## Description

Which country hosts the site you're visiting? FlagScout tells you at a glance.

The hosting country's flag appears right in your toolbar. One click opens a full
profile of the server behind the site:

🌍 Location: country, city and a world map
🔎 Network identity: site IP (IPv4 and IPv6), reverse DNS, ISP / host
🛡️ Trust: IP reputation via VirusTotal, plus VPN, proxy, Tor, datacenter and mobile tags
📋 Domain WHOIS: registrar, dates and domain age, a valuable signal against phishing
🧭 DNS records: A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT in one click
📡 Your public IP: always in view, handy for checking your VPN
📄 Report copy: everything that matters, copied in one click

FlagScout works right away, with no sign-up and almost no setup: only the VirusTotal
reputation requires a free, optional API key.

Privacy-first: no data sent to the developer, no tracking, no ads.
