Is Flow VPN - Fast Global Internet from FlowVPN.com safe?

Medium risk

Flow VPN sends login credentials through an encrypted API wrapper whose hardcoded key ships in the extension.

When you sign in, the extension encrypts your username, password, captcha answer, timezone offset, device channel, and timestamp with a pre-shared key embedded in its JavaScript, then posts them to configuredevice.com/vpn/windows/proxyEnc.php. Because the same key is bundled in the extension, the extra application-layer encryption can be decoded or forged by someone who obtains the code and captured API payloads, though HTTPS still protects ordinary transport.
