Is Free VPN For Window 10 Chrome safe?
Free VPN For Window 10 Chrome routes all browser traffic through proxy servers listed in a vendor-hosted file.
When the user clicks 'IP LIST', the extension downloads a JSON list of proxy hosts and login credentials from app-how-to-use-it.com and saves it locally. It then sets the browser's proxy so all HTTP and HTTPS traffic goes through the chosen host, and re-applies it on every startup. The vendor can change the proxy hosts in that list at any time.
