Before starting

Before we begin, it’s important to get some proxies. We’ll need these later in the tutorial. Webshare is a great option because it offers 10 free premium proxies to anyone who signs up. You don’t even need to provide your credit card information.

 

To get started, go to the Webshare website and create an account. Once you’re signed up, you’ll receive your free proxies. To see their details navigate to the "Proxy List" section on your dashboard. These proxies come with 1GB of bandwidth per month and you can choose from multiple countries.
 

If you need more proxies or bandwidth, you can also explore Webshare’s paid plans. But for now, the free plan is enough to get you started.
