Is TorGuard VPN Extension safe?
TorGuard VPN Extension loads its proxy server list over HTTP and uses the selected entry for proxied browsing.
The extension downloads its proxy server list from 143.110.208.40 over cleartext HTTP and stores that list locally. When a user connects, the selected server controls the proxy host and port used for browser traffic, and saved TorGuard credentials are supplied for proxy authentication. It also downloads a cleartext blocklist from the same host that can cancel matching requests while the proxy feature is active.
