Thanks for the confirmation. Indeed, Gwene is a great and very
convenient service. Extremely easy to use and free of charge.
The issues of using a proxy are irrelevant in my current use case, but
they exist in more paranoic situations:
- Privacy: I need to share with a 3rd party which feeds I'm reading.
- Authenticity and Confidentiality: I'm losing the ability to verify
certificates of SSL-protected Atom feeds (many of them are). There's
no end-to-end encryption, if the proxy is hijacked, it can suppress
articles, or feed me fake news.
- Identity: I shouldn't use that services to read feeds which need
user authentication.
None of these concerns bothers me for the Atom feeds I read right now,
so I guess I'll just continue to use Gwene - with compliments to its
provider :)
