Many free proxies are hosted by hackers to intercept data. Never enter sensitive information (passwords, credit card info) while connected to a random free proxy.

Given the nature of some proxy services, be cautious about the privacy of your data and the potential for malware.

Embrace proxy downloads for travel. Download the 720p or 1080p version of Netflix shows, not the "High" quality. You will not notice the difference on a phone or 11-inch tablet.
