Proxy Server For Home Use

In the Windows Settings menu, go to "Network and Internet". At the very bottom, on the left side, find the item "Proxy server" and uncheck it so that it is no longer used. It is also desirable to uncheck the item "Automatic detection of parameters" in the section "Automatic configuration". If this is not done, there is a chance that the proxy will continue to be used. Reboot your laptop.

Most often it is used to substitute your real IP address. An example of when this is needed: watching shows on Netflix that are only available to US users. A proxy can be used to make a user logging in from anywhere in the world will be identified by the IP address as a US user. Another option is to test your site through a local web server. A proxy in this case is used to intercept all the traffic in order to analyze it further for errors and failures.

To receive and display a video stream via UDP protocol on a C# server, you can use the UdpClient class from the System.Net.Sockets namespace. Here's a simple example of how to set up a UDP server that receives a video stream and displays it on a Windows Forms application:

1. Create a new Windows Forms Application project in Visual Studio.

2. Add a PictureBox control to the form.

3. Double-click on the PictureBox to create a new method named pictureBox1_Click.

4. Add the following code to the pictureBox1_Click method:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace UDP_Video_Stream
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private const int Port = 12345;
        private byte[] _buffer = new byte[1024 * 1024]; // 1MB buffer
        private UdpClient _udpClient;
        private Thread _receiveThread;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            InitializeUdpClient();
        }

        private void InitializeUdpClient()
        {
            _udpClient = new UdpClient(Port);
            _udpClient.EnableBroadcast = true;
            _receiveThread = new Thread(ReceiveVideoStream);
            _receiveThread.Start();
        }

        private void ReceiveVideoStream()
        {
            while (true)
            {
                try
                {
                    IPEndPoint remoteEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0);
                    int receivedBytes = _udpClient.Receive(ref remoteEndPoint);

                    byte[] frame = new byte[receivedBytes];
                    Array.Copy(_buffer, frame, receivedBytes);

                    // Process the received frame (decode, display, etc.)
                    ProcessFrame(frame);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                }
            }
        }

        private void ProcessFrame(byte[] frame)
        {
            // This method should be implemented to process the received frame.
            // For example, you can decode the frame using a library like FFmpeg and display it on the PictureBox.
            // Note that this is a complex task and requires additional libraries and code.
        }

        private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // This method is called when the PictureBox is clicked.
            // You can add any additional logic here if needed.
        }
    }
}

This code sets up a UDP server that listens on port 12345 and receives video frames. The ProcessFrame method should be implemented to process the received frame, which may involve decoding the frame

To keep only unique external links while scraping with Scrapy, you can use a set to track the visited external links and filter out duplicates. Here's an example spider that demonstrates how to achieve this:

import scrapy
from urllib.parse import urlparse, urljoin

class UniqueLinksSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'unique_links'
    start_urls = ['http://example.com']  # Replace with the starting URL of your choice
    visited_external_links = set()

    def parse(self, response):
        # Extract all links from the current page
        all_links = response.css('a::attr(href)').extract()

        for link in all_links:
            full_url = urljoin(response.url, link)

            # Check if the link is external
            if urlparse(full_url).netloc != urlparse(response.url).netloc:
                # Check if it's a unique external link
                if full_url not in self.visited_external_links:
                    # Add the link to the set of visited external links
                    self.visited_external_links.add(full_url)

                    # Yield the link or process it further
                    yield {
                        'external_link': full_url
                    }

        # Follow links to other pages
        for next_page_url in response.css('a::attr(href)').extract():
            yield scrapy.Request(url=urljoin(response.url, next_page_url), callback=self.parse)

- visited_external_links is a class variable that keeps track of the unique external links across all instances of the spider.
- The parse method extracts all links from the current page.
- For each link, it checks if it is an external link by comparing the netloc (domain) of the current page and the link.
- If the link is external, it checks if it is unique by looking at the visited_external_links set.
- If the link is unique, it is added to the set, and the spider yields the link or processes it further.
- The spider then follows links to other pages, recursively calling the parse method.

Remember to replace the start_urls with the URL from which you want to start scraping.

In the messenger settings, go to "Data and storage" and then, in the "Proxy settings" section, click "Add proxy". You can see whether a proxy is connected in Telegram by the presence of the shield icon located in the top menu bar.
