Is Cloud VPN safe?
Cloud VPN sends the first page URL visited on each host to vpnincloud.com before the VPN connects.
Cloud VPN's default referer protection records each host it has already handled and, before a VPN session is connected, redirects the first top-level navigation URL for that host through vpnincloud.com/protect. That request includes the full original page URL, so vpnincloud.com receives browsing history for those first visits per host.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Cloud VPN 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.
