Scraping without libraries in Python typically involves making HTTP requests, parsing HTML (or other markup languages), and extracting data using basic string manipulation or regular expressions. However, it's important to note that using established libraries like requests for making HTTP requests and BeautifulSoup or lxml for parsing HTML is generally recommended due to their ease of use, reliability, and built-in features.

Here's a simple example of scraping without libraries, where we use Python's built-in urllib for making an HTTP request and then perform basic string manipulation to extract data. In this example, we'll scrape the title of a website:

import urllib.request

def scrape_website(url):
    try:
        # Make an HTTP request
        response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
        
        # Read the HTML content
        html_content = response.read().decode('utf-8')

        # Extract the title using string manipulation
        title_start = html_content.find('', title_start)
        title = html_content[title_start:title_end].strip()

        return title
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None

# Replace 'https://example.com' with the URL you want to scrape
url_to_scrape = 'https://example.com'
scraped_title = scrape_website(url_to_scrape)

if scraped_title:
    print(f"Scraped title: {scraped_title}")
else:
    print("Scraping failed.")

Keep in mind that scraping without libraries can quickly become complex as you need to handle various aspects such as handling redirects, managing cookies, dealing with different encodings, and more. Libraries like requests and BeautifulSoup abstract away many of these complexities and provide a more robust solution.

Using established libraries is generally recommended for web scraping due to the potential pitfalls and challenges involved in handling various edge cases on the web. Always ensure that your scraping activities comply with the website's terms of service and legal requirements.

To check if your proxy is working, you can perform a simple test by accessing a website through the proxy. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Open your web browser and navigate to a website that you can use to test your proxy connection. Websites like "http://www.whatismyip.com/" or "https://www.proxy-check.org/" are commonly used for this purpose.

2. If you're using a proxy server, you'll need to configure your browser or a proxy extension to use the proxy. You can usually find this setting in your browser's network settings or under the proxy settings.

3. Enter the proxy server address (IP address or hostname) and port number in the appropriate fields in your browser or proxy extension settings.

4. Save your changes and refresh the web page with the test site.

5. If the proxy is working correctly, the website should display your proxy's IP address or a different IP address than your original one. This indicates that the proxy is successfully routing your traffic.

6. If the website displays your original IP address, it means that the proxy is not working or not being used.

Open the "Settings" application via "Start" and go to "Network and Internet". Here, in the "Proxy" section, find the "Manual Proxy Configuration" column. Move the slider to "On" and carefully enter the IP address and port of the proxy, then click "Save".

To set up a proxy on your computer, you need to go through a simple procedure. If we're talking about Windows 10, you'll first need to open the "Settings" application and the "Network and Internet" section. Here, after opening the "Proxy Server" tab, find the column "Manual proxy server setup" just to the right and move the switch to the "On" position. Enter the IP address and the proxy port in the specified fields and click "Save".

Go to "Settings" of the torrent, and then in the settings menu, select the subsection "Connection", which contains network connection settings. Under "Proxy" choose the type of your proxy (Socks5 proxy is recommended), then enter the IP address and proxy port in the appropriate fields, then click "Change". Now everything is ready - the torrent works through a proxy server.
