Privacy Guard – IP & VPN Check

About

Know exactly what the internet sees about you – in one click.

Privacy Guard shows your real public IP address, internet service provider, city/country location, and whether your connection is currently protected by a VPN or proxy. It’s the simplest way to check your digital privacy status without visiting shady websites.

========================================
   WHY PRIVACY GUARD?
========================================

ONE‑CLICK PRIVACY CHECK
Click the extension icon and instantly see:
• Your IP address
• Your ISP (Internet Service Provider)
• Approximate city and country
• Whether a VPN or proxy is active

 VPN RECOMMENDATION
If your IP is exposed, Privacy Guard offers a trusted VPN solution right from the popup – no ads, just a helpful suggestion.

WORKS EVERYWHERE
No sign‑up, no configuration. Just install and click. Works on any website, even behind corporate firewalls.

LIGHTWEIGHT & PRIVATE
The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All IP lookups are done anonymously via a third‑party API, and nothing about your browsing history is ever recorded.

========================================
   WHY THIS MATTERS
========================================

Your IP address can reveal your approximate location, your ISP, and whether you’re browsing from home, work, or a public network. Many people don’t realise how exposed they are. Privacy Guard makes it visible – and gives you a single button to fix it.

========================================
   FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
========================================

Q: Does this extension track me?
A: No. We don’t use analytics, tracking, or any form of user monitoring. The extension only checks your IP when you click the icon.

Q: Will it slow down my browser?
A: Absolutely not. The extension has no background processes except when you open the popup or visit a supported VPN site (to offer the best recommendation).

Q: What information is sent to external servers?
A: Only a minimal request to a public IP‑geolocation API. No cookies, identifiers, or browsing data are attached.

   PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
========================================

• “scripting” – used to apply VPN status indicators on specific sites (purely visual).
• “tabs” – needed to detect when you navigate to a new page, so the indicator stays accurate.
• “host permissions” – required to access the public IP API and to check the security status of any website you visit.

All permissions are used exclusively for the functionality described above. No data is read, stored, or shared.
