If you connect through a proxy and log into neopets will anyone who uses that proxy be able to use your account? Will the people that own the proxy be able to see your login information?
A proxy is not like a keylogger, a proxy makes it so you enter a site name and go to it, it hides your IP, go to something like what-my-ip.org and its says for me I'm in Richmond, VA, blah blah, so I used a proxy, proxy24.org and it said Chicago, IL! I can't really explain it in detail because I am not that smart with that sort of thing, but it is a public thing, or think of it as a portal you go through it and you are different, but the portal itself does not record your actions while you are through it... Maybe thats helps?
There are proxies out there that intentionally contain keyloggers. Stick with popular and reputable ones, and you should be safe. This is the path of information sent through a proxy: Your Computer ---> Proxy ---> Website The proxy intercepts the data being sent to and from your computer and forwards it, thereby hiding your IP address when a request is sent to the actual site.
wow i never knew proxy culd be "bugged". where can i find reputable proxies? how do i know if a proxy is reputable or not?
You could search around google for a reputable one, or you could buy one, which probably would be the safest route.
The safest route would be to make one, which I can do, its annoying though,I also am good at making phishing sites but that s besides the point. If you want a safe proxy look up a tut on how to MAKE ON YOURSELF... lol
It kinda defeats the purpose of using a proxy if you're the only one using it... If they see that there's only 1-2 accounts from an IP address, regardless of whether or not its the IP of you're actual computer, they can still chain-ice you. Its better to use a popular public proxy as it generates many different users and thus they can't chain-ice.
