ProxyNest Privacy Policy

ProxyNest is a Chrome extension that manages and switches the proxy servers you add to it.

What stays in your browser

Your proxies (addresses, usernames and passwords), groups, per-site rules, settings and check results are stored only in your browser with chrome.storage.local. ProxyNest has no server and no account. We do not collect, sell or share your browsing history, and there are no analytics or ads.

Proxy logins

When a proxy you added asks for a login, ProxyNest answers with the username and password you saved for that proxy. They are sent only to that proxy server.

Services contacted when you run a check

Checks run only when you press Check, import with “Check after import” on, or run the leak test:

• api.ipify.org — returns the public IP address a request comes from (through the proxy being checked, or directly for “your real IP”).
• get.geojs.io, falling back to ipwho.is — look up country, city, ISP and time zone of that IP address. Only the IP address is sent. Results are cached in your browser for 3 days.
• proxynest.pages.dev/rtc.html and Google’s public STUN server (stun.l.google.com) — the leak test loads this page in a hidden frame to see which addresses WebRTC exposes to websites. The page does not store or send the result anywhere except back to the extension.

Browser settings ProxyNest changes

ProxyNest sets Chrome’s proxy settings for your profile and, if you choose, Chrome’s WebRTC IP handling policy. Choosing “Direct”, disabling or uninstalling the extension returns them to normal.

License keys and payments

ProxyNest Pro is sold through Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record, which collects your email and payment details at checkout under its own privacy policy. When you paste a license key, ProxyNest sends it to api.lemonsqueezy.com to activate and periodically validate it, and stores the key, plan name and purchase email in your browser. The start date of the 7-day free trial is saved in Chrome sync storage so reinstalling does not reset it.

Removing your data

Delete proxies in the manager, use “Remove key from this browser” under Plan, or uninstall the extension to delete everything it stored.
