VPN Frontier — Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

VPN Frontier is a Chrome browser extension that blocks access to Russian domain zones based on IP geolocation. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how the extension works.

Data We Do NOT Collect

VPN Frontier does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data. Specifically:

• We do not collect your IP address
• We do not track your browsing history
• We do not use analytics or tracking tools
• We do not send any data to our servers (we don't have any)
• We do not share any information with third parties
• We do not use cookies

IP Geolocation Checks

To determine your country, VPN Frontier sends a request to one or more third-party IP geolocation APIs (such as ipapi.co, ipinfo.io, ifconfig.co, and others selected by the user). These requests are sent directly from your browser to the API provider. VPN Frontier does not proxy, store, or log these requests. The geolocation result (country code) is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API and is never transmitted elsewhere.

Local Data Storage

The following data is stored locally in your browser:

• Your settings (blocked zones, whitelist, selected providers, check frequency)
• Block history (URLs of blocked sites, stored on your device only)
• Block statistics (daily counts, top domains)
• Last IP check result (country code, timestamp)

All data is stored using Chrome's storage.local and storage.sync APIs. Synced data (settings) may be transmitted through your Google account if Chrome Sync is enabled — this is a Chrome feature, not controlled by VPN Frontier.

Permissions

VPN Frontier requires the following Chrome permissions:

• declarativeNetRequest — to block/redirect requests to Russian domains at the network level
• storage — to save your settings and block history locally
• webNavigation — to detect navigation to blocked domains
• tabs — to update the extension icon based on the current site
• alarms — for periodic IP checks
• notifications — to show alerts when VPN is detected or country changes
• contextMenus — for right-click menu options
• Host permissions for IP APIs — to check your country via geolocation services

Third-Party Services

VPN Frontier uses the following third-party IP geolocation APIs. Each has its own privacy policy:

• ipapi.co
• ipinfo.io
• ifconfig.co
• ip-api.com
• freeipapi.com
• ipwho.is
• ipdata.co
