Brazy Proxies

The first thing you need to do to use a proxy in your browser is to make the necessary settings. In Google Chrome browser, go to "Network" and then find and click on "Change proxy settings". In the "Internet properties" window that opens, go to "Connection" and click on the "Network settings" button at the bottom. When a new window opens, check the "Use proxy server for local connections" box and the "Do not use proxy server for local addresses" box. Enter the proxy port and IP address in the corresponding fields, close the window and click "OK".

However, there are alternative approaches and bindings that allow you to use Selenium with C++. Here are a couple of options:

1. CppDriver:

   • CppDriver is a C++ implementation of the WebDriver protocol that allows you to interact with web browsers. It is not an official Selenium project but provides a way to use Selenium-like functionality in C++.

   GitHub Repository: CppDriver

   Keep in mind that the project may not be as actively maintained or feature-rich as official Selenium bindings for other languages.

2. WebDriver C++ Client Library (Unofficial):

   • There are unofficial C++ bindings or client libraries developed by the community. These libraries may provide a way to interact with WebDriver or Selenium-like functionality in C++. However, their usage and features may vary.

   GitHub Repository Example: webdriver-cpp

   Note: Unofficial bindings might not be as comprehensive or up-to-date as official Selenium bindings.

3. Use Selenium with C++ via External Libraries:

   • Another approach is to use C++ along with external libraries that can control browsers. For example, you might use C++ to control a headless browser like Chromium or automate interactions using browser automation libraries.

   Keep in mind that this approach may not provide the same level of abstraction and cross-browser compatibility as Selenium WebDriver.

Before choosing any of these options, carefully review the documentation, community support, and compatibility with your specific requirements. Since these projects are not officially supported by the Selenium project, they may have limitations and may not be as stable or feature-rich as Selenium WebDriver in other languages.

To view proxy settings on your computer, follow these steps based on your operating system:

Windows:

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on "Internet Options."
3. Go to the "Connections" tab and click "LAN settings."
4. Check the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" option to view the current proxy settings.

macOS:

1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click on "Network."
3. Select your active network connection (e.g., Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab to view the current proxy settings.

Most often Yandex bans only public proxies that can be used by many users at the same time. The main reason for this is the high probability of cyber-attacks. Proxies are often used for DDoS, which means artificially overloading the server by sending a large number of requests to it every second.

To set up a proxy on your computer, you need to go through a simple procedure. If we're talking about Windows 10, you'll first need to open the "Settings" application and the "Network and Internet" section. Here, after opening the "Proxy Server" tab, find the column "Manual proxy server setup" just to the right and move the switch to the "On" position. Enter the IP address and the proxy port in the specified fields and click "Save".
