A lightweight Python3 script designed to monitor network latency and VPN connectivity in real time. It pings multiple servers, displays ping times, packet drops, and automatically checks whether you are connected to a VPN. The output is presented in a clean, color-coded table that refreshes every few seconds, giving you a live snapshot of your network health.

• Real-time monitoring: Continuously pings multiple servers with configurable intervals
• Packet loss tracking: Displays packet loss percentages for quick troubleshooting
• VPN status detection: Automatically detects VPN connection status via system network interfaces
• Geographic information: Shows server locations using IP geolocation
• Color-coded output: Easy-to-read status indicators
• Live updates: Refreshes in place without cluttering your terminal

• Python 3.6+
• Internet connection
• macOS/Linux (for VPN interface detection)

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Install dependencies:

   python3 -m venv venv3
   source venv3/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the script:

python3 poker.py

Press Ctrl+C to exit.

Edit the poker.py file to customize:

• Servers: Add/remove servers in the servers dictionary
• Ping interval: Change the interval variable (default: 2 seconds)
• VPN interface: Modify the interface_name parameter in vpn_connected() function (default: "utun4")

• Network administrators: Monitor server connectivity and performance
• Remote workers: Check VPN status and connection quality
• Gamers: Monitor latency to game servers
• Developers: Test connectivity to various endpoints
• Anyone: Quick network health checks

• The script uses ifconfig to detect VPN interfaces (macOS/Linux)
• IP geolocation is provided by ipinfo.io
• Default VPN interface is set to "utun4" (common for macOS VPNs)
• Timeout is set to 2 seconds for ping operations
