Here is something copied and pasted from the tor-proxy FAQ.
......
I am visiting a secure Website ( https:// ) with your service, and the
Fingerprint is wrong!
If you are accessing a webpage through this service, connection is done between
the server of the webpage you want to visit, and this server. Thats why the
secured connection is established between this two servers, and not between you
and the server of the webpage. Anyhow the content will not be readable when it
is transferred to you, because the connection between you and this service is
also secured. But it uses a different key than the website you like to visit.
Thats why the fingerprints differ.
But be aware, that we theoretical could spy on the content if we want to. Of
course we will never do so! But you should know that it is possible, and that
is why you should not transfer high sensitive data over this service (for
example credit card or online-banking PIN and TAN).
