doesn't work with vpn addons #53

Closed choomchichi closed 6 years ago

choomchichi commented 6 years ago

when a vpn addon is installed, this always shows the vpn ip, not the server ip. but this one correctly works, maybe it can help: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/full-ip-info/ thanks

thank you for your replying, I tried this, but doesn't work. The "open in ..." addons work perfectly, but this one doesn't work. I enabled the "native dns resolver" option, and the external command too. the external command works but the flag is still the same as my vpn country every where.

So the extension uses your OS to resolve the DNS. This simple NodeJS code is used

require('dns').lookup('www.google.com', (err, address, family) => console.log(err, address, family))

Please try it on NodeJS and see if you can play with the code to fix the issue. If so we can push an update!
