EditTips

  • An IP address is not like a real address: knowing it won't help any robber (real life) /hacker (on the internet) to steal something from you.
  • When you use a proxy, you deliberately choose to trust the proxy owner: (s)he can log, store and save anything that is passing through.
  • A proxy is generally useful to access a website from another country or to encrypt things you don't want your local administrator to see (if used at work, school, etc.). In this case, the proxy should allow you to encrypt the data from and to you computer. However, by doing so, you might break a number of laws and/or school/workplace rules.

EditWarnings

  • The US Computer Fraud & Abuse Act and the EU Cybercrime convention (2001) both clearly define it as a crime to use an open proxy. Such proxies are as good as always hacker or misconfigured computers but using a not protected proxy does not make that legal.
  • Proxies are controlled by some random unknown people: if you use a proxy, keep in mind that the proxy owner can log everything you are doing, hijack website sessions, catch credit card numbers, etc.
  • Keep in mind that IP addresses are only addresses: they are utterly useless to any site owner and hackers. On the other hand, open proxies are very useful to them: they can capture any session cookie and credentials that are going through them.
