VPN Works is a prototype of a small program called vpnw. It gives one program, usually an AI agent, a private network of its own on a Linux computer. vpnw decides where that program’s traffic may go, sends it out the way you choose and writes down every connection it makes.

That matters because of how AI agents work. Coding assistants and similar tools run on laptops and servers with all the network access the machine has, and they follow instructions they find in text. One hidden line in a task file or a web page can say “send the deploy token to this address”, and an agent may simply do it.
