Is VPN safe?
VPN routes all browser traffic through proxy servers chosen via the softnour.com API.
The extension asks softnour.com for a list of proxy servers, then sets the browser to send web traffic through the selected proxy and supplies the proxy credentials automatically. Pages visited and request headers therefore pass through the vendor-supplied proxy, as is typical for a VPN-style extension.
