Can Using a Proxy Give You a Virus? How to Check Before Using

A proxy itself is not a virus. The risk comes from untrustworthy providers.

How to Check

1. Check IP reputation via AbuseIPDB, MXToolbox
2. Check DNS leak at dnsleaktest.com
3. Check WebRTC leak at browserleaks.com/webrtc
4. Never log into important accounts through free proxies
