We got tired of configuring VPNs, browser extensions, and DNS settings just to get basic privacy. So we built HSIP.
What it does
HSIP is a Windows app that:
Blocks trackers (Google Analytics, DoubleClick, ad networks)
Encrypts your traffic with ChaCha20-Poly1305
Runs silently in the background
Shows a colored tray icon (green = protected, red = offline)
Install
Download HSIP-Setup.exe
Run it
Done
No configuration. No browser extensions. No DNS changes. It just works.
How it works
HSIP runs three components:
hsip-gateway.exe - HTTP/HTTPS proxy that blocks trackers
hsip-cli.exe - Background daemon with status API
hsip-tray.exe - System tray icon
The installer configures Windows to route traffic through the gateway automatically. When you uninstall, your original settings are restored.
Check if it's working
curl http://127.0.0.1:8787/status
{
"protected": true,
"cipher": "ChaCha20-Poly1305"
}
