Iceland Proxy

Most often it is used on the iPhone just to bypass the blocking of access to certain resources. But also VPN is one of the most effective methods of protecting your confidential information. After all, with VPN all traffic is additionally encrypted, the provider can't read it even if it's intercepted.

To organize multi-threaded scraping through a proxy in C#, you can use the HttpClient class along with tasks and threads. Additionally, you may use proxy rotation to avoid rate limiting and bans. Here's a basic example to get you started:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class Program
{
    static async Task Main()
    {
        // List of proxy URLs
        List proxyList = new List
        {
            "http://proxy1.com:8080",
            "http://proxy2.com:8080",
            // Add more proxies as needed
        };

        // Create HttpClient instances with a different proxy for each thread
        List httpClients = CreateHttpClients(proxyList);

        // List of URLs to scrape
        List urlsToScrape = new List
        {
            "https://example.com/page1",
            "https://example.com/page2",
            // Add more URLs as needed
        };

        // Create tasks for each URL
        List tasks = new List();
        foreach (string url in urlsToScrape)
        {
            tasks.Add(Task.Run(() => ScrapeUrl(url, httpClients)));
        }

        // Wait for all tasks to complete
        await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

        // Dispose of HttpClient instances
        foreach (HttpClient client in httpClients)
        {
            client.Dispose();
        }
    }

    static List CreateHttpClients(List proxies)
    {
        List clients = new List();
        foreach (string proxy in proxies)
        {
            var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler
            {
                Proxy = new WebProxy(proxy),
                UseProxy = true,
            };

            clients.Add(new HttpClient(httpClientHandler));
        }

        return clients;
    }

    static async Task ScrapeUrl(string url, List httpClients)
    {
        // Select a random proxy for this request
        var random = new Random();
        var httpClient = httpClients[random.Next(httpClients.Count)];

        try
        {
            // Make the request using the selected proxy
            HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.GetAsync(url);

            // Check if the request was successful
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                string content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                // Process the content as needed
                Console.WriteLine($"Scraped {url}: {content.Length} characters");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Failed to scrape {url}. Status code: {response.StatusCode}");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Error scraping {url}: {ex.Message}");
        }
    }
}

In this example:

The CreateHttpClients function creates a list of HttpClient instances, each configured with a different proxy from the provided list.

The ScrapeUrl function performs the actual scraping for a given URL using a randomly selected proxy.

The Main method creates tasks for each URL to be scraped and waits for all tasks to complete.

In the Windows Settings menu, go to "Network and Internet". At the very bottom, on the left side, find the item "Proxy server" and uncheck it so that it is no longer used. It is also desirable to uncheck the item "Automatic detection of parameters" in the section "Automatic configuration". If this is not done, there is a chance that the proxy will continue to be used. Reboot your laptop.

If you are interested in a quality and fast proxy server, do not look for it among the free options. All of them, although they seem to be profitable, in fact do not differ in duration of work and speed. It is recommended to buy quality proxies from reputable proxy service providers that are widely available on the Internet.

There are special online services that use IP and HTTP connection tags to determine if a proxy is being used from your equipment. The most popular are Proxy Checker, Socproxy.
