Octoparse is a web scraping service with which you can collect information from all over the web. The tool automatically extracts data from web resources and then structures it into spreadsheets - this is much more convenient than searching for information manually. But without a proxy, most likely, Octoparse will not bring much benefit. Let's figure out why.
Web scraping is not considered illegal, but many sites do not allow such activities and try to protect from services like Octoparse. Due to large data scraping, your IP address may end up blocked in Google and other web resources.
That's why you need a proxy server: it helps you be unnoticed on the network, hides your IP address, and replaces it with another. The actions of Octoparse will look like several people from different cities and countries visiting the sites at once.
The web scraper supports proxies, so you don't need any additional services or programs to set it up. You can do this in two ways: when you log in and when you create tasks. Let's take a look at each of these options below.
Now you know how to set up a proxy server for Octoparse. To scrape large amounts of information, use high-quality personal proxies. So you can avoid any blocking and get as much data as possible on the Internet.
