Dangers of a Proxy

Proxy servers store users' IP addresses along with their web request data. Some proxies do not encrypt this information and, depending on the service, may even sell the data to other parties, once again putting users at risk of data breaches. There's also the risk of malware and cookie theft, which means someone could get access to your passwords and important data. Some free proxy servers are set up to be a front for data mining and identity theft. If you have to use a free web proxy, never submit any personal information through it. It's best to imagine a hacker reading every piece of information you send over a free proxy server. If this makes you uneasy about using the server, it's best to stay well away!
