IntelliJ Proxy

All you need to know when using a web proxy is the address of the web site of the proxy server. A web proxy is like a browser built into a web page. Usually, it always has a bar for entering the URL of the web site you want to open. After entering the URL of the web proxy server address into the address bar of the browser, enter the address of the desired web site into the proxy URL and press "Enter".

In Node.js, you can introduce delays in your scraping logic using the setTimeout function, which allows you to execute a function after a specified amount of time has passed. This is useful for implementing delays between consecutive requests to avoid overwhelming a server or to comply with rate-limiting policies.

Here's a simple example using the setTimeout function in a Node.js script:

const axios = require('axios'); // Assuming you use Axios for making HTTP requests

// Function to scrape data from a URL with a delay
async function scrapeWithDelay(url, delay) {
  try {
    // Make the HTTP request
    const response = await axios.get(url);

    // Process the response data (replace this with your scraping logic)
    console.log(`Scraped data from ${url}:`, response.data);

    // Introduce a delay before making the next request
    await sleep(delay);

    // Make the next request or perform additional scraping logic
    // ...

  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Error scraping data from ${url}:`, error.message);
  }
}

// Function to introduce a delay using setTimeout
function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

// Example usage
const urlsToScrape = ['https://example.com/page1', 'https://example.com/page2', 'https://example.com/page3'];

// Loop through each URL and initiate scraping with a delay
const delayBetweenRequests = 2000; // Adjust the delay time in milliseconds (e.g., 2000 for 2 seconds)
for (const url of urlsToScrape) {
  scrapeWithDelay(url, delayBetweenRequests);
}

In this example:

• The scrapeWithDelay function performs the scraping logic for a given URL and introduces a delay before making the next request.
• The sleep function is a simple utility function that returns a promise that resolves after a specified number of milliseconds, effectively introducing a delay.
• The urlsToScrape array contains the URLs you want to scrape. Adjust the delay time (delayBetweenRequests) based on your scraping needs.

Please note that introducing delays is crucial when scraping websites to avoid being blocked or flagged for suspicious activity.

To disable the proxy in Microsoft Edge, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge: Locate the Microsoft Edge application on your computer and click on its icon to launch the browser.

2. Click on the three-dot menu: In the upper right corner of the Edge window, click on the three horizontal dots to open the menu.

5. Click on "VPN": Under the "Privacy and services" section, click on "VPN" to open the VPN settings.

6. Toggle off "Use secure DNS": In the VPN settings, locate the "Use secure DNS" toggle and switch it off. This will disable the proxy settings in Microsoft Edge.

7. Restart Edge: Close and reopen Microsoft Edge to apply the changes and ensure that the proxy is disabled.

Alternatively, you can also disable the proxy settings by using the following method:

1. Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the Microsoft Edge browser on your computer.

2. Press Ctrl+Shift+O: Press the Ctrl, Shift, and O keys simultaneously on your keyboard to open the Edge Developer Tools.

3. Click on the "Network" tab: In the Developer Tools window, click on the "Network" tab to view network-related settings.

4. Click on the "Disable proxy" checkbox: In the Network tab, locate the "Disable proxy" checkbox and click on it to disable the proxy settings in Microsoft Edge.

5. Restart Edge: Close and reopen Microsoft Edge to apply the changes and ensure that the proxy is disabled.

A proxy server script address, also known as a proxy script or proxy URL, is a specific address that points to a script or a web page containing instructions for connecting to a proxy server. This script or web page can be written in various programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, or Python, and it typically contains the configuration settings and parameters required to connect to a proxy server.

When you visit a website or access an online resource, your browser or application may use a proxy server to route your traffic. In some cases, you might need to manually configure your browser or application to use a specific proxy server. To do this, you would need the proxy server's script address, which you can then enter into the appropriate settings field.

For example, you might encounter a proxy server script address in the following format:

http://:@:/

Here, and represent the proxy server's authentication credentials, is the proxy server's IP address or hostname, is the proxy server's port number, and is the path to the proxy script on the proxy server.

To enable proxies in your MacBook, you need to go to "System Preferences" (from the "Apple" menu), then open "Network", then - specify the type of connection you are using. Then select "Advanced Settings" (can be named as "Advanced"), then click on "Proxy". And then - either set the parameters manually, or specify a configuration file.
