Hi, this is Pierluigi from The Web Scraping Club, a newsletter where you can find news, insights, and tutorials with real-world examples about web scraping.

Access to Paid Content, like the post series called “The LAB”, where we’ll go deep diving with code real-world cases ( view here as an example).

The Web Scraping Club is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Straight from Wikipedia, "In computer networking, a  proxy server is a server application that acts as an intermediary between a client requesting a resource and the server providing that resource". 

In other words, is a server application that stands between you and your target server: you can send a request to the target server through the proxy server, so the machine that sends the request to the target server is the proxy and not your client.

The target website has a sort of geo-fencing, so it shows data depending on the location of the IP address. This is a common case and choosing a proxy with an address belonging to the country we need the data from is quite a common case.
