Result Table
Each hub uses two rows. The first row shows index, ID, country flag, name, online status, guests, share, and reliability. The second row shows copyable connection addresses and TLS shield icons.
Sorting And Pagination
Sortable column headers update the query string. Filtered result pages are marked noindex so Google indexes the main search page while users can still browse filtered views.
