Reverse Proxy Firewall

When using a proxy, Google Chrome warns the user about it at startup. To connect directly, you must disable proxies at system level. That is, go to "Settings" Windows, then - "Network and Internet", in the section "Proxy server" disable the corresponding item.

Building a chain of proxies in Selenium involves configuring a WebDriver with a Proxy object that represents a chain of proxies. Here's an example using Python with Selenium and the Chrome WebDriver:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType

# Create a Proxy object for the first proxy in the chain
proxy1 = Proxy()
proxy1.http_proxy = "http://proxy1.example.com:8080"
proxy1.ssl_proxy = "http://proxy1.example.com:8080"
proxy1.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL

# Create a Proxy object for the second proxy in the chain
proxy2 = Proxy()
proxy2.http_proxy = "http://proxy2.example.com:8080"
proxy2.ssl_proxy = "http://proxy2.example.com:8080"
proxy2.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL

# Create a Proxy object for the final proxy in the chain
proxy3 = Proxy()
proxy3.http_proxy = "http://proxy3.example.com:8080"
proxy3.ssl_proxy = "http://proxy3.example.com:8080"
proxy3.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL

# Create a chain of proxies
proxies_chain = f"{proxy1.proxy, proxy2.proxy, proxy3.proxy}"

# Set up ChromeOptions with the proxy chain
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f"--proxy-server={proxies_chain}")

# Create the WebDriver with ChromeOptions
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

# Now you can use the driver with the proxy chain for your automation tasks
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Close the browser window when done
driver.quit()

In this example:

Three Proxy objects (proxy1, proxy2, and proxy3) are created, each representing a different proxy in the chain. You need to replace the placeholder URLs (http://proxy1.example.com:8080, etc.) with the actual proxy server URLs.

The ProxyType.MANUAL option is used to indicate that the proxy settings are configured manually.

The proxies_chain variable is a comma-separated string representing the chain of proxies.

The --proxy-server option is added to ChromeOptions to specify the proxy chain.

A Chrome WebDriver instance is created with the configured ChromeOptions.

A Duplex UDP Communicator is a communication system that allows for two-way communication using User Datagram Protocol (UDP). To wait for a response from the other side, you can implement a simple client-server model. Here's a high-level overview of how to achieve this:

1. Server-side:

- Bind a UDP socket to a specific port on the server.
- Start a loop that continuously listens for incoming UDP packets.
- Receive the UDP packet and extract the data.
- Process the received data and prepare a response.
- Send the response back to the client using the client's address and port extracted from the received packet.
- Continue listening for incoming packets.

2. Client-side:

- Bind a UDP socket to a specific port on the client.
- Send a UDP packet to the server's address and port.
- Start a loop that continuously listens for incoming UDP packets.
- Receive the UDP packet and extract the data.
- Process the received data and prepare a response.
- Send the response back to the server using the server's address and port extracted from the received packet.
- Continue listening for incoming packets.

To wait for a response from the other side, you can use a simple time-based approach or a more advanced synchronization mechanism.

3. Time-based approach:

- After sending a packet, wait for a specific amount of time before expecting a response.
- If a response is received within the waiting time, process the response and proceed.
- If the waiting time elapses without receiving a response, handle the timeout and take appropriate action (e.g., retry, abort, or notify the user).

4. Synchronization mechanism:

- Include a unique identifier in each packet sent.
- When the server receives a packet, it sends back a response with the same identifier.
- The client waits for a response with the same identifier before proceeding.
- If a response with the same identifier is received, process the response and proceed.
- If a response with a different identifier is received, discard it and continue waiting for the expected response.
- If no response is received within a specific time, handle the timeout and take appropriate action.

Using a synchronization mechanism is more reliable than a time-based approach, as it ensures that the client only processes responses from the expected server. However, both methods can be effective depending on the specific use case and network conditions.

To configure a proxy manually, you'll need to access the settings of the application or software you're using that requires a proxy server. The steps to configure a proxy manually will vary depending on the application or software. Here are some general steps for common applications:

For Web Browsers:

1. Open your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
2. Click on the menu button (usually three horizontal lines or three dots) and select "Settings" or "Options."
3. Look for a section related to "Network settings," "Proxy settings," or "Connections."
4. In the proxy settings, you'll find fields for the proxy server address and port. Enter the proxy server address and port provided by your proxy service.
5. If your proxy server requires authentication, enter the username and password in the respective fields.
6. Save your changes and close the settings window.

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" and press Enter to open the Internet Properties window.
3. Go to the "Connections" tab, and click on "LAN settings."
4. In the LAN settings, check the box next to "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if you have a proxy server configured. Enter the proxy server address and port in the appropriate fields.
5. If your proxy server requires authentication, check the box next to "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" and enter the local IP address of the website you want to access (e.g., "127.0.0.1" for localhost).
6. Save your changes and close the Internet Properties window.

For macOS:

1. Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
2. Click "Network."
3. Select the network connection you want to configure the proxy settings for (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab.
6. Check the box next to "HTTP proxy" or "HTTPS proxy" if you have a proxy server configured. Enter the proxy server address and port in the appropriate fields. 7. If your proxy server requires authentication, click the "Security" tab and check the box next to "Proxy server is secure." Enter the username and password in the respective fields.
8. Save your changes and close the Network preferences window.

Text parsing is the collection of text information, which is then converted either to form a log file or to perform the task set by the developer.
