Is Bart Proxy Switcher safe?
Bart Proxy Switcher sends your saved proxy list, including usernames and passwords, to a third-party server over unencrypted WebSocket.
When you use the proxy test feature, the extension sends every proxy entry (host, port, username, password) to a hardcoded server at 45.56.70.101:5656 over ws://, with no encryption. The server replies with the type, response time and country for each proxy, which the extension stores and displays.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Bart Proxy Switcher contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
