In the case of Python crawlers, for example, it's as simple as that with the requests library + proxy IP:

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
    'https': 'http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}

resp = requests.get('destination URL', proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
print(resp.status_code)
