WSUS Proxy

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.

On the PC you can use SOCKS5 proxies, for example, through the browser Firefox. There are such a function in the settings, you just need to activate it. The only nuance: the connection speed or ping indicators in this case may be slowed down.

Scraping a large number of web pages using JavaScript typically involves the use of a headless browser or a scraping library. Puppeteer is a popular headless browser library for Node.js that allows you to automate browser actions, including web scraping.

Here's a basic example using Puppeteer:

Install Puppeteer:

npm install puppeteer

Create a JavaScript script for web scraping:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

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

    // Array of URLs to scrape
    const urls = ['https://example.com/page1', 'https://example.com/page2', /* add more URLs */];

    for (const url of urls) {
        await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' });

        // Perform scraping actions here
        const title = await page.title();
        console.log(`Title of ${url}: ${title}`);

        // You can extract other information as needed

        // Add a delay to avoid being blocked (customize the delay based on your needs)
        await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
    }

    await browser.close();
}

scrapeWebPages();

Run the script:

node your-script.js

In this example:

• Puppeteer is used to launch a headless browser and open pages.
• The urls array contains the list of web pages to scrape. You can extend this array with the URLs you need.
• Inside the loop, you can perform scraping actions using Puppeteer functions. For example, extracting data using page.title().

Keep in mind the following:

• Be aware of the legality and terms of service for web scraping on the targeted websites.
• Respect the websites' robots.txt files and use delays between requests to avoid being blocked.
• Customize the scraping logic based on the structure of the web pages you are dealing with.

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.
