zero analytics, zero external servers, and zero telemetry. You are welcome and encouraged to inspect the source code on GitHub at any time to verify our practices.
