## Description

What is it?
VPN Frontier is a browser extension that blocks access to Russian domain zones (.ru, .рф, .su, and others) when your IP address is outside Russia. It works at the browser level — requests are intercepted before any connection to the server. No data leaves your browser.

Why?
You're abroad and want to prevent accidental access to Russian websites. Or you want to control which domain zones are accessible from your network. VPN Frontier handles this automatically — no manual proxy or firewall setup needed.

Key Features
🔒 Block-First Architecture
On install, all Russian zones are blocked instantly — before the first IP check. Blocking is lifted only after confirming a real Russian IP address. Zero vulnerability windows.
