Alternative To Squid Proxy

VPN is considered a more advanced technology for anonymization on the Internet. The main (but not the only) difference between VPN is the encryption of all traffic. But this decreases the connection speed and also increases the response time of the remote server. A proxy works slightly faster in this respect.

Scraping business contacts using regular expressions can be challenging and error-prone, especially considering the variations in contact information formats. Instead of using regular expressions directly, a better approach is to use a dedicated HTML parser like DOMDocument or a library like Simple HTML DOM Parser in PHP. This allows you to navigate the HTML structure and extract relevant information more reliably.

Here's an example using Simple HTML DOM Parser to scrape business contact information

Install Simple HTML DOM Parser:

You can download it from sourceforge and include it in your project, or use Composer:

composer require sunra/php-simple-html-dom-parser

Scraping Script:

find('span.phone-number') as $phoneElement) {
        $contacts[] = $phoneElement->plaintext;
    }

    // Example: Extracting email addresses
    foreach ($html->find('a.email') as $emailElement) {
        $contacts[] = $emailElement->plaintext;
    }

    // Add more logic to extract other types of contact information

    return $contacts;
}

// Example usage
$url = 'https://example.com/business-page';
$businessContacts = scrapeBusinessContacts($url);

// Print the extracted contacts
print_r($businessContacts);

2. Adjust the HTML element selectors (span.phone-number, a.email, etc.) based on the structure of the business contacts on the target website.

Remember:

• Web scraping might violate the terms of service of some websites, so always check and comply with the website's policies.
• The HTML structure of a webpage can change, so your scraping code might need adjustments if the website updates its design.
• Web scraping may be subject to legal and ethical considerations. Ensure you have the right to scrape and use the data.

To move the mouse using Selenium with C#, you can use the IJavaScriptExecutor interface to execute JavaScript commands that control the mouse movements on the web page. Here's an example of how to move the mouse to a specific element:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System;

namespace SeleniumMouseMoveExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set up the WebDriver
            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
            driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

            // Navigate to the target web page
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com");

            // Wait for the page to load
            WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
            IWebElement element = wait.Until(x => x.Id == "target-element");

            // Move the mouse to the element
            ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(
                "arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element);
            ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(
                "arguments[0].style.border='2px solid red';", element);
            ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(
                "window.getSelection().empty();", element);
            ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(
                "var event = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');" +
                "event.initMouseEvent('mousemove', true, false, window, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);" +
                "arguments[0].dispatchEvent(event);", element);

            // Perform any additional actions as needed

            // Close the browser
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

In this example, we first set up the WebDriver and navigate to the target web page. We then use the WebDriverWait class to wait for a specific element to load on the page. After that, we use the IJavaScriptExecutor interface to execute JavaScript commands that move the mouse to the element.

The scrollIntoView() method scrolls the element into view, the style.border property is used to highlight the element, and the window.getSelection().empty() method clears any existing selection. Finally, we create a custom mouse event using the createEvent method and dispatch it to the element using the dispatchEvent method.

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com" and "target-element" with the actual URL and element ID or selector of the web page and element you want to interact with.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a transport layer protocol that provides a simple and fast way to send data over a network. Unlike TCP, UDP does not establish a connection between the sender and receiver before sending data. Instead, UDP uses a connectionless communication model, where each datagram (data packet) is sent independently.

Here's how UDP works:

1. The sender application prepares the data to be sent and wraps it in a UDP datagram. This datagram contains the data, the source IP address, the destination IP address, and a checksum for error detection.

2. The sender application sends the UDP datagram to the network layer, which then forwards it to the appropriate network interface for transmission.

3. The datagram is transmitted over the network as a single, self-contained packet. There is no guarantee that the datagram will reach its destination, as UDP does not provide any error correction or retransmission mechanisms.

4. The receiving application listens for incoming UDP datagrams on a specific port. When a datagram arrives, the network layer forwards it to the appropriate application.

5. The receiving application processes the datagram, extracts the data, and handles any errors detected by the checksum.

It's important to note that UDP does not establish a connection between the sender and receiver. This means that there is no handshake or acknowledgment of receipt, and the sender does not know if the datagram was successfully delivered. UDP is often used for applications that prioritize speed over reliability, such as video streaming, online gaming, and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).

It is a proxy that everyone can connect to. That is, it handles absolutely all requests without interacting with the traffic in any way, without monitoring its packets.
