Are Open Proxy Servers Still Reliable for Privacy and Security? or How Risky Is It to Use an Open Pro

Open proxies are a gamble, no doubt. Sure, they hide your IP, but who’s to say the operator isn’t logging everything?

I’d avoid ‘em for anything sensitive. If you really need anonymity, try Tor or a paid VPN like Mullvad. At least those have reputations to uphold.

And yeah, free open proxy servers? Probably not run out of the goodness of someone’s heart. More like a data honeypot.
