After getting the crash issue resolved (it is now fixed), I tested this to see how it behaves by using PCAPdroid. I also attempted to decrypt the traffic, to see what it sends.

This is the traffic analysis:

Type Port IP version Size Status
DNS 53 IPv4 Random >120 B Closed (Good)
TLS 443 IPv6 120 B Unreachable
HTTPS 443 IPv4 Usually 2.4 KB Error (Did not trust my decryption certificate)

It sends to a random list of hosts, all of which are listed here:

https://4chan.org

https://www.reddit.com

https://www.yahoo.com

https://www.cnn.com

https://pornhub.com

https://www.ebay.com

https://wikipedia.org

https://youtube.com

https://github.com

https://medium.com

https://thepiratebay.org

After digging through the code, here is the file with a list of hosts. It also seems to randomly generate user agents, which is good.

The developer blocked me from opening issues on all of his projects.

now that i see that list, the app became a lot less interesting :/

i used to use a firefox addOn that had the same function, but it created noise by "clicking" on random links starting from a user defined page

Mullvad VPN has DAITA which does something similar but more legit
