Piligrim — Free Gamified VPN Chrome extension security report

═══ Piligrim ═══ A free VPN for the modern wanderer. The open web is a road. Every tab is a journey across borders. Every Sanctum is a country where you can rest, unseen. Every Step earned is a mile already walked. ◆ WHAT PILIGRIM IS Piligrim is a browser-based VPN that routes your traffic through residential proxies in 20+ countries — what we call Sanctums. Pick where you want to appear from, embark in one click, and the open web sees you arriving from there. The twist: instead of charging you, we let you earn. While Piligrim is on, we quietly replace a small number of display ads on the sites you visit (max 3 per page). Each ad you actually see — measured against the industry-standard viewability bar — credits 1 to 10 MB of premium VPN traffic to your wallet, depending on the tier of your country. ◆ TWO WALLETS, ONE EXTENSION ▸ Free quota — Datacenter VPN 10 GB on install. 1 GB more every 24 hours, claimable in one tap. Stacks forever, never expires. Fast and broadly compatible. ▸ Steps — Residential VPN Earned from displayed ads. Routed through real consumer-ISP residential IPs — virtually indistinguishable from any other home internet. Great when datacenter ranges get blocked (streaming, banking, ticket sites). Both stack. Both are yours forever. The only way the balance ever drops is if you spend it on actual traffic. ◆ THE JOURNEY Piligrim borrows its language from old pilgrimages on purpose. • Embark / Return — start or stop the VPN • Sanctum — a country you can route through • Step — 1 MB of premium VPN traffic • Path — the tier of your country (Bronze · Copper · Silver · Gold) It's not just decoration. We're building a journey, not a utility. Daily rituals, character progression, milestones — the gamification layer turns staying private into something you'd actually return to. ◆ PRIVACY, PLAINLY What we do NOT collect: – Page URLs, query parameters, content, cookies, forms – Personal info (no name, email, phone, account required) – Cross-site behavior, fingerprinting, ad-tech identifiers What we DO store, transparently: – An anonymous install ID generated locally – Your country (for ad rates) – Bare domain names of pages visited while VPN is on – Ad-view events you generate, signed cryptographically That's the entire list. Four data points. Enforced in code via ECDSA signing, sandboxed iframes, and MV3 declarative blocking — not just promised in a paragraph of policy. Full Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are accessible from the extension popup's About panel. GDPR · UK GDPR · CCPA · BVI Data Protection Act 2021 compliant. You can revoke everything by uninstalling — there is no server-side handle on your identity beyond what the install gave us. ◆ WHO PILIGRIM IS NOT FOR Piligrim is a casual-use, free VPN. It is not a privacy weapon. If you need protection adequate for high-stakes situations — journalism in authoritarian regimes, whistleblowing, evading state surveillance — please use a paid commercial VPN designed for that purpose. Piligrim is a road, not a fortress. ◆ HOW IT WORKS Piligrim routes your traffic through a partner residential proxy network. On sites that work with our ad partners, a small number of display ads are shown by Piligrim instead of going through the publisher's usual ad chain. Premium news publishers and the ad networks' own properties are never modified. Each displayed ad you actually see — viewable for at least 1 second at ≥50% of the slot in viewport — credits Steps to your wallet via a cryptographically signed receipt. The signature can't be forged by a bot; we verify every claim server-side. ◆ THE PILIGRIM SPIRIT There's a quiet idea behind all this. The open web used to be a place you travelled to. You'd visit a forum, a stranger's blog, a homepage that loaded slowly because someone made it. Then it became a corridor of extraction — ads, trackers, prompts, walled gardens, paywalls, dark patterns. Piligrim is an attempt to give a little of that road back. To make moving across the web feel like a journey again — one with a companion, a path, and a balance you carry forward instead of a bill that comes due. Walk slowly. The lamp on the staff is steady. ◆ INSTALL One click. Grant blessing on the consent screen. You start with 10 GB. Embark anywhere in 20+ countries. Earn as you go. Stop anytime by uninstalling. The road is open. ◆ ABOUT Piligrim is published by a BVI-incorporated company.
