OPNsense 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".

Incoming and outgoing Internet speeds are important indicators of proxy performance because they directly influence the speed of downloading the required information. The value of the ping is important for estimating the speed - the lower the value, the better. You can find out the real speed of your proxy server with the help of proxy checker.

The HTMLCleaner library is typically used for cleaning and transforming HTML documents, but it does not provide a direct API for parsing HTML. Instead, it's often used in conjunction with an HTML parser to clean and format the HTML content.

Here's an example using HTMLCleaner along with the Jsoup library, which is a popular HTML parser in Java

Add the HTMLCleaner and Jsoup dependencies to your project. You can use Maven or Gradle to include them.

For Maven:

    net.sourceforge.htmlcleaner
    htmlcleaner
    2.25



    org.jsoup
    jsoup
    1.14.3

For Gradle:

implementation 'net.sourceforge.htmlcleaner:htmlcleaner:2.25'
implementation 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.14.3'

Use HTMLCleaner and Jsoup to parse and clean HTML:

import org.htmlcleaner.CleanerProperties;
import org.htmlcleaner.HtmlCleaner;
import org.htmlcleaner.TagNode;
import org.htmlcleaner.XPatherException;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

public class HtmlParsingExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String htmlContent = "
Hello, world!
";

        // Parse HTML using Jsoup
        Document document = Jsoup.parse(htmlContent);

        // Clean the parsed HTML using HTMLCleaner
        TagNode tagNode = cleanHtml(document.outerHtml());

        // Perform additional operations with the cleaned HTML
        // For example, extracting text content using XPath
        try {
            Object[] result = tagNode.evaluateXPath("//body/p");
            if (result.length > 0) {
                TagNode paragraph = (TagNode) result[0];
                String textContent = paragraph.getText().toString();
                System.out.println("Text content: " + textContent);
            }
        } catch (XPatherException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private static TagNode cleanHtml(String html) {
        HtmlCleaner cleaner = new HtmlCleaner();
        CleanerProperties properties = cleaner.getProperties();

        // Configure cleaner properties if needed
        properties.setOmitXmlDeclaration(true);

        try {
            return cleaner.clean(html);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
}

In this example, Jsoup is used for initial HTML parsing, and HTMLCleaner is used to clean the HTML. You can perform additional operations on the cleaned HTML, such as using XPath to extract specific elements.

An HTTP proxy works as an intermediary between a client (usually a web browser) and a web server. It receives HTTP requests from the client, forwards them to the appropriate web server, and then returns the web server's response back to the client. The primary purpose of an HTTP proxy is to provide various benefits such as privacy, caching, and content filtering.

It means a proxy server for devices that connect to the router via WiFi. It is also a remote server to let traffic through. For example, a user sends a request to Netflix from his smartphone through a proxy that is hosted in the UK. Netflix servers will "recognize" such a user as being from the UK (regardless of his actual location).
