vpnapi - client

Alguns sabem… Sou usuario do servico vpnapi.io, uso muito ele. A ponto de criar algumas sistemas que dependem desse servico.

Agora resolvi criar um simples cli para fazer consultas no console. Feito em Golang, super simples e sem frescura… Caso queira usar, o repositorio esta’ no https://git.sr.ht/~umgeher/vpnapi.

Baixe o repositorio e se voce estiver em um ambiente unix like, apenas digite:

make

Ele vai rodar o go build com a flag -ldflags="-s -w". Ele vai gerar um executavel chamado vpnapi.

Para usar a API do vpnapi, voce deve criar uma conta no servico. Caso esteja com preguica (hehe), segue uma key livre deles:

727b7b6c9c284ff58219d143b4e13ffd

Agora coloque isso no seu env, para unix like, voce pode colocar no seu .profile a seguinte linha:

export VPNAPI_KEY="727b7b6c9c284ff58219d143b4e13ffd"

Agora voce pode usar a vontade o servico do VPNApi.io.

~/krig/vpnapi> ./vpnapi 8.8.8.8

Writing an IPFS publishing service

# Introduction I started playing with IPFS because I wanted a different way of publishing data over the Internet. My first experiments with IPFS and a private swarm showed that the technology is useful, but the user experience is bad. It is easy to g…
