Scrapers, proxies, isp "fears," white hat, black hat -- I'm connnnfused!...
There are scrapers (bot programs) I can purchase.
I can use them to gather leads (for example).
Some of them require the use of "proxies."
Proxies are... (I'm not sure) a path of using the internet that makes one anonymous and/or seem to be using another computer (?)
So, I guess what I am confused about is...
1) What exactly IS a proxy?
2) Where / how does one "get" a proxy?
3) How long are they "good" for?
4) Is using a proxy white or black hat?
5) WHY are proxies needed in some cases (and not in others)?
6) WHY are proxies needed EVER? I mean WHY would my isp CARE what I am "scraping" or how much I am doing it?
7) Is it the scraping that could trigger something bad happening (to me), or is it the mass contacting of the resulting leads that would trigger something bad?
8) WHAT EXACTLY is the "something bad" that could happen to me, if I use the bot in the "wrong" way, or without the proper "disguise?"
I really wish someone could clear all this up for me! It is quite confusing.
If I delve into a "dark" area, I wanna know what the risks are, and how to avoid them. If I wanna keep it all white hat, I wanna know exactly where the BORDERLINES are!!!
As it stands now, I am confused!!
