Is Free VPN VNNet safe?

High risk

Free VPN VNNet sends proxy credentials to any website that requests HTTP authentication while connected.

When the VPN is connected, Free VPN VNNet responds to every browser authentication challenge with the current proxy username and password. The handler applies to all URLs and does not limit those credentials to the VPN proxy host, so an unrelated website that asks for HTTP authentication can receive them.
