I Want to Do Web Surveys in Other Areas and a Friend Suggested I Use Residential Proxies, Is this Possible?

Preface

Whether or not to use Proxy Residential as opposed to other tools depends on who you are avoiding. Most of the time, you want to prevent your web pages from seeing the domain or IP you are connecting to, and proxies are enough for this, I recommend you to use Rotating residential proxies by NaProxy, or both NaProxy and Fingerprint Browser. If the proxies support it, you can also use it for name resolution, as we will see later with ESPN URLs. Other tools that add encryption require CPU cycles and may be slower.

Below is an example of code for the best residential proxies. The URL for ESPN is used as an example to show how to use proxies for name resolution and sending requests.

Using the requests library

python
import requests
 
Configure the proxies
proxy = {
   "http": "http://username:password@proxy_ip:proxy_port",
   "https": "http://username:password@proxy_ip:proxy_port"
}
 
Example ESPN URL
espn_url = "https://www.espn.com/"
 
Send a request using proxies
response = requests.get(espn_url, proxies=proxy)
 
Check if the request was successful
if response.status_code == 200:: "Successful request" = "Successful request".
   print("Successful access to ESPN")
Output the response content (e.g. page HTML)
   print(response.text)
print(response.text)
   print(f "Access failed, status code: {response.status_code}")

Using the pycurl library

python
import pycurl
from io import BytesIO
 
Configuring proxies
proxy = "http://username:password@proxy_ip:proxy_port"
 
Example ESPN URL
espn_url = "https://www.espn.com/"
 
Send the request using pycurl
buffer = BytesIO()
c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(c.URL, espn_url)
c.setopt(c.PROXY, proxy)
c.setopt(c.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_HTTP)
c.setopt(c.WRITEFUNCTION, buffer.write)
 
Set proxies for name resolution
c.setopt(c.RESOLVE, [
    'www.espn.com:80:proxy_ip',
    'www.espn.com:443:proxy_ip'
])
 
c.perform()
status_code = c.getinfo(pycurl.RESPONSE_CODE)
c.close()
 
Check if the request was successful
if status_code == 200.
   print("Successful access to ESPN")
   # Output the response (e.g. page HTML)
   print(buffer.getvalue().decode('utf-8'))
print(buffer.getvalue(.decode('utf-8')))
   print(f "Access failed, status code: {status_code}")

Code Explanation

1. Importing libraries:

  `requests` is a popular Python library for sending HTTP requests.

  `pycurl` is a powerful Python library for performing various network operations. 2.

2. Configure the proxies:

   In the `requests` example, configure the `proxy` dictionary.

   In the `pycurl` example, configure the `proxy` string.

3. Set the ESPN URL:

   python

    espn_url = "https://www.espn.com/"

    This is the URL of the ESPN you want to access.

4. Send the request and configure parsing:

Using the `requests` library, send an HTTP GET request via the `requests.get` method and specify the proxies using the `proxies` parameter.

Use the `pycurl` library to configure DNS resolution via the `c.setopt(c.RESOLVE, ...) ` Configure DNS resolution so that DNS requests pass through the proxies.

5. Check if the request was successful:

  Check if the status code of the response is 200 (indicating that the request was successful). If successful, print out the access success message and the HTML content of the response; otherwise, print out the failure status code.

In this way, you can ensure that all DNS requests also go through proxies, further enhancing anonymity and privacy protection.

Depending on the use case, proxies may be a good solution. It's called a "residential proxies". It's like an invisible super-assistant that can help you make money online and make your online activities more secure and efficient. Now, let me introduce how to make money with residential proxies in an easy to understand and fun way.
