Is VPN Master - Free HTTP and SOCKS Proxies safe?
VPN Master routes all browser traffic through a random free public proxy fetched from third-party APIs.
When the user clicks to connect, the extension requests a random proxy from gimmeproxy.com or getproxylist.com and sets it as the browser's HTTP, HTTPS and FTP proxy. It then checks the connection via checkip.dyndns.org. The proxy operator is not vetted, so browsing traffic passes through whichever public server is returned.
