Pigcha Proxy

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 Scrapy, you can control the caching behavior of requests made by rules in your spider by adjusting the dont_cache attribute in the Rule object. The dont_cache attribute, when set to True, indicates that the requests matched by the rule should not be cached.

Here's an example of how you can use dont_cache in a CrawlSpider:

from scrapy.linkextractors import LinkExtractor
from scrapy.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule

class MySpider(CrawlSpider):
    name = 'my_spider'
    allowed_domains = ['example.com']
    start_urls = ['http://example.com']

    rules = (
        # Example Rule with dont_cache set to True
        Rule(LinkExtractor(allow=('/page/')), callback='parse_page', follow=True, dont_cache=True),
    )

    def parse_page(self, response):
        # Your parsing logic for individual pages goes here
        pass

- The spider is defined as a CrawlSpider.
- The Rule is created with LinkExtractor to match URLs that contain '/page/' in them.
- The dont_cache=True attribute is set to True in the Rule, indicating that requests matched by this rule should not be cached.

By setting dont_cache to True, Scrapy will make sure that requests matched by this rule will be fetched without considering the cache. This is useful when you want to ensure that each request to the specified URLs results in a fresh response, bypassing any cached data.

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).

It means that now all the traffic is sent to a VPN server (which can be an ordinary proxy). This is a kind of warning that the remote server can now collect data. Therefore, you should use only well-tested VPN services.

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).
