I'm sure I count for very little here, but I do know one or two things about internet security. Anyone concerned about their privacy or internet filtering should be using a proxy server of some kind. (I personally prefer Tor.)
But, with https://www.icmag.com no longer functional, even with its expired security certificate, anyone using a proxy server of any kind is at risk of exposing their passwords.
Here is one example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/09/10/misuse_of_tor_led_to_embassy_password_breach/
Unless you have explicit reason to trust the proxy service you are using, do not send passwords without using https. (Which means no anonymous login, which means your ISP can see what you're doing, which means your government can filter your internets, etc...)
Please, fix https on this site so that it is safer for all people to access.
