Velar – Local privacy firewall for AI
Hacker NewsVelar – Local privacy firewall for AI
I realized I was leaking sensitive data to ChatGPT every day. Emails, API keys, internal data. So I built a local firewall that detects and masks sensitive data before it leaves your machine. It runs as a local proxy, supports streaming, and restores data in responses. Everything is local. Would love feedback.
