What the extension uses

IP Watch checks one GetGeoFix endpoint, shows the returned public IP and network hints, saves your chosen baseline locally, and can show a Chrome notification when the public IP changes.

Storage: saves your last check, saved baseline, monitor setting, and check interval on your device.

Alarms: runs the background IP check on the interval you choose.

Notifications: shows a notice only when monitoring is on and a saved network changes.

Host access: limited to https://ip.getgeofix.xyz/* for the IP check API.

Network details: city, region, country, timezone, provider, ASN, and approximate coordinates come from request headers and a server-side IP lookup when available.

Map: an OpenStreetMap frame appears only when approximate coordinates are available.
