noob here
well, i was thinking that besides the fact that many webhost have free trial, there would be the advantage that they’re niche vpn
With PHP you could send commands to client/server
The question is. Do people do this? Is it there anykind of measure webhosting companies take to regulate this?
I tried it but seems like php works slow doing this kind of tasks
The IP is only part of it. It depends on the site owners config, but usually they just send ppl with suspicious IPs or weird SSL handshakes through a “JS challange”. That means you get a site “checking your browser” or so, that uses some maybe invisible JS things like painting in a canvas, that most bots can’t do. If that diesn’t satisfy them 100%, you may get that checkbox that launches extra checks.
Only, if the site owner was ignorant, they may have decided to block your IP range directly. I’m working at a company where some of our customers actually blocked all russuian IPs completely, because they get a lot of attacks from there and can’t trade with them anyway, due to the sanctions. Another customer blocked China completely. But those are exceptional, because most don’t want native customers on vacation to get caught up in the block and therefore just use the challange.
