Developers (two dudes) are super responsive and would likely release an IP customization feature upon request. Is there any service that would tolerate this [D]DOS-y kind of behavior that would feel more privacy friendly than Cloudflare?
IsThereNet [for macOS] watches for internet connection status changes and draws a colored line at the top of the screen to indicate the status.
Edit: Thanks everybody!
(1) ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Requests hardly constitute a burden on a server.
(2) There is little privacy concern simply exposing your IP to Cloudflare.
(3) Uptime-Kuma can be self hosted to accomplish this task with more bells and whistles.
(4) There is an appetite for daydreaming of DDOSing bad Alphabetic actors ;) You civilly digidisobedient rascals!

1.1.1.1 is cloudflare dns. You can run a constant ping to it, forever, with no problem. Same with 8.8.8.8, which is google. If you want something more FOSS oriented, go with OpenDNS.
Doing so doesn’t really expose much information about you, the concern here really isn’t warranted
Neat - thanks. Looks like one could use the following, but not necessary:
