Kochclub Proxies

Using the Internet in normal mode leads to loss of anonymity. In this case, the computer connects directly to the servers of sites and applications, recognizing the personal IP address and other confidential information. The use of redirecting proxy servers protects against all these unwanted consequences and allows you to bypass potential blocking. In order to take advantage of proxy servers of several types and varieties, it is necessary to install them properly.

Select the "Proxy" tab in the "Network" window, then click on Win+C and find the "Settings" item. In the window that opens, stop at "Change computer settings" and go to "Network". Select the "Proxy" line here and disable the proxy functionality.

On smartphones, when a proxy is turned on, the corresponding indicator (the "VPN" icon) appears in the status bar. In Windows you have to go to "Settings", open "Network and Internet". Under "Proxy Server", if the item "Manual" is activated, it means that the proxy is engaged right now.

In UDP, the term "connected" has a different meaning compared to TCP. Since UDP is a connectionless protocol, there is no established connection between the sender and receiver. However, you can determine if the UDP socket is in a listening state or if it has been successfully created.

To check if a UDP socket is in a listening state, you can use the socket.SOCK_DGRAM type and the bind() method. If the socket is successfully created and bound to an address and port, it will be in a listening state and ready to receive incoming UDP packets.

Here's an example using Python:

import socket

# Create a UDP socket
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)

# Bind the socket to an address and port
server_address = ('localhost', 12345)
server_socket.bind(server_address)

# Check if the socket is in a listening state
print("Socket is in a listening state: ", server_socket.getsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR) == 1)

# Close the socket
server_socket.close()

In this example, the bind() method creates a UDP socket and binds it to the specified address and port. The getsockopt() method is used to retrieve the SO_REUSEADDR option, which indicates whether the socket is in a listening state. If the value is 1, the socket is in a listening state and ready to receive incoming UDP packets.

To get a token from local storage, you can use the JavaScript localStorage object, which allows you to store key-value pairs in the browser's local storage. Here's how to get a token from local storage:

Access the token: You can access the token stored in local storage by using the localStorage.getItem() method. This method takes a key as an argument and returns the value associated with that key.

For example, if you have stored a token with the key "authToken", you can retrieve it like this:

const token = localStorage.getItem("authToken");

Use the token: Once you have the token, you can use it in your application as needed. For example, you can include it in the Authorization header of your API requests:

const headers = {
  "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`,
  // other headers...
};

Remember that local storage is limited to string values, so if your token is an object or has special characters, you might need to encode or serialize it before storing it and then decode or deserialize it when retrieving it.
