  • IP Geolocator on Android

    I made the Chrome/Chromium Extension “IP Geolocator” also available for Android. You can find it on the PlayStore.

    This app shows your current IP address and geolocational information about it.

    It also notifies you, if you have a broken VPN or proxy connection, when the country-code and/or IP address changes unexpectedly. You can set an alert with a special ringtone and or vibration.

    You can also display your IP position in Google Maps or check for DNS leaks via browser (external service).

    Please note, that the information about your location are fetched out of a database and may not be the same as your real location. This app shows your location like the websites would match your IP to any location.


    Get it on Google Play

    WhatsApp Web zeigt diese Information im DOM der Seite web.whatsapp.com allerdings an – manchmal jedoch zu schnell fürs Auge. Abhilfe schafft ein kleines Inject über die Dev-Konsole des Browsers, um in der Konsole den Status der anderen anzeigen zu lassen.

  • Chrome ‘IP Geolocator’ extension

    I have released a new Chrome extension:

    IP Geolocator shows your IP address and also geolocational informations about your IP address.

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.

Also you can display your position in Google Maps.

Please feel free to make some requests at github:

  • Installing AMQP through PECL

    It seems to be a problem to find an easy to use solution to install AMQP support for PHP through PECL. As I already mentioned, I used to build the client library on my own and it worked like a charm.
