Are we allowed to use proxies when accessing Saidit?

there are many levels to privacy, the highest being the safest setting on tor (edit on a open-sourced OS under strong code review, like freebsd). there's this site that tells you how unique your electronic fingerprint is using the browser you're currently using. in other words, vpns don't really do that much. if you want to evade from an organization, it might help. if your vpn is provided by an organization that's good at computer security, that might help too. but if you just got one of those vpns recommended by youtubers, you can't prevent the government from tracking you. for more detail, see these two links:
btw tor is made by the us navy if i recall correctly so american government is kinda an exception to tor tracking...though they might allow perfect privacy and anonymity because it's really a double-edged sword.

Indeed, as a quantum computer engineer and scientist, I can tell we know what we are doing...
But I don't need that extreme level of "privacy". I just needed something that won't display our immediate location, and a self hosted proxy is all I need.
I may still thank you for your answer!

the tor browser is nice for privacy ( https://www.torproject.org/ ), it is like using three vpn's... you can use tor browser to access saidit.net, when you use tor to access saidit.net, the browser goes thru something like three intermediate servers before accessing saidit, which means that saidit does not get to know my ip address.
if you want to make tor more secure, there are ways to tell it to not allow javascript, which makes some websites unusable, but anyways..
tor also has the ability to access the dot onion webpage dns system..
it costs nothing to register a "dot onion" url.
it costs nothing to host a "dot onion" site on your local computer.
i actually use the hotspot wifi on my laptop to host my dot onion site, which can only be accessed using the tor browser.
