RouterOS Reverse Proxy

"Work via VPN" means to connect to a site, an application or a remote server via a VPN server. That is, through an "intermediary" that not only hides the real IP address, but also additionally encrypts the traffic so that it cannot be "read".

To run Selenium WebDriver on a Virtual Private Server (VPS), you need to follow these steps:

Choose a VPS provider and set up your VPS instance. Some popular VPS providers include DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr.

Connect to your VPS instance using SSH (Secure Shell) and update the package list:

sudo apt-get update

Install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install -y chromedriver

Download the appropriate version of the ChromeDriver for your browser version. You can download it from the ChromeDriver download page.

Move the downloaded ChromeDriver binary to a directory in your PATH, for example, /usr/local/bin/:

sudo mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin/

Give the ChromeDriver binary executable permissions:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Install the required Python packages:

pip install selenium

Create a Python script to run Selenium WebDriver on your VPS instance:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://example.com')

search_box = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'search-box')))
search_box.send_keys('your search query')
search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

driver.quit()

Run the Python script on your VPS instance using SSH:

python your_script.py

To determine the country of a proxy server, you can follow these steps:

1. Check the proxy server's IP address: The IP address of a proxy server can provide information about its geographical location. You can use various online tools and services to determine the country associated with an IP address. One such tool is the "IP Geolocation" service, which can be found by searching for "IP Geolocation" on Google or other search engines.

2. Use a proxy list website: There are websites that maintain lists of proxy servers with their associated countries. These websites often categorize proxies by country, making it easy to find a proxy server from a specific country. Some popular proxy list websites include proxy-list.org, proxy-list.net, and proxysite.com.

3. Use a browser extension or plugin: There are browser extensions and plugins available for popular web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that can display the country of a proxy server. These extensions typically provide additional information about the proxy, such as its IP address, port, and protocol. Some popular extensions include Proxy SwitchyOmega for Chrome and FoxyProxy for Firefox.

4. Use a command-line tool: If you are comfortable using command-line tools, you can use an IP geolocation tool like "maxmind-db-reader" or "ipinfo" to determine the country of a proxy server based on its IP address. These tools require you to have the appropriate IP geolocation database files or API access.

5. Check the proxy server documentation: Some proxy servers, especially commercial or premium services, may provide information about their location in their documentation or on their website. Checking the provider's documentation or support resources can help you determine the country of the proxy server.

Data parsing in most cases refers to the collection of technical or other information. For example, a local proxy server can be used for parsing "log data". That is, information about the work of the site, the application, which in the future will be useful for developers to find and fix various bugs.

There are three types of proxies that work using three types of protocols. The weakest one is HTTP. It is long outdated and unsuitable for visiting web resources. HTTPS works through a secure protocol and is most often used for web surfing. SOCKS5 proxies are capable of working with the largest number of programs and protocols. They are also beneficial because they keep your IP address anonymous in the request header.
