A simple explanation of why not to use proxies provided here
When you tell your computer to connect through a proxy, it sends all data to the proxy server first and from there, the proxy server sends it where it needs to go. Anything the proxy connects to, such as the SRO servers, thinks the data originated from wherever the proxy server is based. Any idiot can set up his computer as a proxy, post the IP here, and record everyone's encrypted passwords when they log into SRO, decrypt them, and take all their stuff. That's why not to use them. Put "free proxy servers" into google instead, those are a bit safer (but never, ever log into your bank's online banking section or buy anything with a credit card over a proxy not owned by your ISP)
