Be very careful if what you are doing is against the law in your country.
(Or is going to have very serious consequences for you, especially if
people with a lot of resources will have incentive to try to connect you
to whatever you are doing through the proxies.)

The protection from proxies isn't guaranteed. They can be subject to orders
from law enforcement to track IPs. Traffic analysis can be used to connect
your IP address to that of the sites you are connecting to. Information
can leak in what you are doing with the network connection and provide a way
to connect you with what you did.

Note that using a proxy may draw attention to yourself. If there are only
a few people who might be doing whatever it is you are doing, being the
only one to use an anonymizing proxy might make it obvious you are the
one doing things.
