Display the server IP address, with a realtime summary of IPv4, IPv6, and HTTPS information across all page elements.

IPvFoo uses the webRequest API to extract protocol-related information as a web page downloads, and summarizes it into a convenient table. Everything is captured and displayed privately, without creating any additional network traffic.

A large 4 or 6 on the extension icon shows whether the outer page was fetched using IPv4 or IPv6. If the page contains elements from other domains, a smaller 4 or 6 appears alongside.

When you click the icon, a table appears with a row for each domain:

- A padlock icon for http://, https://, or a mix of both.

- The IPv4 or IPv6 address. If connections span more than one address, the most recent one wins. The address is highlighted in yellow while connections are open.

- A "cached" symbol, meaning that no actual connections took place, so the IP address might be stale.

- An "S" for WebSocket handshakes in Chrome 58+.

Clicking on a hostname or address will select it for convenient copying. There's also a right-click option to look up addresses with bgp.he.net. I'm not affiliated with that service, but it's my personal favorite.

IPvFoo is Free Software (Apache 2.0 license).

I love this ext but there is a unexpecting behaviour happened, when i accesed to a web Ipvfoo gives me more results in one OS (xp old chrome) than in Win7 (new chrome).
In XP when I go to larazon_es show me 39 results but same web in win7 shows just 31 and in win7 virtualmachine even a lot less.

Why that happend??

I love this browser extension however the only issue I see is that recently it has stopped working on Chrome Dev on MacOS Catalina -- every website shows the generic white "IPvFoo" icon instead of the "6" or "4". Extension works great with Chrome Dev on windows 10 so i'm not sure what has changed.

This is an amazingly useful extension for those of us trying to get up on IPv6. I brought up a HE.net tunnel for this LAN, and got IPs assigned to all the local devices. I didn't see a really good way to see which sites are IPv6, and the extent of their use.

I'm impressed seeing how many organizations are up now. Not too long ago, it was rare at best. My ISP still doesn't support IPv6, but the HE tunnel lets me.

The connection chart is nice, so I can see the extent of the site's implementation.
