Proxy for Link Assistant

We recommend using SOCKS5 proxies for uTorrent. When using HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS4 protocols, users often encounter technical problems when downloading files. They may simply not be loaded on the device. It is also worth noting that SOCKS5 is the best anonymizer, which hides all the data of the computer.

Before choosing a proxy server provider, it is recommended to pay attention to the parameter "traffic limit". If there is one, money will be deducted from your account. To avoid loss of money, it is better to choose a vendor who has to pay not for traffic, but for the number of addresses.

In Node.js, you can introduce delays in your scraping logic using the setTimeout function, which allows you to execute a function after a specified amount of time has passed. This is useful for implementing delays between consecutive requests to avoid overwhelming a server or to comply with rate-limiting policies.

Here's a simple example using the setTimeout function in a Node.js script:

const axios = require('axios'); // Assuming you use Axios for making HTTP requests

// Function to scrape data from a URL with a delay
async function scrapeWithDelay(url, delay) {
  try {
    // Make the HTTP request
    const response = await axios.get(url);

    // Process the response data (replace this with your scraping logic)
    console.log(`Scraped data from ${url}:`, response.data);

    // Introduce a delay before making the next request
    await sleep(delay);

    // Make the next request or perform additional scraping logic
    // ...

  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Error scraping data from ${url}:`, error.message);
  }
}

// Function to introduce a delay using setTimeout
function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

// Example usage
const urlsToScrape = ['https://example.com/page1', 'https://example.com/page2', 'https://example.com/page3'];

// Loop through each URL and initiate scraping with a delay
const delayBetweenRequests = 2000; // Adjust the delay time in milliseconds (e.g., 2000 for 2 seconds)
for (const url of urlsToScrape) {
  scrapeWithDelay(url, delayBetweenRequests);
}

In this example:

• The scrapeWithDelay function performs the scraping logic for a given URL and introduces a delay before making the next request.
• The sleep function is a simple utility function that returns a promise that resolves after a specified number of milliseconds, effectively introducing a delay.
• The urlsToScrape array contains the URLs you want to scrape. Adjust the delay time (delayBetweenRequests) based on your scraping needs.

Please note that introducing delays is crucial when scraping websites to avoid being blocked or flagged for suspicious activity.

If Selenium is having trouble connecting to a proxy, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Here are some common solutions:

1. Check Proxy Configuration:

   • Verify that the proxy settings you are using are correct. Double-check the proxy address, port, and any authentication credentials if required.

2. Use the Correct WebDriver for the Browser:

   • Ensure that you are using the correct WebDriver executable for the browser you are automating. For example, if you are using Chrome, make sure you have the correct version of ChromeDriver.

3. Specify Proxy Settings in WebDriver Options:

   • When creating a WebDriver instance, make sure to set the proxy settings in the WebDriver options. Here's an example for Chrome:

from selenium import webdriver

proxy_address = "your_proxy_address"
proxy_port = "your_proxy_port"

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server=http://{proxy_address}:{proxy_port}')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

Handle Proxy Authentication:

• If your proxy requires authentication, make sure to provide the username and password in the proxy settings. Adjust the code accordingly:

chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server=http://username:password@{proxy_address}:{proxy_port}')

5. Check for Firewalls and Security Software:

   • Firewalls or security software on your machine may block the connection to the proxy. Temporarily disable such software to see if it resolves the issue.

6. Test Proxy Connection Outside Selenium:

   • Test whether you can connect to the proxy outside of Selenium using tools like curl or a browser. This helps determine if the issue is specific to Selenium or if there are broader network or proxy configuration issues.

7. Verify Proxy Availability:

   • Ensure that the proxy server is reachable and available. Try connecting to it manually or use network diagnostic tools to check its status.

8. Check Proxy Logs:

   • If the proxy server has logs, check them for any error messages or indications of connection issues. This can provide insights into why the connection is failing.

9. Update Selenium and Browser Drivers:

   • Ensure that you are using the latest version of Selenium WebDriver and browser drivers (e.g., ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver). Update them if needed to address any compatibility issues.

10. Use a Different Proxy:

    • If possible, try using a different proxy server to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem is specific to the proxy configuration.

11. Browser Specifics:

    • Some browsers may have specific settings or configurations related to proxy usage. Check the browser's documentation for any additional steps required for using a proxy with Selenium.

12. Consider Using a Proxy Service:

    • If you are facing difficulties with a specific proxy server, consider using a proxy service or a different proxy provider to see if it resolves the issue.

By following these steps and adjusting your Selenium code accordingly, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve most issues related to connecting to a proxy with Selenium.

A proxy server is a kind of "mediator" between your equipment and a remote server (or the whole Internet). It can be used, for example, to swap your real IP address for another one, to bypass blocking. Proxies can also be actively used to intercept traffic (e.g. when testing created web applications).

Go to settings, find the "Security" menu and click on "Unblock security settings". You will be prompted to agree to the changes, which you will need to confirm by clicking "Yes", which will unlock the "Allow unsupervised access" item. Now click on the text or checkbox to activate the function. On the computer from which you plan to connect remotely, you will need to enter the ID of the first computer and click on "Connect".
