Burp Squid Proxy

A proxy server spoofs the IP address, port, and hardware information. It can also act as a secure gateway for data transmission in an already encrypted form (for example, this is how a proxy with the SOCKS5 protocol works).

Scraping data from a community wall on VK (Vkontakte) using the VK API requires authentication and making requests to the API endpoints. VK provides an official API that you can use to access various data, including posts from community walls.

Here's a general guide on how to scrape posts from a community wall using the VK API:

1. Create a VK App:

   • Go to the VK Developers website and create a VK app.
   • Obtain the "App ID" and "Secure Key" for your app.

2. Authentication:

   • Get an access token to authenticate your requests. You can use the Implicit Flow for user authentication or the Client Credentials Flow for app authentication.

3. Make API Requests:

   • Use the obtained access token to make requests to the VK API. The endpoint for getting wall posts is wall.get.
   • You'll need the community's ID or screen name to get its wall posts.

Here's an example using Python and the requests library:

import requests

# Replace with your VK app details and access token
app_id = 'your_app_id'
secure_key = 'your_secure_key'
access_token = 'your_access_token'

# Replace with the community ID or screen name
community_id = 'your_community_id_or_screen_name'

# API endpoint for getting wall posts
api_url = f'https://api.vk.com/method/wall.get?owner_id=-{community_id}&count=10&access_token={access_token}&v=5.131'

# Make the API request
response = requests.get(api_url)
data = response.json()

# Extract and print the posts
if 'response' in data and 'items' in data['response']:
    posts = data['response']['items']
    for post in posts:
        print(post['text'])
else:
    print('Error fetching wall posts')

Note: Make sure to handle errors and check the VK API documentation for more details on available parameters and responses.

To reset proxy settings, you can follow these steps depending on your operating system:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Internet Properties window.
3. Click on the "Connections" tab.
4. Click on "LAN settings" in the bottom right corner.
5. In the "Proxy Server" section, select "Automatically detect settings" and click "OK".
6. Close the Internet Properties window.

In e-mail, proxy servers are used for secure data exchange as well as for collecting e-mails from several e-mail addresses at once. For example, this is how Gmail works, which also allows you to receive e-mails from mail.ru and other e-mail services.

In Windows 8 and later editions it is recommended to setup network proxy through Group Policy. To do this, run GPMC.msc (via "Run" or enter in the "Search"), then select the section with the users, from the list of parameters select "Internet Settings". Further settings are not different from the standard ones in Windows. You can set proxy, specify the start page, enter restrictions and so on.
