Is Free VPN Proxy safe?
Free VPN Proxy routes browser traffic through a public proxy selected from remote proxy-list providers.
When the user turns the VPN on, the extension fetches public proxy candidates and applies one as Chrome's fixed proxy. Browser traffic is then sent through the selected proxy host, and the extension checks the proxied IP with checkip.amazonaws.com.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
9 other listings published from this account, 1.1M+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 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.
