A concern for security #174

Open thebytehoarder opened 4 years ago

Hello, I have a question regarding how those proxies are found. Is there a fixed list of 7000 proxies which are being checked to see if they work? Or there's some other way of finding those proxies?

Are those proxies safe? Do they log incoming data's IP and contents? How's the anonymity level calculated? Have you ever had issues with getting your information stolen due to those proxies?

Thank you

@d4ve02 Read the readme, all the info is there. In short: it dynamically gathering free proxies, also checks with your desired settings; they are as safe as any free public proxy.
