Is VPN IP Checker safe?
VPN IP Checker sends popup IP lookups and usage beacons over HTTP when the extension popup opens.
When you open the extension popup, it requests your current IP details from ip-api.com over cleartext HTTP and displays derived location, ISP, timezone, currency, and VPN/mobile/hosting flags. The same popup also sends a cleartext HTTP usage beacon to stat.goodextensions.mooo.com, which reveals your source IP address and that the popup was opened.

Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 47k+ users between them. 2 of them carry a finding.
Shared hosts - 3 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed VPN IP Checker contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
