Private Proxies For Web Developers

To scrape an image using Selenium in C#, you can find the image element on the web page and then retrieve the image source (URL) or download the image file. Here's a simple example:

using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Set up the Chrome WebDriver
        using (var driver = new ChromeDriver())
        {
            // Navigate to the web page containing the image
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://example.com");

            // Find the image element (replace with your actual locator)
            IWebElement imageElement = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//img[@id='your_image_id']"));

            // Get the source URL of the image
            string imageUrl = imageElement.GetAttribute("src");

            Console.WriteLine("Image Source URL: " + imageUrl);

            // Download the image (optional)
            DownloadImage(imageUrl);
        }
    }

    // Function to download the image
    static void DownloadImage(string imageUrl)
    {
        using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
        {
            // Replace "downloaded_image.jpg" with your desired file name
            webClient.DownloadFile(imageUrl, "downloaded_image.jpg");
            Console.WriteLine("Image Downloaded Successfully.");
        }
    }
}

In this example:

The Chrome WebDriver is set up.

The program navigates to a web page (replace "https://example.com" with the actual URL).

The image element is located using a locator (replace "//img[@id='your_image_id']" with the actual XPath or other locator for your image).

The source URL of the image is retrieved using GetAttribute("src").

Optionally, the DownloadImage function is called to download the image using WebClient. Adjust the file name and path as needed.

Select the "Proxy" tab in the "Network" window, then click on Win+C and find the "Settings" item. In the window that opens, stop at "Change computer settings" and go to "Network". Select the "Proxy" line here and disable the proxy functionality.

This is a proxy server integrated into the app to redirect traffic. It allows you to protect yourself from being tracked or to use the program where it is blocked. For example, at one time, users used a proxy server to bypass Telegram blocking.

HTTP proxies are used for surfing the Internet and working with social networks. However, when using this type of proxy, the user's IP address remains unprotected. At the same time, the connection speed remains high.
SOCKS proxy are designed to use programs and visit sites anonymously. Also this type of proxy allows bypassing the resources with proxy-server protection.
To sum up: SOCKS proxies are a more advanced development compared to HTTP. However, to use SOCKS, you must know how to configure your browser and use special utilities.

Several virtual proxy servers can be created within one device. These are special dedicated servers that only "service" such traffic. Many devices can connect to them at the same time.
