Vonode turns the Vonode node you run on your own server into a phone app for your numbers. Read and send texts, make and answer calls over cellular or Wi-Fi Calling, manage eSIM profiles and check line health for the SIM and eSIM lines in your own modems. WHAT YOU NEED Vonode is a companion app. It requires a Vonode node that you install and run yourself (Linux, with systemd or Docker), a compatible cellular modem, and your own SIM or eSIM with service from your carrier. Vonode does not provide hosting, mobile service, SIM plans, hardware or carrier access; these are the user's responsibility. MESSAGES • One inbox for every number on your node • Sender rules move unwanted texts to Filtered and show why • Verification codes stay in your inbox even when a sender rule matches (node software v1.4.2 or later) • Optional notifications with encrypted message previews CALLS • Phone-style keypad with contact suggestions, Recents and quick call back • Calls over cellular, or over Wi-Fi Calling where your carrier and modem support it • Always-allow and always-block lists, and a Blocked list that shows why NUMBERS AND eSIM • Signal, network, data and readiness for every line at a glance • Switch, enable, disable and remove eSIM profiles on supported eUICC cards in your modem • Keep-alive estimates for prepaid numbers, with reminders before the date • A line check that explains SIM, network, data, SMS and calling status in plain language ALSO • Wi-Fi Calling connection steps and network-path guidance (node software v1.4.2 or later) • Your own plan, balance and renewal notes in Card ledger (node software v1.4.3 or later) • Several nodes, USSD, device controls and the automations configured on your node • Contact names are matched on your device only, and only if you turn them on • Encrypted App Backup to move your settings and paired nodes to a new iPhone • English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean • Node credentials are kept in the iOS Keychain IN-APP PURCHASE Without Vonode Lifetime, you can choose one number on one node and read in the app the SMS it receives over the cellular network, and, with node software v1.4.2 or later, over Wi-Fi Calling. With node software v1.4.2 or later, you can also use Filtered, mark messages as spam or not spam, and set sender rules for that number. Node management (paired phones, administrator password, backups and updates) is also included. Outside an active trial, access to calls, sending messages, notifications, eSIM, automation, diagnostics and more numbers requires Vonode Lifetime, a one-time In-App Purchase available in the app. Vonode Lifetime unlocks one node with every feature for as long as VONODE LLC offers the Vonode services and does not renew. 7-DAY TRIAL Eligible users with node software v1.4.3 or later can obtain a free 7-day Trial, a non-consumable In-App Purchase. It unlocks one node for 7 days (168 hours) from the original App Store purchase time, even if activated later. One trial per Apple Account, node and app installation; eligibility is checked. Restoring purchases or reinstalling does not restart it, and it cannot move to another node. It does not renew or turn into a payment. At its end, calls, sending, notifications and other unlocked features stop. Your data is kept; one-number SMS access depends on this phone's free-plan slot being available. The trial needs an online node and relay; offline time is not added. You may buy Vonode Lifetime separately at the price shown in the app. Vonode is not an emergency communications service. Availability depends on your hardware, node, network and carrier. Terms of Use: https://vonode.cc/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://vonode.cc/privacy/ With node 1.4.5+, restricted actions require three lawful-use confirmations. You may decline and stay read-only; older nodes remain available for reading, maintenance and upgrade. Report misuse: support@vonode.cc.

About

IP Glance

Read full description

Your public IP, recent changes, and IP risk information — at a glance. IP Glance shows your network's public IP address, puts your last checked result in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and keeps a timeline of detected changes. No account required. CHECK YOUR IP FROM A WIDGET • Choose small or medium Home Screen widgets, or a Lock Screen widget. • See your last checked public IP, country or region, city, and data timestamp. • Tap the widget body to open the app and refresh. iOS manages widget updates, so the displayed result may not reflect your current connection. REVIEW DETECTED CHANGES • The app attempts to refresh and compare your public IP at launch, when you return to it, and when it detects network changes while running. Widget refreshes can also record detected changes. • Review old and new IP addresses, timestamps, cities, and network types in a daily timeline. Export your history as CSV. • With notifications enabled and permission granted, changes detected by the app can trigger local alerts. Widget refreshes record changes without sending alerts. • IP Glance does not check continuously in the background and may miss changes between checks. UNDERSTAND IP TYPE AND RISK FLAGS • The Purity Report uses public data and rules to estimate whether an IP belongs to a data center, residential network, or mobile network. It shows proxy flags and an estimated risk score from 0 to 100. • Look up a specific public IPv4 or IPv6 address and share the report as an image or text. • Guidance for streaming, banking and payments, and AI services is inferred from public flags. It is not a connection test or a guarantee of service access or account safety. SEE THE DATA AND ITS LIMITS • Compare available results from multiple public sources, with detected disagreements highlighted. • View IPv4 / IPv6, ISP, ASN, local IP, network type, and an estimated IP location. • Locations, classifications, proxy flags, and scores are for reference. They do not provide precise device location or certify that an IP is safe. NO ACCOUNT. HISTORY ON YOUR DEVICE. • No servers of our own and no analytics. • Query cache, change history, and settings are stored on your device. • Queries connect to public services (ipwho.is, ipapi.co, ip-api.com, and icanhazip.com), which receive the IP addresses needed for the query and standard network request information. See our Privacy Policy for details. IP Glance does not provide VPN or proxy connections.
