Presentation of the Show IP plugin

Show IP is a simple extension that detects and displays your current external IP address and geolocation information in a convenient popup window.

What are the advantages?

✓ Unlimited service and 100% free. ✓ Shows your public (remote, visible from the internet) IP address. ✓ Shows location information (if found), such as country, city and region. ✓ Shows if Cookies and JavaScript are enabled on your browser. ✓ Shows the information of the URL you are currently visiting.

Explanation of the concept

When your browser (the client) connects to an Internet site (the server), the IP address is transmitted in clear and it is therefore possible to display it.

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique number assigned to each device wishing to communicate with the Internet.

The IP address is systematically traced and recorded in the logs or "activity logs" of the remote server.

However, it is possible to use a VPN or a proxy to change your public IP address and no longer be traceable on the internet.

Security and user privacy

⚠️ This plugin does not retain or store any information about your data. It only displays public data that everyone can see.

Let's respect privacy together!

Extension safety

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 IP requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Show IP may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
