Is TikVPN - Fast & Safe Proxy safe?
TikVPN derives a persistent device ID from a canvas fingerprint and sends it with every backend request.
Instead of storing a random device ID locally, TikVPN renders text to a hidden canvas and hashes the resulting image to produce a device fingerprint. This value is attached as a 'mac' parameter on API calls and sent to the extension's own backend when selecting a VPN server, so it can identify the device even after the extension is reinstalled or its storage is cleared.
