Is GeoSpoof: Spoof Geolocation & Timezone safe?
GeoSpoof sends your public IP address to external IP and geolocation providers during VPN sync.
When VPN sync runs, GeoSpoof checks your current public IP address with several IP echo services, then sends that IP to geolocation providers to derive location data. It also injects code into every in-scope page to return spoofed geolocation, timezone, permissions, and WebRTC behavior based on the extension settings.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 4 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.
