Web Security Services

    Good evening, community, I send a big greeting to all of you and I hope that you have achieved your personal goals of the week as I always say the continuous duty and there is no rest to improve every day in the previous article that I wrote I had talked a bit about the differences between a Virus, Ransomware, and Malware since it is always good to clarify those doubts to have a more open and defined idea of how to deal with these situations, in this article I will talk about what is a proxy and its risks.

                                                                                          Proxy

    A Proxy is known as a computer capable of intermediating communication between other 2, the information is distributed between one computer and another, this information is intended for the target computer, commonly the use of a Proxy serves to be used under anonymity or practices so illegal but can also be used to access certain information that can not be viewed under the common IP of a connection of Internet service providers.

                                             The way to use a Proxy is based on the following way:

• Use and confuration of a dynamic Ip
• Domain configuration
• Final configuration of a server

There are other types of Proxy servers which are known in the following way:

• Web Proxy
• Inverse mode proxy
• NAT Proxy
• Open Proxy

    Once we have defined what a Proxy is now, we are going to talk about the risk of using a proxy server since this can often be the cause of problems that can seriously affect the use of the system or the server of a company or a user
The most frequent problems are the following:

• Any user of unknown origin such as cyber aggressors or hackers can access our network by tracking the Ip server and the mac user of our system through programs that run in the background online.
• The imminent risk of the Proxy server storing personal data from bank accounts, e-mail keys and other services.
• Compromise the information of the company by means of traces of each and every one of the activities carried out under the connection of the proxy server.
• Constant security failures in the proxy server that imply a risk of exposing the user and being detected by malicious programs that are active on the Web, such as Ransomwares and Malwares.
• Legal problems when jumping restrictions of websites and services, this is something that must be taken very seriously so as not to cause problems with the authorities due to the indiscriminate use of a proxy server.

    Now that the risks of using a Proxy server of unknown origin have been explained a few tips that can be used for their use where certain conditions or rules apply:

• Make defined use to restrict domains and websites of unknown origin.
• Increase traffic safety related to sites that may be considered dangerous or with malicious content.
• Increase the performance of the designated activities in the company of the frequently used websites saving the bandwidth.

    It is important to consult a service supplier of proxies of recognized companies in the market for business purposes that are oriented for certain activities and thus avoid short-term consequences that can seriously affect the information and data of a company in their daily activities.
