Proxy for 4Chan

4Chan is the most popular imageboard in the world. The site does not require registration. To reply and start topics, you don't even have to enter your username. The site allows maximum anonymity and is famous for its mild moderation. Even fake news and aggressive trolling can get away with it. Everyone uses the site for their own benefit. In any case, 4Chan is a treasure trove of information. Here's how the site defines itself: "4chan is an image-based message board where everyone can leave comments and share images. The 4chan collaborative community format is inspired by Futaba, one of the most popular forums in Japan. The boards focus on topics ranging from Japanese anime, manga and culture to video games, music and photography. Users do not need to register an account to participate in the community."

False anonymity at 4Chan

The administration of the site claims that it does not keep records of visitors' identities. Most people who post on 4Chan do so under the nickname "Anonymous" because the site does not force disclosure of personal information. There is a theory that the famous hacker group "Anonymous" was formed from the audience of the site.

However, this visitor anonymity that 4Chan supposedly provides turned out to be fictitious. It came to light in 2010 during the David Kernell trial. The evidence against him included 4Chan's audit logs, which included the IP addresses of website users. 4Chan turned the logs over to the FBI when it obtained a search warrant.

An IP address is enough to reveal a person's identity. That makes it crucial information that needs to be protected. So if you want to make sure no one knows you're logging into 4Chan - use a proxy server.

Problem with bans on 4Chan

Any user can post just about anything, because the standard of acceptability is low. Of course, moderators check posted content, and if they think someone has violated the rules, they can ban them by IP.

Nevertheless, you have to try hard to get banned on 4Chan for content. On the other hand, the service regularly bans for parsing. 4Chan has strong anti-spam and anti-bot protection. The use of VPN while parsing bans here more often, because they are easier to detect. 4Chan, like any treasure trove of information, is often used to collect data.

If you are going to use bots, you have to be reasonable. The first thing to know is that only private proxies with a clean IP address will do. Server proxies from a trusted vendor will do. It's simple: the 4Chan security system reacts to the number of requests that come from one IP address. Exceeding the internal limit raises suspicion and increases the risk of an IP ban. The security system will simply see that the user is making too many searches on the site. So many that it's uncharacteristically human. So it's probably bot activity, which 4Chan suppresses. Properly distributed search load on your proxies will keep you from bans and speed up the parsing of the site. That is, the more proxies request data from 4Chan server, the less they attract attention and the faster parsing will finish.
