Aimfox — FAQ
Is Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager safe to use on LinkedIn?
Our static code audit rates Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager HIGH risk. Its extension reads your LinkedIn session cookie and sends it to app.aimfox.com / app.aimfox.dev (also lnconnect.me) via externally_connectable bridge, so your account can be operated from another IP — one of LinkedIn's strongest ban signals, and its ID is on LinkedIn's detection list. No automation tool is ban-proof, and this one exposes a large detection surface.
Does LinkedIn detect Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager?
Yes. Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager's extension ID is on LinkedIn's active extension-detection (AED) list, so LinkedIn's page code probes for it on every visit (it requests the file tabs/auth-page.html) — LinkedIn knows the extension is installed before you do anything.
Can Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager get my LinkedIn account banned or restricted?
Detection isn't an instant ban — LinkedIn scores accounts on many cumulative signals. But Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager stacks a known extension ID on LinkedIn's list, code injected into the page, your session running from a foreign IP, and independent reviews report restrictions and permanent bans for Chrome-extension automators. Safe daily limits reduce the behavioral risk but can't offset a detectable architecture.
Does Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager have access to my LinkedIn account?
Yes. Its extension reads your li_at session cookie and sends it to app.aimfox.com / app.aimfox.dev (also lnconnect.me) via externally_connectable bridge, so the vendor can act as your LinkedIn account from their own servers — even with your browser closed.
How does Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager work — is it a Chrome extension or a cloud tool?
Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager is a extension (cloud-bridge / session-upload via external-message bridge): the Chrome extension bridges your session to the vendor's cloud, which runs the automation server-side.
What is a safer alternative to Aimfox - Linkedin Session Manager?
A standalone desktop app such as Linked Helper removes the two extension-specific detection surfaces: there is no Chrome-Store ID for LinkedIn's AED scanner to probe and nothing injected into the page for its DOM scan, and your session never leaves your machine. No tool is unbannable, but the surface it exposes is far smaller.
