User Reviews

Users find the add-on simple, convenient, and effective for displaying the external IP and verifying VPN status. The ability to copy the IP is appreciated. However, several users report that the IP address does not update promptly with network changes, limiting usability. Many express a desire for persistent IP display in the browser UI and notifications for IP changes to enhance monitoring and security.

Pros

Simple and easy to use, fulfilling its promise of showing the external IP.
Convenient for verifying VPN status and external IP quickly.
Allows copying the displayed IP address, which users appreciate.

Cons

Does not update the displayed IP frequently; needs manual refresh or reopening the browser to detect IP changes.
Lacks persistent display of IP address; users want it always visible without needing clicks.
Missing features like notifications or color changes when the IP changes to alert users.

Recent reviews

Is Show External IP Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Show External IP requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
