Is BritVPN (formerly Beebs) safe?

Low risk

BritVPN sends signed-in user identity, license state, VPN location status, and proxy IP metadata to Amplitude analytics.

When a user signs in, the extension identifies the user's email to Amplitude and logs a sign-in event with the extension version, extension ID, email, and license-check fields. Its daily background activity also fetches IP and geolocation data, then logs whether BritVPN is active, country fields, IP address, and license state to Amplitude.

Shared hosts - 3 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed BritVPN (formerly Beebs) 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.
