Is Twitch Helper Pro safe?
Twitch Helper Pro redirects Twitch HLS playlist requests to twitch.ggsel.net during playback.
Twitch Helper Pro enables its proxy rule by default and redirects Twitch HLS playlist requests from usher.ttvnw.net to twitch.ggsel.net. The redirected URL includes the requested Twitch channel playlist filename, and the recipient server also sees the connecting IP address as part of the network request.
