AWS ECR Proxy

The first thing to do is to go into the "Settings" of the messenger. In the "Data and Memory" section, at the very bottom, are the "Proxy Settings". Activate "Use proxy" and select the protocol SOCKS5, then in the line "Server" write the address and in the line "Port" - the port of the proxy. Since SOCKS5 often uses a system of authentication, you'll need to enter your username and password in the appropriate lines. Sign the result by clicking the checkbox at the top right corner of the screen. When you have connected the proxy to Telegram, don't forget to click "Share" and select the desired contacts.

In Python, when using socket module, both TCP and UDP sockets have different local addresses (laddr) because they serve different purposes and have different characteristics.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol that ensures reliable, in-order, and error-checked delivery of data between the sender and receiver. It uses a connection establishment phase to establish a session between the sender and receiver, and it maintains a connection state throughout the data exchange.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that provides a simple and fast way to send and receive data without the overhead of establishing and maintaining a connection. It does not guarantee the delivery, order, or error-checking of data packets.

Here are the main differences between TCP and UDP sockets in Python:

1. Local Address (laddr):

2. Connection:

3. Reliability:

In summary, the different laddr values in TCP and UDP sockets are due to their different purposes and characteristics. TCP sockets use laddr to represent the listening endpoint, while UDP sockets use laddr to represent the sending or receiving endpoint.

If you can't download images in Scrapy:

- Check the image pipeline configuration in settings.py.
- Verify HTTPS compatibility and install the certifi package if necessary.
- Confirm the correctness of XPath or CSS selectors for image URLs.
- Ensure image URLs are in the correct format; log URLs for inspection.
- Handle redirects by setting REDIRECT_ENABLED = True.
- Check and set appropriate HTTP headers in your Scrapy spider.
- Adjust the CONCURRENT_REQUESTS setting to avoid server restrictions.
- Verify correct configuration of the ImagesPipeline.
- Inspect the downloaded images in the specified IMAGES_STORE directory.
- Implement exception handling in your spider to catch download errors.

In Windows, proxy settings for local connections are made through the "Network and Sharing Center" (from the "Control Panel"). You need to select "Browser Properties", then go to "Connections" and click on "Network Setting". And there you can set either the script or the parameters for the proxy.

Regular Windows functionality has a minimum of settings for proxies. Therefore, it is recommended to use third-party applications for this purpose. For example, Proxy Switcher or Proxifier. There you can not only set the server characteristics but also, for example, create a folder for packets of traffic that are transmitted through the local network.
