What This Extension Does
Free Vpn Proxy 1vpn is a browser extension that claims to provide secure, private internet browsing by routing traffic through VPN servers. It aims to protect users from tracking, censorship, and geo-restrictions while offering unlimited bandwidth and fast speeds. The extension targets individuals seeking online privacy and access to restricted content.
Permissions Explained
- activeTabexpected: Allows the extension to read and modify the current tab's content when it is active, such as injecting scripts or reading page data.
Technical: Uses Chrome'stabsAPI; can access DOM of the active tab. Risk: Potential for XSS if used inappropriately with user input. - proxyexpected: Enables the extension to configure proxy settings, which is necessary for routing internet traffic through VPN servers.
Technical: Uses Chrome'sproxyAPI; allows full control over network requests. Risk: If misused, can redirect all traffic or intercept data without user knowledge. - storageexpected: Allows the extension to store and retrieve data locally on your device, such as settings or preferences.
Technical: Uses Chrome'sstorageAPI; can persist user configuration. Risk: If compromised, could expose sensitive metadata or tracking identifiers. - webRequestexpected: Gives the extension control over how network requests are handled, including modifying headers and blocking content.
Technical: Uses Chrome'swebRequestAPI; allows deep inspection/modification of HTTP traffic. Risk: Can be used to monitor or alter data in transit unless properly secured. - privacyexpected: Enables the extension to access and modify privacy-related settings, such as disabling WebRTC leak protection.
Technical: Uses Chrome'sprivacyAPI; can disable features like WebRTC or change default search engines. Risk: Can undermine user security if misused (e.g., re-enabling leaks). - alarmsexpected: Allows the extension to schedule background tasks at specific intervals, such as refreshing settings or checking for updates.
Technical: Uses Chrome'salarmsAPI; enables periodic execution of code. Risk: Minimal unless used maliciously to perform unauthorized actions. - managementcheck this: Permits the extension to manage other extensions, including installing or uninstalling them.
Technical: Uses Chrome'smanagementAPI; allows full control over installed extensions. Risk: High risk if misused for unauthorized extension manipulation or removal of security tools. ⚠ 1 - scriptingexpected: Enables the extension to inject scripts into web pages, which is needed for modifying page behavior or content.
Technical: Uses Chrome'sscriptingAPI; allows injection of JavaScript into tabs. Risk: Can be used to execute arbitrary code on visited sites if not properly sandboxed. - webNavigationexpected: Allows the extension to monitor navigation events, such as when a user navigates between pages or starts loading content.
Technical: Uses Chrome'swebNavigationAPI; provides insight into browsing behavior. Risk: Can track user activity across sites if misused for surveillance purposes. - webRequestAuthProviderexpected: Enables the extension to handle authentication challenges during web requests, such as proxy login prompts.
Technical: Uses Chrome'swebRequestAuthProviderAPI; allows handling of HTTP auth flows. Risk: Can be exploited if used in conjunction with malicious proxies or credential harvesting. - <all_urls>check this: Grants the extension access to all websites, meaning it can read and modify content on any page you visit.
Technical: Broad host permission; allows unrestricted access to network requests. Risk: Enables potential for data exfiltration or manipulation of sensitive pages (e.g., banking, social media). ⚠ 1
Your Data
The extension accesses and sends user data to several domains including its own servers and third-party services like ReactJS and Trustpilot. It appears to collect browsing behavior, possibly location data, and potentially personal identifiers.
Technical Details
Network activity includes calls to: www.w3.org (likely for standards validation), 1vpn.org (primary domain), reactjs.org (possibly for UI rendering or analytics), 1vpn.website (secondary site), play.google.com (for app store links), trustpilot.com (feedback platform). Data types may include cookies, tokens, keystrokes, and page content. No Content Security Policy is enforced.
Code Findings
The extension uses innerHTML to dynamically insert HTML into web pages, which can be dangerous if not handled carefully.
Technical: Code pattern involves assigning dynamic strings directly to innerHTML. This is a known XSS vector if user input isn't sanitized. File location: likely in content script or background worker.
💡 Commonly used for rendering UI elements or injecting scripts into pages, but must be done securely with proper sanitization.
The extension uses obfuscated strings to hide potentially malicious code from casual inspection.
Technical: Uses String.fromCharCode() to encode parts of scripts or URLs. This is a common technique for evading static analysis and making code harder to understand at first glance.
💡 Used in legitimate extensions to protect intellectual property or reduce visibility of internal logic, but can also mask harmful behavior.
The extension attempts to access the user's physical location via HTML5 Geolocation API.
Technical: Code accesses navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() or similar methods. This is flagged as high risk because it can be used for tracking users even when they believe they're anonymous.
💡 Used in legitimate extensions to provide geolocation-based services (e.g., local weather, location-aware ads).
The extension runs across every website you visit due to its broad permissions.
Technical: Due to <all_urls> permission, the extension has access to all domains and can potentially intercept or modify traffic from any site. This increases attack surface significantly.
💡 Required for extensions that need to function globally (e.g., ad blockers), but should be justified by clear use cases.
The extension uses the proxy API, which gives it full control over how network traffic is routed.
Technical: Uses chrome.proxy APIs to configure system-wide or per-tab proxies. If misconfigured, this can route all traffic through untrusted servers without user consent.
💡 Essential for VPN extensions; however, misuse could lead to man-in-the-middle attacks or data interception.
The extension has permission to manage other browser extensions — including installing and removing them.
Technical: Uses chrome.management API, which allows full control over installed extensions. This is a high-risk capability if misused for unauthorized actions or removal of security tools.
💡 Used in some advanced management tools or parental controls; however, it's rarely needed by standard privacy extensions.
Free Vpn Proxy 1vpn is a browser extension that claims to offer secure and private browsing through its VPN functionality. However, several concerning permissions — particularly <all_urls>, management access, and proxy control — raise significant risks related to data exposure and potential misuse of user privacy. While some behaviors align with typical VPN extensions, others like obfuscation techniques and broad host access suggest possible hidden or unintended behavior. Users should exercise caution when using this extension unless they fully trust its developer and have verified the codebase.
