User reviews

Users appreciate IP Geolocator for its reliability, VPN compatibility, lightweight permissions, and valuable features such as IP change alerts and DNS leak checks. However, several users report issues with delayed IP change notifications, lack of clear settings to disable these alerts, an outdated IP database causing inaccurate geolocation, and frequent false network error messages. Overall, it's considered a useful and well-designed tool with room for improvement in notification management and database updates.

Excellent tool if you're using a VPN, just to make sure your preferred country IP is currently being used. Thanks a million, dear Aykut Çevik! Blessings!

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.
