I like this plugin in my browser which shows the physical nationality of the server from a website I am visiting as well as other information.
Who knew a russian illegal book hosting site would be hosted in Netherlands :blobcatgooglyshrug:

@mur2501 I suspect it only shows you what country owns the IP address end point, not necessarily the server or data?

@freemo
Actually it shows the location of the server our browser is communicating with for a website.
As well as the country where the domain is owned.

@mur2501 @freemo Interesting, what's the name of the plugin?

I agree with @freemo, it's more likely to be the IP ownership of the provider. If you are lucky the provider might have allocated a specific IP range to a given data centre.

I can't see how it would resolve that info when the server(s) are behind a proxy or using a VPN for that matter.
