User level: Level 1 (8 points)Has anyone used iOS-ShareEasy yet?
Only it just gives a spurious IP address to share to on your network. I have no idea where this is sharing to as its not a valid IP address on my network, and its certainly not the windows PC i'm looking to share to and I don't want to click allow if its send data to an unknown location?
Is it an intermediary server IP address for processing before sharing?

What website were you visiting when the prompt appeared?
It’s an Apple system privacy prompt, although the wording is unusual because it is asking about a Safari extension called “iOS‑ShareEasy,” not an ordinary iPhone app permission. What extensions have you installed in Safari?
The extension wants permission to read/share the current Safari item, typically the webpage’s URL, title, and possibly selected page content to the local network address 192.168.178.23 . That address is a private LAN address, so it points to a device or service on the same WiFi network, not a public internet site. Apple’s Safari extension permissions can be granted temporarily, per website, or more broadly “Allow Once” and “Always Allow” choices.
