Proxy Swap

VPN allows you to hide your real IP address, as well as further encrypt your traffic. VPN is also actively used for address spoofing. For example, the user is in the Russian Federation, but by connecting through a VPN server, the site "thinks" that the user is from the United States.

There are 2 ways to do this. The first is to manually change the settings in /etc/environment, but you will definitely need root access to do that. You can also use the Network Manager utility (compatible with all common DEs). You just have to make sure beforehand that the driver for the network adapter to work properly is installed on the system.

In C#, you can parse text using various methods depending on the specific requirements, such as splitting, regular expressions, or more complex parsing with custom logic. Here are some examples:

1. Splitting Text:

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string inputText = "This is an example text.";
        
        // Split by space
        string[] words = inputText.Split(' ');

        // Print each word
        foreach (string word in words)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(word);
        }
    }
}

2. Regular Expressions:

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string inputText = "This is an example text.";

        // Use a regular expression to match words
        Regex regex = new Regex(@"\b\w+\b");
        MatchCollection matches = regex.Matches(inputText);

        // Print each match
        foreach (Match match in matches)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(match.Value);
        }
    }
}

3. Custom Parsing Logic:

using System;
using System.Linq;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string inputText = "This is an example text.";

        // Custom parsing logic (e.g., split by space and remove punctuation)
        string[] words = inputText.Split(' ')
            .Select(word => word.Trim(new char[] { '.', ',', '!', '?' }))
            .ToArray();

        // Print each cleaned word
        foreach (string word in words)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(word);
        }
    }
}

Choose the method that best fits your specific use case. Custom parsing logic might be necessary for more complex scenarios. Make sure to handle edge cases and account for potential variations in the input text.

To simulate a click during scraping, you can use a headless browser automation library like Puppeteer for Node.js. Puppeteer provides a high-level API to control headless browsers, allowing you to automate tasks such as clicking on elements, filling out forms, and navigating through pages.

Here's a basic example of how you can use Puppeteer to simulate a click:

1. Install Puppeteer:

   • Install Puppeteer using npm:

npm install puppeteer

Write the Scraping Script:

• Create a Node.js script (e.g., scrape_with_click.js) with the following code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

async function scrapeWithClick() {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    try {
        // Navigate to the target URL
        await page.goto('https://example.com');

        // Wait for a specific selector to appear (replace with the selector of the element you want to click)
        const elementSelector = 'button#exampleButton';
        await page.waitForSelector(elementSelector);

        // Simulate a click on the specified element
        await page.click(elementSelector);

        // Wait for the page to settle (replace with additional logic if needed)
        await page.waitForTimeout(2000);

        // Extract and print information after the click
        const extractedInfo = await page.evaluate(() => {
            // Replace this with your logic to extract information from the clicked page
            return document.title;
        });

        console.log('Extracted information after click:', extractedInfo);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error during scraping:', error);
    } finally {
        // Close the browser
        await browser.close();
    }
}

// Run the scraping script
scrapeWithClick();

• • Replace 'https://example.com' with the URL you want to scrape.

  • Replace 'button#exampleButton' with the selector of the element you want to click.

• Run the Script:

  • Run the script using Node.js:

node scrape_with_click.js

This script uses Puppeteer to launch a headless browser, navigate to a specified URL, wait for a specific element to appear, simulate a click on that element, and then perform additional actions or extractions as needed.

Make sure to handle errors and adjust the script based on the structure of the website you are scraping.

Technically, a proxy is an ordinary computer or server connected to a network (local or Internet). It accepts traffic from the user, redirects it to the address that was specified in the request. And then receives the response from the server and transmits it to the user's equipment. That is, it is actually an intermediary.
