I work for IPinfo and am trying to find out if any open-source projects would implement this feature, particularly in a status bar configuration.
The implementation will be super simple. Set up your local IP address or IP address range (if you are on a dynamic IP address connection). Consistently call 'ipinfo.io/ip' every 5 seconds to check if the IP address is changing from your home IP address. You will get an alert if the IP address changes. So, when you turn on your VPN, this notification should alert you that your IP address has changed.
I would recommend using the 'ipinfo.io/ip' with a public IP address-based implementation as you can get a virtually infinite amount of queries. With just an 'ipinfo.io' query which gets you the location information as well, you get 1,000 queries without a token. This could work if you reduce the API call rate to a higher interval (not at a second level but only at a minute-level interval). But you do get the location information, which validates the VPN's location information.

This reminds me of the time Citi lost $900 million due to terrible software [0].
I built this to help me read faster. There are many similar websites but they require too much clicking. By contrast mine only requires you to paste the text.
I use this to read (mostly long form) articles that I sort of find interesting, but not interesting enough to invest time slowly reading it. I do not use it to read books.
I can currently read around 500 WPM using this, which is a huge improvement for me because I remember a time when 250 WPM was too fast for me.

I'm considering them, but it's not obvious from their sales copy if the service they're providing is simple (upload files; start server from bash), or if they've got some complicated tooling that I'd need to use before anything actually works. They don't have a free trial account to just spin it up and see, so I wanted to be sure.
That's pretty much it. They give you a server you can do whatever you want with.
The 'droplets' are billed by the hour so you could try it for a few pennies. I don't think you even need to spend any of your own money. I've seen referrals that give you credit for signing up.

I would. The only thing you should watch out for is not going over your bandwidth limit, which only applies to outbound traffic.
I occasionally run this just to make sure, especially when using an unfamiliar service:
