Hello Nisarga

What is the purpose of this extension?

This extension will check if the user of any device is using any Virtual Private Network or Proxy to manipulate his original IP Address or location.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a mechanism for creating a secure connection between a computing device and a computer network, or between two networks, using an insecure communication medium such as the public Internet.
A VPN can extend access to a private network (one that disallows or restricts public access) to users who do not have direct access to it, such as an office network allowing secure access from off-site over the Internet. The benefits of a VPN include security, reduced cost…

That is what the extension can do – but what is the purpose of what it can do. If an App used the Extension, what use would the result be?
