CLUSTER FAILURES-MACOS-PROXY · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-13

macOS VPN proxy watchdog tools

The cluster consists of macOS daemons and utilities that monitor and maintain VPN, proxy, and network connectivity for AI coding assistants and remote access, restarting failed services and running health checks. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from -- it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are flowlight and macos-network-recovery, each with 1 star, followed by meeting-nudge with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

  1. 01vpn-guardian0★16 dayslivehobbySecurity agent that monitors VPN connections, detects drops and IP leaks, and sends alerts to a Mac and phone.
  2. 02autoConnetGPT0★28 days—hobbymacOS watchdog that keeps remote access to an AI assistant reachable by checking network, VPN, and proxy status and recovering from failures.
  3. 03macos-network-recovery1★29 days—macOS command-line tool that diagnoses network failures and selectively restores connectivity while preserving proxy and static network settings.
  4. 04cactus-mini-rescue0★1 mo—macOS network utility that snapshots current settings, clears only hijacked proxy and DNS entries, and rolls back if connectivity worsens.
  5. 05clash-bridge-for-codex-macos0★1 molivehobbymacOS utility that makes an AI coding assistant use the active system proxy to prevent repeated connection failures.
  6. 06easyconnect-keeper0★1 mo—hobbymacOS daemon that keeps a VPN client and proxy running, restarts them after failures, and verifies intranet access with health checks.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
