Mobile Anonymous Proxy

It is recommended to use third-party programs that allow redirecting all traffic through a proxy server. For example, ProxyDroid, EveryProxy. It is not possible to use proxies through the regular menu. Although in phones from some manufacturers such possibility has been added.

In Windows, proxy settings for local connections are made through the "Network and Sharing Center" (from the "Control Panel"). You need to select "Browser Properties", then go to "Connections" and click on "Network Setting". And there you can set either the script or the parameters for the proxy.

To simulate a click during scraping, you can use a headless browser automation library like Puppeteer for Node.js. Puppeteer provides a high-level API to control headless browsers, allowing you to automate tasks such as clicking on elements, filling out forms, and navigating through pages.

Here's a basic example of how you can use Puppeteer to simulate a click:

1. Install Puppeteer:

   • Install Puppeteer using npm:

npm install puppeteer

Write the Scraping Script:

• Create a Node.js script (e.g., scrape_with_click.js) with the following code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

async function scrapeWithClick() {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    try {
        // Navigate to the target URL
        await page.goto('https://example.com');

        // Wait for a specific selector to appear (replace with the selector of the element you want to click)
        const elementSelector = 'button#exampleButton';
        await page.waitForSelector(elementSelector);

        // Simulate a click on the specified element
        await page.click(elementSelector);

        // Wait for the page to settle (replace with additional logic if needed)
        await page.waitForTimeout(2000);

        // Extract and print information after the click
        const extractedInfo = await page.evaluate(() => {
            // Replace this with your logic to extract information from the clicked page
            return document.title;
        });

        console.log('Extracted information after click:', extractedInfo);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error during scraping:', error);
    } finally {
        // Close the browser
        await browser.close();
    }
}

// Run the scraping script
scrapeWithClick();

• • Replace 'https://example.com' with the URL you want to scrape.

  • Replace 'button#exampleButton' with the selector of the element you want to click.

• Run the Script:

  • Run the script using Node.js:

node scrape_with_click.js

This script uses Puppeteer to launch a headless browser, navigate to a specified URL, wait for a specific element to appear, simulate a click on that element, and then perform additional actions or extractions as needed.

Make sure to handle errors and adjust the script based on the structure of the website you are scraping.

To run Firefox with Selenium and connected extensions, you'll need to use the FirefoxDriverService and FirefoxOptions. You can also set the path to the Firefox executable and the path to the extensions' .xpi files using the FirefoxBinary and FirefoxProfile classes. Here's an example of how to do this:

Install the required NuGet packages:

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

Create a method to add extensions to the Firefox profile:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

public static IWebDriver CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions(string[] extensionPaths)
{
    var firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
    var firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary(Path.GetDirectoryName(FirefoxDriverService.DefaultServicePath));
    var firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();

    // Add extensions to the Firefox profile
    foreach (var extensionPath in extensionPaths)
    {
        var extensionFile = new FileInfo(extensionPath);
        if (extensionFile.Exists)
        {
            firefoxProfile.AddExtension(extensionPath);
        }
    }

    firefoxOptions.BinaryLocation = firefoxBinary.Path;
    firefoxOptions.Profile = firefoxProfile;

    // Start the FirefoxDriverService with the specified Firefox binary
    var driverService = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(firefoxBinary.Path, FirefoxDriverService.DefaultPort);
    driverService.EnableVerboseLogging = true;

    // Create the FirefoxDriver with the specified options
    var driver = new FirefoxDriver(driverService, firefoxOptions);

    return driver;
}

Use the CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions method in your test code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using System;

namespace SeleniumFirefoxExtensionsExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Paths to the extensions' .xpi files
            string[] extensionPaths = new[]
            {
                @"path\to\extension1.xpi",
                @"path\to\extension2.xpi"
            };

            // Create the FirefoxDriver with connected extensions
            using (var driver = CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions(extensionPaths))
            {
                // Set up the WebDriver
                driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

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

                // Perform any additional actions as needed

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

In this example, we first create a method called CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions that takes an array of extension paths as input. Inside the method, we set up the FirefoxOptions, FirefoxBinary, and FirefoxProfile to include the specified extensions. Then, we start the FirefoxDriverService with the specified Firefox binary and create the FirefoxDriver with the specified options.

In the test code, we call the CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions method with the paths to the extensions' .xpi files and use the returned IWebDriver instance to interact with the browser.

Remember to replace "path\to\extension1.xpi" and "path\to\extension2.xpi" with the actual paths to the extensions' .xpi files you want to connect.

A proxy in data centers is usually a separate server that processes incoming requests and then distributes them to the submitted addresses (or IP). Also through the proxy it is possible to allocate a specific user a separate IP address for connection (for example, if he needs a virtual server).
