IPFence — Pre-login IP consistency guard

Helps users who switch IPs often verify their current IP is clean and geo-consistent before logging into foreign banks or AI services

Problem

Users juggle overseas banking, AI services, and crypto exchanges, switching IPs to avoid fraud controls, but VPN split-tunneling sometimes routes them to the wrong region. They only discover the issue after receiving a bank inquiry about an anomalous login, with no tool to check IP consistency before it happens.

Solution

A lightweight local tool/app that checks the current public IP's country, ISP, and risk score before the user opens a sensitive app, compares it to a per-service expected region, and alerts on mismatch. Supports shortcuts and automation rules; all checks happen locally with no data upload.

Users

Cross-border users of overseas banks, crypto exchanges, and AI subscriptions, especially digital nomads and remote workers who switch regions frequently

MVP

One-tap IP country and risk check via iOS Shortcut/Android widget; per-app expected region settings; local notification on mismatch; recent IP change history for self-audit; entirely local, no IP data uploaded

Revenue

Free basic checks; premium features (multi-region rules, history export, risk score alerts) via monthly subscription or one-time purchase

Why now

Overseas services are tightening fraud controls, causing frequent IP anomaly inquiries; big players won't build such a niche cross-app tool, and indie developers can ship fast using public IP intelligence APIs plus local rules
