Jump to 5:15 for the code on how to build a proxy

Can we use http to mask our data usage

For example to make all data usage seem to come from YouTube

[joeljoy]

I'm not getting my http request hit the proxy. Only localhost:8000 reaches the proxy. I followed the same code you did in a Mac. What could I have missed?

[andreighita]

Great work, keep it going. You were borned to teach.
I have a question: What app do you use to create the diagrams that you use at the beginning of your videos?

[glabett]

My localhost connection refused to connect it says on chrome. Please help.

Zeus Proxy has proven particularly useful for web scraping, crawling, and bulk account registration tasks.

[danieldelgado]

Could you maybe do a video on how to write an http reverse proxy in python please?

[jacksparrw]

omg that is amazing! I'm use this for keeping track of my cookies!

I am just wondering, is changing your proxy through a code ( batch file ) possible. Like you have a list of proxies and you want to change them through a bat (batch) script would it work?

[DennisSmdFreefightTrainer]

Explained it (with code) so simple that's so genius! Thx so much Sir

[saad.]

Thank you Hussien all your videos are great! Was there a video about Reverse Proxy on Apache? Also a LoadBalancer on apache would be great!

[Jayden-czdw]

Is this how a DNS is able to host multiple websites, by encapsulating/adding another IP address? Or am I completely off topic?

[ethicalhackingterminal]

Have a nice 2023! I used to visit a https site but your proxy in firefox doesn't let me visit it any more. Is it a http and not a https?

[behnamparsaeifard]

great video. What if we want to pass the HTML response to the client through proxy?

[bhumit]

Balloonie ah you made me remember Phineas and ferb

[rcoder]

@Hussein how can we change the request body (content) in the proxy server and then make a post request on behalf of our proxy

[cdxer]

Please show how to make it work for HTTPS

[Odsku]
