I encountered a front-page thread that claimed that Twitter has made a proxy server available for Nigerians. This simply not true.

There's no such thing as a Twitter proxy server. Any working proxy can be inserted and used in the relevant interface in Twitter App.

People need to be careful though. If a malicious person or an organization such ad DSS owns the server address he provided in that post, they can sniff your traffic, and therefore parse your data. That means read your messages and other data. Because your originating IP is thus identified, so do your identity. I'd advise that information be discarded

I will probably recommend the solution shown over a VPN but only because of ease of use. Unlike a VPN, a simple proxy server does not provide the added security of data encryption and cascading.

If you chose to go this way, please source your own proxy yourself. A simple google search will give you tons of free proxies. You can also purchase high-quality proxies for as little as a dollar or less.

mynd44, lalasticlala, this can help those who have been trapped by the said thread. You may elect to elevate this thread's exposure.

I'd recommend that you don't compromise on security. If you want to use proxies, you have to use proxies you have already trusted. There are a lot of proxies that cheat users. For example, you fill in all the data, but it turns out that you do not receive any information. The anonymity is lost. First, read reviews of known proxies, find out about your friends' experiences with them. I use https://proxyfan.com/storm-proxies-review/, and I had no problems with it. You should also take some time to get the information about how to set up a proxy correctly. You may have some issues with anonymity because of the wrong proxy settings.
