Web proxies provide anonymity, censorship circumvention, etc. Many of these web proxies are of charge despite offering valuable services to thousand of users. We suspect that these web proxies might be performing malicious activities, such as content injection or user tracking, to fund their service. We thus built a measurement platform that discovers proxies via web crawling, and tests each proxy to assess its performance and behavior. We collect data daily and make it available at this https URL We here present an analysis of one week worth of data spanning 70,000 HTTP proxies. Our analysis shows that proxies are free for a reason. |
