Add-on summary

This addon won't be maintained further. I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on gitlab will also remain available to fork. I do have a greasyfork account and may publish works there in the future. I have mild intentions to reimplement the core functionality of CSL, IBCP, and DID as public userscripts.

Available for Chrome too.

Temporary update notice Due to a bug in the previous version, you are likely to get error messages about an invalid string after updating. Please uninstall and reinstall the addon to fix this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

User reviews

Works great! It's reassuring to have a nice flag icon in the menu bar to show that the VPN did not silently die. Thanks a lot for this useful extension! Here's two feature suggestions: - support custom checker URL, then I can add my own server and check as often as I like - Is the geoiplookup only performed on IP change, or cached? Just to not run into ratelimiting issues if I had higher poll rates.
