What our analysis found
Flow VPN - Fast Global Internet from FlowVPN.com, used by 3,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in May 2026.
Analyst notes
The code is a complete, readable VPN proxy client: it derives all behaviour from chrome.proxy (:491-514 sets fixed_servers HTTPS host:110), supplies RADIUS credentials only to proxy auth challenges (:_getAuthResult returns {} unless details.isProxy), and its only network destinations are [domain withheld], getProxyServersEnc.php and captchaAsync.php (:7-8,:1226) carrying only the the user typed into the login form - matching the CWS-disclosed categories for a 7-day-trial VPN with an advertised mirror domain ([domain withheld]). Tab URLs are read (:321-331) but only flow into extractHostname ->, never into FVApi or the fvFetch relay, and there are no content_scripts and no externally_connectable, so the unauthenticated fvFetch relay (:561) is reachable only from the extension's own pages. The 'malicious' signals are circular rather than corroborating: the publisher has zero other extensions under leave-one-out so its malicious flag can only derive from this extension's own label, the permhash cluster's malware count IS this version, and chrome-stats cites a clipboard permission present in neither manifest plus 'removed-from-store' while status is active. Withholding 'false_positive' only because jquery-3.4.1. is loaded by both credential-handling pages (:7,:8) and is absent from the bundle, so a trojaned library cannot be excluded by reading - though the manifest CSP restricts to [domain withheld] and [domain withheld], leaving such a payload nowhere to egress. Manifest 'mismatch' is a reduction, not an escalation: bundled MV3 drops unlimitedStorage and replaces webRequestBlocking with the narrower webRequestAuthProvider (documented at:637), so the MV2 listing snapshot is simply stale. Hygiene only, not findings: the shared-secret PSK is hardcoded at:6, fvpn() (:939) is a ROT-13-class cipher used to store the RADIUS password at rest, the server returns the plaintext account password into storage (:536), and encrypted credentials are mirrored into chrome.storage.sync.
