API / URL to check if I'm on ProtonVPN (lemmy.world)

Has Proton added this yet? Most competitors I’ve used always had it. Just go to some url and it will tell you if you’re on Proton.

So far I’ve just been told to check my ip - this is cumbersome and often impractical. I don’t want to break my connection to compare, I’m on my mobile and VPN is on the WiFi router so if I just disconnects from WiFi that will send me to my carrier network so I can’t compare with the WiFi, I may have VPN also on mobile and want to verify that I stay on proton both on and off WiFi, etc.

I think first of all, there should be a clear message when visiting proton sites if I’m on their vpn or not, at least on ProtonVPN, and there should also be a separate url like test.proton.me that tells me just this and is easy to curl etc.

Doesn't https://ip.me/ cover it? That page is made by Proton. While it doesn't have a "yes you are connected to Proton" box, it does show your connection and thus you can deduct whether you're on Proton VPN or not.

I don’t understand how that page is any better than every other IP page out there - other than being more disappointing in not providing a clear answer since it’s actually made by the one entity who could have provided it.
