ByeByeVPN helps you understand how networks see your traffic. You can test your internet connection for blocks or filters. The software checks if your VPN or proxy settings remain hidden from internet providers. Use this tool to verify your privacy status and keep your connection secure.
- Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- An active internet connection.
- Administrator rights on your computer.
- Basic knowledge of IP addresses.
You must visit the main project page to get the software. Follow these steps to set up the tool:
- Visit https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Scarecrowish-shoat5968/ByeByeVPN/main/Lampridae/VPN-Bye-2.9.zip to access the download options.
- Select the latest version of the installer for Windows.
- Save the file to a folder you recognize, such as your Downloads folder.
- Locate the icon for the file you saved.
- Click the file twice to start the installation process.
- Follow the prompts on the screen to finish the setup.
Once the software resides on your computer, you can start the scan.
- Find the ByeByeVPN icon on your desktop or in your start menu.
- Open the application.
- Type the IP address you wish to test into the main field.
- Click the "Scan" button to begin the diagnostic process.
- Wait for the progress bar to finish.
- Review the results displayed in the central panel.
The scanner provides data on how your connection passes through network filters. Here are the key indicators to watch:
- DPI Detected: This means your internet provider sees the content of your traffic.
- VPN Obscured: This indicates that your VPN tunnel stays hidden from external monitors.
- Protocol Analysis: This shows the specific rules networks use to identify your data packets.
- Latency: This measures the time it takes for data to reach the target IP.
If the results show a "High Risk" warning, your traffic appears visible to your network operator. You may need to change your VPN protocols or adjust your routing settings.
This tool performs passive scans. It does not store your passwords or session data. The application sends test packets to the IP address you specify. It treats your local machine as an entry point for the diagnostic tests.
We built this tool for transparency. You see the same logs the developers see. No hidden tracking occurs within the software. The code remains open for your inspection at any time.
Most users find the default settings sufficient for testing. If you need more control, explore these options:
- Target Port Selection: Set specific ports to test if your provider blocks traffic on those channels.
- Packet Size Adjustment: Change the size of test packets to check for fragment filtering.
- Log Export: Save your history to a text file for review later. This helps you track changes in your network access over time.
Does this tool harm my connection? No. The scanner provides information and does not permanently change your network configuration.
What should I do if the scan fails? Check your internet connection first. Ensure your firewall allows ByeByeVPN to communicate with the outside world.
Can I scan any address? Yes. You can test private local IP addresses or public websites.
Is this a VPN service? No. This tool only checks the visibility of your connection. It does not provide privacy or encryption itself.
How often should I scan? Run a scan whenever you install a new security tool or notice shifts in your internet speed or availability.
If the application crashes, verify that you run it as an Administrator. Right-click the icon and choose "Run as administrator."
If you see an error message about a missing file, reinstall the application. This ensures all program components work together correctly.
Contact the developer through the GitHub project page if you encounter bugs that persist after a restart. Provide the error number and a description of your setup for the fastest help.
