    Thumbs up The proxy server

    A proxy can be set up to work system-wide, so programs won’t be able to bypass it
    It’s the proxy that’s connecting to the server, not you, so your IP isn’t disclosed. It compresses your traffic to save some bandwidth and the cache files to give a little boost to the page at the loading times. Proxies block the malicious websites and strip ads from websites before they reach your computer, and also used not only for against filters, but also as a filter!
    Act as caching server to make you load a webpage faster.
    Disadvantage of Proxy Server:
    All data came through this server, if this server was compromised it’s mean that all user use the server has possibility information theft.
    If these proxies were located at Internet Service Provider, Campus and School and there’s a bad employee or staff inside, it’s also possible data theft happen. And sometimes this bad guy will know you more than yourself
    Conclusion

    So, if you want to use proxy make sure you use the trusted proxy. Usually user from China, some Arabic country, North Korea, etc they’re too desperate because of too many website blocked by their government firewall, so they forget to think about the security.
    NEVER log in account using HTTP (http://XYZ.com/login.php) when you’re using a proxy (especially unknown proxy server), and If there’s no choice to do that, don’t forget to change your password as soon as possible.
    Proxy server used by cracker to masking their ip address when performing the attack makes sure you didn’t fall into fake proxy trap because every proxy server habitually will record your real IP address.
    Be wise to use this proxy service and also be careful….keep your eyes open
