#Prompt injection firewall for macOS

A transparent HTTPS proxy that scans AI API traffic for prompt injections. Install once, protect everything. No data ever leaves your machine.

Transparent

Install and click Enable. Ilvarion configures your system to route AI traffic through the local proxy automatically. No SDK changes needed.

Scan + Score

35 regex patterns with Unicode normalization. Heuristic scoring weighs severity, density, and category diversity. Blocks above 0.7.

Private

Everything runs on your Mac. No cloud. No telemetry. The CA certificate and all scan logs stay on your device.
