XP_2600 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Lately we had such news around:http://www.buzzfeed.com/sheerafrenkel/egypt-begins-surveillance-of-facebook-twitter-and-skype-on-u#3nzxsadWhat do you think guys? can a web proxy make things little bit more secure? is there any ssl or https or encrypted session with a proxy can avoid such hassle ?

Nick H. Supervisor Posted September 19, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted September 19, 2014 A proxy can only do so much. I can use something like Tor to make myself "anonymous," but there's no point if I'm then going to log in to my Facebook and like a political statement. From reading through the article that would be the main issue, trying to remain anonymous in order for your voice to be heard, as contradictory as that may sound.

Anibal P Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 If you're seriously worried about security then you'd never use and Social sites, they're a treasure trove of data and the easiest vector to your really private data on your computer If you really want the illusion of privacy then Tor and Proxies are the way to go, maybe even a VPN account, that might be the best real solution, but I wouldn't trust any "free" service, if they exist, got to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
