Bypass Paywall Clean -call home

Having looked at various browsers and what calls they make, I noticed on Firefox and other android browsers that when Bypass Paywall Clean is installed from main source: https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean

It makes calls to gitflic.ru quite often wether using a bypass website or not.

Anyone know on what the calls are about and if they are legitimate and or what telemetry is being shared?

Yep, looks like this has the data for each site and what part to remove to bypass, so it would need frequent updates.

Looks quite possible. It does connect every time you visit a site on the bypass list but not viewing other sites.
