Simple CLI Colorizing in Go
Note, you also need to handle piping to other programs or sending output to a file. See the logic in https://github.com/fatih/color/blob/master/color.go, https://github.com/mattn/go-colorable and https://github.com/mattn/go-isatty.

Platform agnostic way to delete a line in the console?
The platform I'm using is Windows, and I found that prior to Win10 there was no support for ANSI escape codes in the command line, but I have Win10 and am pretty sure my version is up-to-date enough to have this support. I have also been successfully using Fatih's color package, so I had assumed that the escape codes were working. But they are not working when I do it manually, so fmt.Print("\033[F") does not work.

First Go program - would love criticism: a small program that outputs VPN status, IP and emoji-flag
I would use bytes.Contains instead of string.Contains and I would use github.com/fatih/color for ansi colours rather than re-implienting it yourself. Best not to call log.Fatal in functions other than main - it makes testing hard. Instead they should return an error after their main return value.
