How Does Using a Proxy Affect HTTPS Encryption and Security?

18 Replies, 2144 Views

Yo, you’re spot on about HTTPS and proxy working together but needing trust in the proxy. If the proxy is legit, it won’t mess with your encryption. But yeah, shady proxies? Big no-no.

I’d recommend using tools like Wireshark to check if your proxy is messing with the SSL/TLS handshake. Also, stick to well-known proxies like Squid or Nginx if you’re setting one up yourself.

Stay safe out there!
