Is it illegal to use a proxy chain in the UK?
<p>As you are all aware about the whole Facebook fiasco.... I am now wanting to be as anonymous as I can online, one method I found was to use a proxy chain. I am just wondering if it is legal in the UK before I try to set one up :) Bearing in mind that this will not be used for any illegal purposes such as: hacking, torrenting files illegally, streaming films illegally</p>

<p>It's purely for normal web browsing but hopefully more secure</p>

<p>Furthermore if it’s like this hen it’s very similar to using a tor browser or onion tor?</p>

<p>Another thing I have heard is that by using a tool like this your ISP is likely to cut/slow down your internet, any truth to this?</p>

<p>No, it is not illegal in UK to use proxies.</p>

<p>No, it is not like the tor concept.</p>

<p>No, the ISP does not slow you down (they mostly throttle detectable p2p connections), but if you use public proxies, many of them will be unacceptably slow.</p>

<p>Note: for things like facebook, a proxy is utterly useless. You already donated your private data to them, there's nothing to hide.</p>
