The browser's address bar reflects this behaviour showing the hostname right after the IP (e.g. http://127.0.0.1/www.example.com/). The extension also tries to take care of all requests to either the IP or the hostname in a consistent way. Issues After the redirect, the user is effectively in a different domain that the one they expected. They may notice some functional differences:
