What does that even mean? This AI-coded extension uses a Cloudflare worker to generate API keys for the proxy service "webshare.io". It then uses the Chrome proxy API (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/p...) to set up a Webshare proxy server.
>or log user data
Webshare.io log everything they can, as expected (https://www.webshare.io/privacy-policy)
>QuickVPN runs entirely in your browser
Like I said: What do you mean with this? You did not build a "VPN" that runs in the browser. Your extension sets up a web proxy.
And worse:
>or log user data.
You're implying you're running some kind of "no log" service which is false.
Currently, I’m using a trusted and well-known third-party provider (Webshare.io) for the proxy network. They are a genuine and reputable service I’ve personally reviewed their platform, checked their privacy policy, and read user reviews before integrating them. I don’t believe they have any bad intentions or do anything suspicious with user data. They’re a legitimate company offering rotating proxies for developers and businesses.
The extension itself does not log, track, or store any user data. I don’t run any backend database or analytics system everything works locally in the browser. The proxy connection and rotation are handled directly between the user’s browser and the third-party proxy provider.
My main goal with QuickVPN is to offer a lightweight, one-click connection without signups or complicated setup. It’s meant for users who just want fast access to proxy connections directly in Chrome without installing software or paying for heavy VPN apps.
In the future, if I see good traction and more active users, I plan to set up my own proxy servers and manage the infrastructure myself. That way, I can ensure complete control, privacy, and logging transparency. Right now, I’m focusing on building a solid user base and gathering feedback.
