When working with HtmlAgilityPack in C# to scrape identical tags, you can use XPath or LINQ queries to select and iterate over the desired elements. Here's an example using HtmlAgilityPack to scrape links (anchor tags) from an HTML document:

using HtmlAgilityPack;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Load the HTML document (replace with your HTML content or file path)
        HtmlDocument htmlDoc = new HtmlDocument();
        htmlDoc.LoadHtml("Link 1Link 2Link 3");

        // Select all anchor elements
        HtmlNodeCollection links = htmlDoc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a");

        // Iterate over each anchor element and print the href attribute
        if (links != null)
        {
            foreach (HtmlNode link in links)
            {
                string href = link.GetAttributeValue("href", "");
                Console.WriteLine("Link: " + href);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("No links found.");
        }
    }
}

In this example:

• The HtmlDocument class is used to load the HTML content.
• The SelectNodes method with the XPath expression "//a" is used to select all anchor elements.
• The GetAttributeValue method is used to retrieve the value of the href attribute for each anchor element.

Make sure to replace the HTML content in htmlDoc.LoadHtml with your actual HTML or load it from a file.

Adjust the XPath expression or use LINQ queries based on your specific HTML structure and the tags you want to scrape. Remember to handle cases where elements might not exist or contain the desired attributes.

A proxy server is responsible for acting as an intermediary between a client and a destination server, handling requests and responses on behalf of the client. Its primary functions include:

1. Access control: A proxy server can be configured to control access to certain resources or websites based on user authentication, IP address, or other criteria. This can help organizations enforce access policies and restrict access to inappropriate or unauthorized content.

2. Caching: Proxy servers can cache frequently accessed content, such as web pages, images, and other files, to improve performance and reduce the load on the destination server. This can result in faster response times for clients accessing previously cached content.

3. Anonymity and privacy: By routing requests through a proxy server, a client can maintain anonymity and privacy. The proxy server's IP address appears as the source of the request, rather than the client's IP address, which can help protect the client's identity and location.

4. Content filtering: Proxy servers can be configured to filter and block certain types of content, such as malicious websites, adult content, or specific keywords. This can help organizations maintain a safe and secure browsing environment for their users.

5. Performance optimization: Proxy servers can optimize performance by compressing data, using content delivery networks (CDNs), or implementing load balancing techniques. This can result in faster load times and improved user experience.

6. Protocol translation: In some cases, proxy servers can translate between different communication protocols, allowing clients to access resources using a different protocol than the destination server supports.

7. Security: Proxy servers can provide additional security by encrypting data transmitted between the client and the destination server, protecting sensitive information from being intercepted or tampered with during transmission.

To create your own proxy server, you can use open-source software such as Privoxy or Squid. Here's a step-by-step guide using Privoxy:

Install Privoxy: Download the latest version of Privoxy from the official website (https://www.privoxy.org/download/) and install it on your computer. The installation process varies depending on your operating system.

Configure Privoxy: After installing Privoxy, open the configuration file, usually located at /etc/privoxy/config.txt on Linux or C:\Program Files\Privoxy\config\config.txt on Windows. You can also find the configuration file in the installation directory.

Edit the configuration file: Open the configuration file in a text editor and make the following changes:

Uncomment the following line by removing the # symbol at the beginning:

listen-address 0.0.0.0

Uncomment the following line and change the port number if desired (e.g., 8118):

listen-port 8118

Uncomment the following line to enable HTTPS support:

forward-suffix .privoxy

Add the following line to forward requests to a specific destination server (replace with the desired server's address):

forward-suffix 

Save the configuration file and restart Privoxy: Close the text editor and restart Privoxy to apply the changes. On Linux, you can use the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart

On Windows, locate the Privoxy service in the Windows Services list and restart it.

Test your proxy server: Open a web browser and configure it to use your new proxy server (e.g., http://localhost:8118). Test by accessing a website to ensure that the proxy server is working correctly.

The basic configuration is written in nginx.conf file in the program directory. You need to create a server article and specify there the port number and the place for cached data. Thus, for example, by using port 8080 you may organize a local proxy to test your own sites.

A proxy is responsible for forwarding traffic. Technically, it just copies the traffic and sends it to the Internet, but it also replaces various metadata (the type of equipment from which the request is sent, the port number, the IP address, and so on). Or it can be simply called a "mediator" in the computer network.
