How Does Using a Proxy Affect HTTPS Encryption and Security?

Yo, you’re on the right track. HTTPS and proxy can work together, but only if the proxy is trustworthy. If it’s not, it could try to mess with your SSL/TLS handshake, like you said.

I’d suggest using a proxy that supports HTTPS tunneling. That way, your data stays encrypted end-to-end. Tools like Burp Suite can help you test your setup and make sure everything’s secure.

Keep it safe!
