Is Free VPN Proxy - Mars safe?

Low risk

Free VPN Proxy - Mars sends a proxy-auth check URL to api.telegra.ph when the VPN connects.

When you connect the VPN, the extension sets Chrome proxy settings and starts an offscreen worker that requests a cleartext api.telegra.ph URL. The request is used as a proxy-auth trigger and includes the fixed getPage/fvp-11-30 path with a random suffix.
