Waalaxy — FAQ
Is Waalaxy safe to use on LinkedIn?
Our static code audit rates Waalaxy HIGH risk. Its extension reads your LinkedIn session cookie and sends it to stargate.prod.aws.waalaxy.com, 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 Waalaxy?
Yes. Waalaxy'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 assets/16x16.png) — LinkedIn knows the extension is installed before you do anything.
Can Waalaxy get my LinkedIn account banned or restricted?
Detection isn't an instant ban — LinkedIn scores accounts on many cumulative signals. But Waalaxy stacks a known extension ID on LinkedIn's list, code injected into the page, programmatic (isTrusted:false) clicks, your session running from a foreign IP, blocked LinkedIn telemetry, 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 Waalaxy have access to my LinkedIn account?
Yes. Its extension reads your li_at session cookie and sends it to stargate.prod.aws.waalaxy.com, so the vendor can act as your LinkedIn account from their own servers — even with your browser closed.
How does Waalaxy work — is it a Chrome extension or a cloud tool?
Waalaxy is a cloud-bridge (hybrid local+cloud): the Chrome extension bridges your session to the vendor's cloud, which runs the automation server-side.
What is a safer alternative to Waalaxy?
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.
