Show HN: I built a free VPN that runs directly in Chrome

2 points| hritik7742 | 4 months ago |chromewebstore.google.com

I built a lightweight VPN Chrome extension called QuickVPN Proxy that connects instantly without signup or configuration.

I made it because I was frustrated with VPN apps that require accounts, slow down the browser, or log user data. QuickVPN runs entirely in your browser and connects with one click.

Is this running thru your own servers you control? What country are they based in? What is the pricing after 15min? And what methods of payments do you accept?

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.

Webshare.io log everything they can, as expected (https://www.webshare.io/privacy-policy)

So what am I doing wrong in this? Like, what's the issue?
