User reviews

This Firefox add-on functions primarily as a tool for finding and downloading OpenVPN server configuration files, rather than being a VPN service itself. Users who understand OpenVPN find it handy and appreciate its utility. However, confusion arises because it does not provide a VPN directly, leading some to deem it non-functional. The add-on mainly offers servers in Asia, America, and Russia, with poor EU support. Users also report occasional non-functionality and missing user interface elements, but overall it is recognized as a useful resource for OpenVPN configurations.

Pros

Provides easy access to OpenVPN server configuration files.
Works well for quickly downloading various OpenVPN configs.
Useful for users who understand how to use OpenVPN clients with config files.
Received thanks and positive comments for being a much-needed add-on.

Cons

Not a VPN service itself, only a server config finder, which confuses some users.
Limited geographical server availability: mostly Asia, America, and Russia; doesn't work well in the EU.
Some users report it doesn't work or fails to find expected content.
No visible panel or user interface feature as rumored, leading to confusion.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Free OpenVPN Server Finder requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low Request access to the following domains: {{requestedDomains}}

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Free OpenVPN Server Finder is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
