When scraping paginated content, fetching the "next page" usually involves extracting the URL of the next page from the HTML of the current page. In PHP, you can use a library like Simple HTML DOM Parser to parse HTML and extract the URL for the next page.

Here's an example of how you might scrape the next page URL using PHP

Install Simple HTML DOM Parser:

You can download it from sourceforge and include it in your project, or use Composer:

composer require sunra/php-simple-html-dom-parser

Write a PHP script to scrape the next page URL:

find('a.next-page-link', 0);

    if ($nextPageLink) {
        // Extract the href attribute (URL) from the link
        $nextPageUrl = $nextPageLink->href;
        return $nextPageUrl;
    } else {
        return null; // No next page link found
    }
}

// Example usage
$currentUrl = 'https://example.com/page1'; // Replace with the URL of the current page
$nextPageUrl = scrapeNextPageUrl($currentUrl);

if ($nextPageUrl) {
    echo "Next Page URL: $nextPageUrl";
} else {
    echo "No Next Page URL found.";
}

Replace the $currentUrl variable with the URL of the current page.

Adjust the HTML element selector ('a.next-page-link') based on the structure of the website you are scraping.

Run the script:

Execute the PHP script to see the URL of the next page.

To find an element by its HTML code in Selenium, you can use the ExecuteScript method to execute JavaScript code that returns the element corresponding to the provided HTML code. Here's an example of how to do this using C#:

Install the required NuGet packages:

Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.WebDriver -Version 3.141.0
Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI -Version 3.141.0

Create a method to find an element by its HTML code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public static IWebElement FindElementByHtml(this IWebDriver driver, string htmlCode)
{
    // Execute JavaScript to create a new element with the provided HTML code
    var script = $@"var div = document.createElement('div'); div.innerHTML = arguments[0]; document.body.appendChild(div); return div.children[0];";
    var element = (IWebElement)driver.ExecuteScript(script, htmlCode);

    // Remove the created element from the DOM
    driver.ExecuteScript("document.body.removeChild(document.body.children[document.body.children.length - 1]);");

    return element;
}

Use the FindElementByHtml method in your test code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using System;

namespace SeleniumFindElementByHtmlExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set up the WebDriver
            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
            driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

            // Navigate to the target web page
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com");

            // Find an element by its HTML code
            IWebElement element = driver.FindElementByHtml(@"
                

                    
Example Heading
                    
Example paragraph text.
                
");

            // Perform any additional actions as needed

            // Close the browser
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

In this example, we first create a method called FindElementByHtml that takes an IWebDriver instance and a string containing the HTML code as input. Inside the method, we use the ExecuteScript method to execute JavaScript code that creates a new element with the provided HTML code, appends it to the document body, and returns the created element.

We then remove the created element from the DOM using another ExecuteScript call. The method returns the created element as an IWebElement.

In the test code, we set up the WebDriver, navigate to the target web page, and use the FindElementByHtml method to find an element by its HTML code. After finding the element, you can perform any additional actions as needed.

Remember to replace the HTML code in the FindElementByHtml method call with the actual HTML code you want to use.

Creating your own proxy server can be a complex process that requires knowledge of networking, programming, and server management. However, if you're interested in setting up a proxy server, here's a general outline of the steps you'll need to follow:

1. Choose a server: You'll need a dedicated server or a computer to act as your proxy server. Make sure the server has a stable internet connection and sufficient resources (RAM, storage, and bandwidth) to handle the traffic.

2. Install an operating system: Install a suitable operating system on your server, such as Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, or Debian).

3. Configure the server: Set up your server by configuring the firewall, routing, and network settings. You may need to edit configuration files or use command-line tools to make these changes.

4. Install a proxy server software: Choose a proxy server software or platform to run on your server. Some popular options include Squid, Privoxy, and Caddy. Install the software using the package manager for your operating system (e.g., apt-get for Debian-based systems or yum for CentOS-based systems).

5. Configure the proxy server: Open the configuration file for your proxy server software (usually a text file) and edit the settings to match your requirements. You'll need to configure the listening port, IP addresses to forward requests to, and other settings such as authentication, logging, and caching.

6. Test the proxy server: Once you've configured the proxy server, test it to ensure it's working correctly. You can use online tools or test it with your web browser by configuring the browser to use your proxy server.

7. Secure the proxy server: Implement security measures to protect your proxy server from unauthorized access and potential attacks. This may include setting up a firewall, using strong authentication, and keeping the server software up to date with the latest security patches.

8. Maintain and monitor: Regularly monitor the performance and security of your proxy server, and perform routine maintenance tasks such as updating software, checking logs, and ensuring sufficient resources are available.

Technically, ISP can block only some intermediary servers by IP-addresses. But it's impossible to block absolutely all VPN-servers, because there are so many of them and their addresses are constantly changing. Accordingly, in this case, you just need to use another VPN-server.

The easiest way to do this is to use online proxy checking services. For example, Hidemy Name. It is free, displays technical data about the connection, and at the same time it also checks the ping.
