Utilizing a free proxy through software tools
It’s generally fine to use a free proxy service like Proxynova for your needs. There are no major risks if you follow proper setup and usage guidelines. To verify the proxy is working, you can test connectivity from your EC2 instance or check if services you rely on respond correctly through it.
You can adjust proxy configurations through the window settings, confirm them using a traceroute, and ensure a strong password is used. Otherwise, no further problems will appear once connected via VPN, as it will function similarly to any other VPN service based on your data center location.
Sure, that's a good alternative to consider. I hadn't thought about it before. I attempted to set up my Private Internet Access Proxy in the software proxy settings (FollowLiker), but it didn't work. I might try using the proxy on the VPS instead.
