In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests broad permissions typical of a VPN: proxy and webRequest to route traffic, host access to cover all sites, and privacy/notifications for settings and alerts. However, it also requests the "management" permission, which allows it to manage other extensions and apps—this is unusual for a VPN and widens its potential reach beyond traffic handling. The Permissions & Access score of 45% reflects the elevated risk from this overreach.
VPN extensions by nature can see all your browsing traffic, so a careful user should trust the provider entirely. Free VPNs in particular may monetize through data collection or ads, and this developer declares it collects Location data. Always review a VPN’s logging policy, jurisdiction, and business model, regardless of store ratings.
The strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership (100%), indicating the extension is actively updated and the publisher is clearly identified—reducing abandonment risks. The weakest, Permissions & Access, highlights the broad access that could be abused if the extension were compromised. Even with a high Community Reputation, the permission scope warrants caution.
