Extension summary

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.

Works and simple, informative. Suggested to let people know what network port need to use for this plugin since people in workplace might found it blocked by IT department. They might blame you for plugin not working :)
