Proxy Realm

Open the "Settings" application via "Start" and go to "Network and Internet". Here, in the "Proxy" section, find the "Manual Proxy Configuration" column. Move the slider to "On" and carefully enter the IP address and port of the proxy, then click "Save".

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).

If you are parsing a site using JSoup in a Java application and you want to introduce a delay between requests to avoid being blocked or rate-limited by the website, you can use Thread.sleep to pause the execution for a specified duration. Here's a basic example

First, make sure you have the JSoup library included in your project. If you're using Maven, you can add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

    org.jsoup
    jsoup
    1.14.3 

Now, here's an example Java program using JSoup with a delay between requests:

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

import java.io.IOException;

public class WebScraperWithDelay {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Replace with the URL you want to scrape
        String url = "https://example.com";
        
        // Number of milliseconds to wait between requests
        long delayMillis = 2000; // 2 seconds
        
        try {
            for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                // Make the HTTP request using JSoup
                Document document = Jsoup.connect(url).get();

                // Process the document as needed
                System.out.println("Title: " + document.title());

                // Introduce a delay between requests
                Thread.sleep(delayMillis);
            }
        } catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

In this example:

1. Jsoup.connect(url).get() is used to make an HTTP request and retrieve the HTML document from the specified URL.
2. Thread.sleep(delayMillis) introduces a delay of 2 seconds between requests. You can adjust the value of delayMillis based on your needs.

To use a proxy, follow these steps:

1. Choose a proxy server: Select a reliable proxy server from a reputable list.

2. Configure your browser or software: Set up your browser or software to use the proxy server.

3. Test the connection: Verify that the proxy is working correctly by checking your IP address or using a proxy checker tool.

4. Monitor your connection: Keep an eye on the connection for stability and speed.

5. Be cautious: Be aware of potential security risks and avoid sharing sensitive information while using proxies.

Getting a resident proxy for free can be challenging, as many free proxies are often unreliable, slow, or may pose security risks. However, you can try the following methods to find free resident proxies:

1. Proxy lists: Search for reputable proxy lists that provide a collection of free proxies. Be cautious when choosing a list, as some may contain malicious or unreliable proxies.
2. Online forums and communities: Look for online forums or communities where people share and discuss free proxies. Be cautious when using free proxies from these sources, as they may not be reliable or secure.
3. Social media: Some users may share their free resident proxies on social media platforms. However, be cautious when using proxies from social media, as they may not be reliable or secure.
4. Web scraping tools: Use web scraping tools to extract proxy information from websites that list free proxies. Be cautious when using this method, as it may be against the terms of service of some websites.

Please note that using free proxies can expose you to various risks, so it's essential to be cautious and aware of the potential dangers. If you're unsure about using a free proxy, it may be best to avoid them and opt for a paid proxy service instead. Paid proxy services typically offer better reliability, speed, and security.
