Is SOCKS5 Proxy safe?
SOCKS5 Proxy routes browser traffic through a user-configured SOCKS5 proxy when the user enables it.
When enabled from the popup, the extension changes Chrome's proxy setting to a fixed SOCKS5 server using the host and port entered by the user. That means browser traffic can pass through that configured proxy, and the extension can restore the same setting on startup if Always Keep Connect is enabled.
