Is VPN Free Unlimited - VPNLY safe?
VPN Free Unlimited - VPNLY sends the user's real IP to a third-party server on every startup and bundles hardcoded proxy credentials.
On each browser startup, the extension sends the user's real IP address to gapi.268222219.xyz to perform a geolocation check for Russia detection. The extension bundle contains hardcoded plaintext proxy credentials for five *.freeruproxy.ink servers, visible to anyone who inspects the source. When users log in, their passwords are hashed with unsalted MD5 client-side before being transmitted to api.kurva.cc.

Shared hosts - 4 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
