Have you visited a website and wondered where it really was located? Now you can know the true location regardless of the address displayed in the Address Bar with Flagfox.

您是否访问过网站并想知道它的真正位置？ 现在，无论使用Flagfox在地址栏中显示的地址如何，您都可以知道真实的位置。

This can be especially helpful if you are worried about the validity of the website you are visiting (i.e. a fake bank website or a website set up by scammers).

如果您担心所访问的网站(例如，伪造的银行网站或欺诈者建立的网站)的有效性，这可能会特别有用。

Before Flagfox

在弗拉弗克斯之前

As an example, we have visited the How-To Geek website before installing the Flagfox extension. Nothing our of the ordinary here…

例如，我们在安装Flagfox扩展程序之前已访问How-To Geek网站。 这里没有我们的普通人……

After Flagfox

在弗拉弗克斯之后

Now you can see a difference when we visited the How-To Geek website after installing the Flagfox extension. Notice the little flag symbol in the address bar (default location).

现在，在安装Flagfox扩展程序后，当我们访问How-To Geek网站时，您会发现有所不同。 请注意地址栏中的小标志符号(默认位置)。

Watch what happens after hovering the mouse over the little flag symbol. Now we can see the website address, the IP address, and the country that the website server is located in. Very nice bit of information!

观察将鼠标悬停在小旗符号上后会发生什么。 现在我们可以看到网站地址，IP地址以及网站服务器所在的国家/地区。非常不错的信息！

So far, so good. But what happens if a website’s server is actually located in a country that is different from the one shown in the address?

到现在为止还挺好。 但是，如果网站的服务器实际上位于与地址中显示的国家/地区不同的国家，会发生什么？

Website Address and Server Location Do Not Match

网站地址和服务器位置不匹配

Wow! Look at that warning message! Here we have a website that is listed for the United Kingdom but is actually hosted on a server in the United States.

哇！ 查看该警告消息！ 在这里，我们有一个针对英国列出的网站，但实际上托管在美国的服务器上。

And now for a closer look and more details about the website shown above…

现在，让我们仔细看看上面有关该网站的更多信息……

The nice thing about Flagfox is that the website will not be allowed to finish loading until you have clicked on the “X” on the right side (therefore granting permission to continue). Otherwise you may simply close the tab if you are worried about the validity of the website.

关于Flagfox的好处是，直到您单击了右侧的“ X”(因此才授予继续的权限)之前，该网站将无法完成加载。 否则，如果您担心网站的有效性，则可以仅关闭选项卡。

Note: You also have the option to disable the warning message from appearing again if you only want to rely on the flag symbol shown in the address bar.

注意：如果您只想依赖地址栏中显示的标志符号，则还可以选择禁用警告消息再次出现。

Assume that you are comfortable with the website (and the actual location) and allow it to finish loading. Can you acquire more information about it? Yes! Left click on the flag symbol in the address bar and a new tab will be opened with a map of the location and more information (i.e. ISP and city). Here is what displayed for the website shown above. Very nice!

假设您对网站(以及实际位置)感到满意，并允许其完成加载。 您可以获得有关它的更多信息吗？ 是! 左键单击地址栏中的标志符号，将打开一个新标签，其中包含位置地图和更多信息(即ISP和城市)。 这是上面显示的网站显示的内容。 非常好！

Ready for even more information? Middle click on the flag symbol to see detailed information about the website domain.

准备获取更多信息了吗？ 右键单击标志符号以查看有关网站域的详细信息。
