How Does Using a Proxy Affect HTTPS Encryption and Security?

18 Replies, 2145 Views

Honestly, HTTPS and proxy is a tricky combo. The proxy can’t read your encrypted data, but it can still see where you’re going. If the proxy is bad, it could try to downgrade your connection or something.

I’d recommend using a tool like Fiddler to monitor your traffic and make sure nothing fishy is happening. Also, avoid free proxies—they’re usually not worth the risk.

Good luck!
