AWS SSM Proxy

Open the torrent and through the "Menu" enter the subsection "Connection". Under "Proxy" choose a proxy type (Socks5 is best). In the box "Proxy" put IP address of your proxy, and in the "Port" box, respectively, the port of your proxy. If you are going to use proxy authentication, you will have to give your name and password in the corresponding fields. Click "Apply".

To scrape images in C#, you can use the HTMLAgilityPack library for parsing HTML and retrieving image URLs. Here's a basic example

Install HTMLAgilityPack

You can install the HTMLAgilityPack NuGet package using the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package HtmlAgilityPack

Write a C# script to scrape images:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using HtmlAgilityPack;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string url = "https://example.com"; // Replace with the URL of the page you want to scrape images from

        // Download HTML content from the URL
        HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
        HtmlDocument document = web.Load(url);

        // Extract image URLs
        List imageUrls = ExtractImageUrls(document, url);

        // Print the extracted image URLs
        foreach (string imageUrl in imageUrls)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(imageUrl);
        }
    }

    static List ExtractImageUrls(HtmlDocument document, string baseUrl)
    {
        List imageUrls = new List();

        // Select image elements using XPath
        var imageElements = document.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//img[@src]");

        if (imageElements != null)
        {
            foreach (var imageElement in imageElements)
            {
                // Extract image URL from the src attribute
                string imageUrl = imageElement.GetAttributeValue("src", "");

                // Make the URL absolute if it's a relative URL
                imageUrl = new Uri(new Uri(baseUrl), imageUrl).AbsoluteUri;

                // Add the URL to the list
                imageUrls.Add(imageUrl);
            }
        }

        return imageUrls;
    }
}

This script uses HTMLAgilityPack to load the HTML content of a webpage and extract image URLs using XPath. The ExtractImageUrls method selects image elements with the XPath query "//img[@src]", retrieves the src attribute, and converts relative URLs to absolute URLs.

Run the script:

Replace the url variable with the URL of the webpage you want to scrape images from.

Run the script to see the list of image URLs.

A proxy server is responsible for acting as an intermediary between a client and a destination server, handling requests and responses on behalf of the client. Its primary functions include:

1. Access control: A proxy server can be configured to control access to certain resources or websites based on user authentication, IP address, or other criteria. This can help organizations enforce access policies and restrict access to inappropriate or unauthorized content.

2. Caching: Proxy servers can cache frequently accessed content, such as web pages, images, and other files, to improve performance and reduce the load on the destination server. This can result in faster response times for clients accessing previously cached content.

3. Anonymity and privacy: By routing requests through a proxy server, a client can maintain anonymity and privacy. The proxy server's IP address appears as the source of the request, rather than the client's IP address, which can help protect the client's identity and location.

4. Content filtering: Proxy servers can be configured to filter and block certain types of content, such as malicious websites, adult content, or specific keywords. This can help organizations maintain a safe and secure browsing environment for their users.

5. Performance optimization: Proxy servers can optimize performance by compressing data, using content delivery networks (CDNs), or implementing load balancing techniques. This can result in faster load times and improved user experience.

6. Protocol translation: In some cases, proxy servers can translate between different communication protocols, allowing clients to access resources using a different protocol than the destination server supports.

7. Security: Proxy servers can provide additional security by encrypting data transmitted between the client and the destination server, protecting sensitive information from being intercepted or tampered with during transmission.

If your ISP blocks you from downloading torrents, turning on your proxy server is the easiest way around the blockage. How exactly this is done depends on the torrent client you are using. For example, in Qbittorrent you need to go to settings, open "Network" tab, check "Proxy-server" and manually specify its settings. The same way uTorrent is configured.

Open the control panel of your computer, find and select the item "Network connection", and then click "Show network connections", "Local network connections" and "Properties". If there is a tick next to "Obtain an IP address automatically", then no dedicated proxy has been used. If you see numbers there, it will be your address.
