I’m out of the country and half.com is banned for some odd reason. But I need to order textbooks now, because I won’t have time once I return home. So I need to access the site through a proxy server. Is it safe for me to put in all my credit information?

    Thumbs up. Good question.

  • Stevie:

    I wouldn’t use a proxy server! Just incase, some proxies can store all your data in a database everytime you load a page. Your really relying on the webmaster for the website then not to use your card information if they happened to come across it.

    If you have to, use a proxy server that is very very popular and reliable.

    Hope this helps!

    Don’t use a proxy, they are very dangerous. See the link below.
