Is Bypass paywall clean safe?
Just started using paywall bypass plugin - BPC. Honestly, love it so far. I found that both their github and gitlab are blocked. I found that tool at gitflic.ru
Never, used this repository or the extension before. Curious, if people from the community use it and how secure they would consider this?

I'm not sure where updates are pulled from once it's installed.

It used to be on the official Firefox Extensions repository until DMCA takedown notices made them take it down.

It moved to gitflic.ru not because it's sketchy, but because of copyright enforcement.
It's kind of like sci-hub, in a way, it can only actually survive in a country that doesn't respect the US copyright cabal.
That being said, I've never audited the code, but it's open source (MIT-license) and signed by Mozilla as noted on its gitflic page:

Edit:
or maybe I am completely wrong
