Alb Proxy

To configure a proxy on your MikroTik router, you need the Winbox software. The following steps must be done in the application: Open the "IP"-"WebProxy" sections. Check the box next to "Enabled". Enter the parameters of the proxy-server.

After that you have to specify the data of the proxy in the browser to be used. As an example, let's take Google Chrome. What you need to do:

Open the browser.
Click on the icon "?" in the upper right corner.
Go to "Settings".
Select the "Advanced" option.
Click the "System" tab.
Click on "Open proxy settings for your computer".
Click on "Network settings".
Activate the "Use proxy server" option.
In the tab that opens, specify the IP address of the proxy server. You should enter it in the field of the protocol to which the proxy server belongs.
Click the "OK" button to save your settings.

Popup scraping typically involves interacting with web pages that have dynamic content, including popups or modals. To scrape data from popups, you may need to use a headless browser automation library. One popular choice is Selenium, which provides a WebDriver API for interacting with browsers.

Here's an example using Python and Selenium to scrape data from a webpage with a popup

Install Selenium:

pip install selenium

• Download WebDriver:

  • Download the WebDriver for the browser you want to use. In this example, I'll use ChromeDriver. Download it from ChromeDriver Downloads and place the executable in your project directory or in a directory listed in your system's PATH.

• Write the Scraping Code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

def scrape_with_popup(url):
    # Set up the WebDriver (make sure the WebDriver executable is in the same directory or in your PATH)
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()

    try:
        # Open the webpage
        driver.get(url)

        # Locate and click the button/link that triggers the popup
        popup_trigger = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'popup-trigger')
        popup_trigger.click()

        # Wait for the popup to appear (adjust the timeout as needed)
        WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'popup-content')))

        # Extract data from the popup
        popup_content = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'popup-content').text
        print("Popup Content:", popup_content)

    finally:
        # Close the browser window
        driver.quit()

# Replace 'https://example.com' with the actual URL of the webpage
scrape_with_popup('https://example.com')

3. • Replace 'https://example.com' with the actual URL of the webpage you want to scrape.
   • Replace 'popup-trigger' and 'popup-content' with the actual IDs or other locators of the elements triggering the popup and the popup content.

4. Run the Code:

   • Execute the Python script, and it will open a browser, interact with the webpage, and print the content of the popup.

This example assumes that the webpage you are working with uses a trigger element (button/link) to open the popup.

In Selenium, you can select text from an element using various methods depending on the type of element and the browser you are using. Below are some common approaches:

Using getText() method:

The getText() method is used to get the visible text of an element. It returns the text as a single string.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

element = driver.find_element_by_id("element-id")
text = element.getText()
print(text)

Using find_elements() and get_attribute():

If you need to select a specific piece of text within an element, you can use the find_elements() method to find all the elements that match a certain condition and then use get_attribute('innerText') to get the text content of those elements.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[@class='some-class']//p")
for element in elements:
    text = element.get_attribute('innerText')
    print(text)

Using execute_script():

You can also use JavaScript to select text. The execute_script() method allows you to run JavaScript code in the context of the current page.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

text = driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].innerText;", driver.find_element_by_id("element-id"))
print(text)

Using actions module:

If you need to interact with the text, for example, to click on a specific word or phrase, you can use the actions module.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

element = driver.find_element_by_id("element-id")
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(element).perform()
actions.click(element).perform()

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com" and "element-id" with the actual URL and element ID or selector you want to interact with. Also, ensure that the browser driver (e.g., ChromeDriver for Google Chrome) is installed and properly configured in your environment.

If Selenium doesn't see the driver from Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver, it could be due to a few reasons. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Check the ChromeDriver version:

Make sure you're using the correct version of ChromeDriver that matches the version of the Chrome browser installed on your system. You can download the appropriate version of ChromeDriver from here.

Update the ChromeDriver path:

Ensure that the path to the ChromeDriver executable is correctly specified in your code. If you're using the ChromeOptions class to set the path, make sure you're using the correct property name. For example, in C#, use the ExecutablePath property:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument("--headless");
options.ExecutablePath = @"C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe";

using (ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options))
{
    driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("your_url");
    // Rest of your code
}

Replace C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe with the actual path to the ChromeDriver executable on your system.

1. Check for multiple ChromeDriver versions:

Sometimes, having multiple versions of ChromeDriver installed on your system can cause issues. Make sure there are no conflicting versions of ChromeDriver on your system and that the correct version is being used.

2. Check for antivirus or security software interference:

Sometimes, antivirus or security software can interfere with the execution of ChromeDriver. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus or security software to see if it resolves the issue. If it does, you may need to add an exception for ChromeDriver or change your antivirus settings.

3. Check the console output:

Examine the console output for any error messages or warnings that might provide more information about the issue. This can help you identify the root cause of the problem and find a suitable solution.

If you've tried all these steps and are still encountering issues, please provide more information about your system, including the operating system, Chrome browser version, and the specific error message or problem you're facing. This will help diagnose the issue further and find a suitable solution.

Every proxy server is of the type 168.1.1.1:8080, where the first part before the colon is the IP address of the remote computer through which the connection is made. The second part (after the colon, in this case 8080) is the port number through which your equipment will connect to that very remote server.
