Beware of Proxy Sites

It is usually seen that in school, colleges, universities and companies some websites are blocked, but people use proxy sites as an alternative.

I recommend Don't prefer proxy to login into your precious accounts like gmail, hotmail,yahoo and other mailing sites. Moreover never prefer proxy to login into your bank accounts and other similar sites, where you login and provide you secret credentials.

So here is reason why not prefer proxy ?

First of all, majority of the proxy sites are not safe. The traffic passing from these proxy servers can be easily sniffed by hackers on network. Mainly these proxy sites are not SSL encrypted. They don't provide the security. Many times they can lead you to fake pages and you can get hacked. Moreover if you are using multiple proxies then you are getting yourself more in danger. This is also a reason why many email id get hacked in schools, colleges and universities. Students(victim) are not aware about this fact and then after getting hacked they scream here and there plz help my email is hacked.

Not all proxy sites are bad but usually the proxy sites that are free are evil.

These proxy sites contains many advertisements on their webpage that can lure victim to other webpages and later hack your account, or bank credentials. Even sometimes when you click on that advertisements a virus, malware or spyware gets download on your system and you accidentally install it on your machine, and your machine gets infected.

Even sometimes these proxy sites logs your email that can be sold to advertising companies, that later sends you spams about their products.

For example this spam is very common: Advertisement about some medicines to increase ur sex potential etc.

So when to use proxy sites ?

So I recommend you people to use proxy to view videos on youtube, download movies, download software, download videos, to access warez sites, underground sites, and all that stuff, where you don't require to login. Websites like youtube, warez sites, underground sites, hacking related sites are also blocked in schools, colleges and many more places.
