Proxy Shopper

Enter the settings using the gear icon (home screen) and click on it. Under "Wireless Networks", click on "Wi-Fi" and then click on "WiredSSID" and select "Change Network". Check the "Advanced" checkbox, and then select "Manual" for the proxy server. Click "Save" and close the settings.

Google Chrome doesn't have a built-in function to work with a proxy server, although there is such an item in the settings. But when you click on it, you are automatically "redirected" to the standard proxy settings in Windows (or any other operating system).

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.

If you can't proxy requests in Scrapy:

- Verify correct proxy configuration in Scrapy settings.
- Confirm proxy functionality with external tools.
- Check for typos or errors in your code and settings.
- Ensure proxy authentication details are correct.
- Test with a direct internet connection to isolate the issue.
- Check for IP blocking by the target website.
- Confirm proper configuration of the HttpProxyMiddleware.
- Use Scrapy logging to inspect requests and responses.
- Ensure your proxy supports HTTPS if needed.
- Test with a single, static proxy for simplicity.
- Keep Scrapy and dependencies up to date.
- Consider using middleware libraries like scrapy-rotating-proxies.

There are lots of ways to use them. For example, you can swap your real IP address location for an American one, thus getting the opportunity to watch Netflix at a bargain price. Or you can set up parsing traffic through a proxy to test the security of your web applications. Or you can create a proxy server on your local network that allows traffic through and blocks requests to certain sites.
