title: Using Scrapy with VPN on Ubuntu
body: <p>So i am using Scrapy to crawl some websites and i want to increase my privacy on the internet and also avoid getting banned so i read that i could achieve that by using premium proxy lists like <a href="http://www.ninjasproxy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ninjasproxy.com/</a> or <a href="http://hidemyass.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hidemyass.com/</a> or VPN or Tor.</p>
  
  <p>From what i understood a paid VPN would be a good option like the one <a href="http://hidemyass.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hidemyass.com/</a> offers, but i can't seem to find any code that actually shows Scrapy integrating with a VPN like hidemyass.</p>
  
  <p>I only saw an example like <a href="https://github.com/aivarsk/scrapy-proxies" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/aivarsk/scrapy-proxies</a> that shows how to use proxy lists.</p>
  
  <p>How do i make Scrapy work with a VPN? If i can't are proxy lists good enough to maintain anonymity?</p>
