    Hopefully future CyberDragon versions will feature a section/tab in the preferences labeled "Status" or "Details", displaying response headers and their contents, etc. In the meantime, I wish "remote IP and port" info would display to toolbar or somewhere in the content pane.

    Separately, I am presenting a more complex feature request ~~ involving functionality perhaps spanning "Trackers" and/or "Notifications" prefs:

    -- ability to whitelist/enumerate "permitted ports", resulting in an alert (confirm/block) when a request representing connection to a non-whitelisted remote port (e.g. 8081) would occur

    -- tickbox preference to alert (confirm/block) when a request resulting from embedded numeric (non-DNS) URL would occur.

    Such anomalies are perhaps more common to embedded malware links than tracker links; regardless, they may merit suspicion.

      Status page that shows remove ip:port and/or server http responses would be a good idea. Also there could be geolocation info about the server added.

      Adding whilelist of permitted ports or blocking numberic urls is something that I usually handle with firewall and hosts file.

      But I don't see no reason to include some similar functionality to trackers tab.
      Just have to make sure that surfing speed does not suffer (there are already quite alot checking done for each request: checking tracker, checking MCB, checking cookies and soon logging request).
