Hello everyone,
I’d like to share a small CLI tool I’ve been working on called netinfo.
netinfo is a minimal command-line utility for Linux that displays network and system information in a clean and predictable way. The main goal of this tool is to only show information that can be verified, without guessing or misleading output.
For example, netinfo intentionally does not display IP-based geolocation (city/coordinates), since that data is often inaccurate depending on ISP and database. Instead, it focuses on data that is reliable and useful for troubleshooting or quick checks.
What netinfo shows:
* Public IP and local IP
* IP version (IPv4 / IPv6)
* ASN and organization (ISP)
* Reverse DNS (if available)
* Estimated network type based on ASN (mobile, fiber, etc.)
* System info: OS, kernel, architecture, hostname
* Terminal and shell
* VPN / proxy status (if detectable)
Installation (AUR):
yay -S netinfo
Usage:
netinfo
No flags or options are required. It always prints a full, structured report.

This is a personal project and still evolving. Feedback, suggestions, or code reviews are very welcome.
Thanks for your time.
