Proxy

A proxy acts as an intermediary between your scraper and the target website.
It helps you:

• Mask your real IP address
• Avoid IP bans during large scraping tasks
• Access geo-restricted or localized content

MrScraper provides both built-in location-based proxies and custom proxy support, giving you full flexibility depending on your scraping needs.
