In code review (v4.1.4)

Our reviewer read version 4.1.4 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Free VPN Proxy - 1VPN, used by 1,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in July 2026.

The extension implements a VPN proxy service using necessary permissions (proxy, webRequest, scripting) and sends authentication and configuration data to its own domains ( and related). All data flows align with the CWS-disclosed category of Authentication Information. No third-party exfiltration or unauthorized behavior detected. The ML model likely overfits on permission pattern and minified code structure typical of a VPN extension.
