Is DePIN Chain safe?

Clean risk

DePIN Chain routes browser traffic through KeenVPN proxy servers and includes static proxy login credentials in its service worker.

When its VPN or proxy feature is active, the extension configures Chrome's proxy settings to send browsing traffic through selected KeenVPN servers on port 3128. Its service worker supplies a bundled username and password when those proxy servers request authentication.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed DePIN Chain 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.
