Did you read the part where there was a hosted, downloaded, config file that contained the target URLs? That doesn’t seem proxylike.

          "urlList": [
      {
        "url": "https://turkmenistanairlines.tm/tm/flights/search?_token=J8SxUX2Qwzltw4LiHsRHTCtfthgBYxf4hyI8oNly&search_type=internal&departPort=TAZ&arrivalPort=CRZ&tripType=rt&departDate=4%2F22%2F2023&arrivalDate=5%2F4%2F2023&adult=1&child=0&infant=0&is_cship=on",
        "method": "GET"
      },



My mistake, I looked at the article for 10 seconds before assuming that this app is no different than hundreds of other ones, apparently it is a rare outlier. At any rate, there are more effective ways to disrupt service if that was the goal.


Upvoted for honesty :)


Is it evident that it's not proxy? Even if it's not work like HTTP Proxy, still it could work as a sort of proxy service for scraping.
