Rancher Proxy

HTTP proxies are used for surfing the Internet and working with social networks. However, when using this type of proxy, the user's IP address remains unprotected. At the same time, the connection speed remains high.
SOCKS proxy are designed to use programs and visit sites anonymously. Also this type of proxy allows bypassing the resources with proxy-server protection.
To sum up: SOCKS proxies are a more advanced development compared to HTTP. However, to use SOCKS, you must know how to configure your browser and use special utilities.

It means routing traffic from multiple devices through a single proxy server. In this way you can, for example, organize a local network in an office environment, but where all the traffic data can be viewed from the administrator's server.

Here are some general guidelines to approach scraping protected sites:

1. Check Terms of Service:

   • Review the terms of service, robots.txt file, and any other usage policies provided by the website. Some websites explicitly prohibit scraping.

2. Contact the Website Owner:

   • If you have a legitimate reason for scraping and the website provides contact information, consider reaching out to the website owner or administrator to request permission.

3. Use Official APIs:

   • Many websites offer official APIs that allow controlled access to their data. Using an API is a sanctioned and structured way to obtain information.

4. Simulate Human Behavior:

   • Mimic human behavior by setting appropriate headers, handling cookies, and introducing delays between requests. This helps avoid detection mechanisms that may identify automated bots.

5. Handle CAPTCHAs:

   • Some sites may use CAPTCHAs to prevent automated access. Implement mechanisms to handle CAPTCHAs if they are encountered.

6. Use Proxy Servers:

   • Rotate IP addresses using proxy servers to avoid IP-based blocking. However, be aware that some sites may block common proxy server IP ranges.

7. Avoid Aggressive Scraping:

   • Limit the frequency and volume of your requests to avoid overloading the server. Implement rate limiting and throttling to mimic human browsing behavior.

8. Stay Informed:

   • Monitor the website for changes in its structure or policies. Adjust your scraping strategy accordingly to adapt to any modifications.

To connect to a proxy server on Linux, you can use various methods depending on your needs and the applications you want to route through the proxy. Here's a general guide on how to connect to a proxy server on Linux using the proxychains tool:

Install proxychains:
First, you need to install the proxychains tool on your Linux system. You can install it using your package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu), you can install it using the following command:

sudo apt-get install proxychains

On Fedora-based systems, you can use:

sudo dnf install proxychains

On Arch Linux, you can use:

sudo pacman -S proxychains

Edit the proxychains.conf file:
After installing proxychains, you need to edit the proxychains.conf file to configure the proxy settings. You can find the proxychains.conf file in the /etc/proxychains directory. Open the file using a text editor like nano or vim:

sudo nano /etc/proxychains/proxychains.conf

Configure the proxy settings:
In the proxychains.conf file, you need to configure the proxy settings for your proxy server. Replace the example settings with your proxy server's IP address, port, and authentication details (if required) in the following format:

strict_chain
proxy_dns

[Proxy]
type            http
server          
port            
username        
password        

[ProxyDns]
server          
port            

Save the changes and exit the text editor.

Test the proxychains connection:
To test the connection to the proxy server using proxychains, you can use the ping command:

proxychains ping 

If the connection is successful, you should see a response from the target server.

Use proxychains with other applications:

Now that you have successfully connected to the proxy server using proxychains, you can use it with other applications by prefixing the application's command with proxychains. For example:

proxychains wget 

or

proxychains curl 

This will route the traffic from the specified application through the proxy server.

In video editing, the term "proxy" refers to the use of duplicate video with reduced resolution, which allows you to edit even on weak computers. The Adobe Premiere application itself does not allow you to set up a proxy connection.
