A proxy can (technically) push virtually anything by altering the
response. In most cases, your browser does not know or care what the
unmodified response looks like. As an extreme example, a proxy can
serve you sex.com when you request ptt-post.nl.

Whether it is polite/legal to do depends on the environment.
