Shows detailed information about your IP and location. Shows your IPv4 & IPv6 address and also geolocational informations about your IP addresses.

A badge of your current country is shown on the icon, which will refresh every 3s. So you can easily see, if you have a broken VPN or proxy connection when the country-code changes unexpectedly. Additionally a notification appears on your desktop when one of your IP addresses (IPv4 or IPv6) has changed - of course, it can be turned off in settings.

You can also display your position on a map by clicking the corresponding button next to the IP address.

Your user agent is shown in the entries as well.

Nutze diese sehr gute Erweiterung seit Jahren, sie arbeitet wirklich zuverlässig. Seit eines der letzten Firefox-Updates zeigt sie sehr oft Netzwerk-Fehler an, ohne dass ein Fehler besteht.
