What is a transparent proxy and how does it work?
A transparent proxy is a kind of forward proxy, because it forwards requests from your device to the internet. It's called "transparent" because it does not alter your request before forwarding it to the online resource you are trying to use. This means that sometimes you may not even know your traffic is being routed through a transparent proxy.

How to bypass CAPTCHA for web scraping
CAPTCHA systems are designed to look for patterns that distinguish bots from humans. By injecting randomness and human-like behavior into your scrapers actions, you make it much harder for these systems to tell the difference, reducing the chances of being blocked.

Forward vs. reverse proxies - What’s the difference?
When you navigate the internet, your device doesn’t always connect directly to the destination server. Instead, requests are often routed through a proxy before reaching their destination. Proxies come in two primary types: forward proxies and reverse proxies. A forward proxy sits between the client you’re using (for example, your web browser) and forwards its requests to the internet, while a reverse proxy sits in front of the destination server (for example, the server that holds a website’s data), and handles incoming requests.
