Do you know the risks of free SOCKS5 proxy?

You know the old saying "you get what you pay for"? Well, using one of the many free proxy server services can be quite risky, even one that uses an ad-based revenue model.

Free usually means they don't invest heavily in backend hardware or encryption. You may see performance issues and potential data security issues. If you find a completely "free" proxy server, proceed with caution. Some of them just want to steal your credit card number.

No encryption: If you use a proxy server without encryption, you might as well not use a proxy server. No encryption means you send the request in plain text. Anyone listening can extract usernames and passwords and account information very easily. Make sure any proxy server you use offers full encryption.

Browsing history: The proxy server may store your original IP address and web request information locally unencrypted. Make sure to check if your proxy server records and saves this data - and what retention or law enforcement cooperation policies they follow.

If you want to use a proxy server to protect your privacy, but the provider just records and sells your data, you may not get the expected value of the service.

Therefore, it is especially important to choose a good proxy. Pia S5 is safe and stable.
