Go to settings, find the "Security" menu and click on "Unblock security settings". You will be prompted to agree to the changes, which you will need to confirm by clicking "Yes", which will unlock the "Allow unsupervised access" item. Now click on the text or checkbox to activate the function. On the computer from which you plan to connect remotely, you will need to enter the ID of the first computer and click on "Connect".

Connecting to a Selenium Hub via a corporate proxy can be challenging, as the proxy may require authentication or have specific settings that need to be configured. To connect to the Selenium Hub through a corporate proxy, you'll need to configure the proxy settings in your Selenium client and Hub.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up a Selenium Hub and client with corporate proxy settings:

Configure the Selenium Hub:

First, you need to configure the Selenium Hub to use the corporate proxy. You can do this by modifying the Hub's configuration file (usually hub.yml or hub.json) and adding the proxy settings.

For example, if you're using the hub.yml file, add the following configuration:

proxy:
  type: http
  httpProxy: http://username:[email protected]:port
  nonProxyHosts: localhost, 127.0.0.1, .example.com

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy. The nonProxyHosts setting specifies a list of hosts that should not use the proxy.

Configure the Selenium client:

Next, configure the Selenium client to use the corporate proxy. You can do this by setting the proxy settings in your WebDriver configuration.

For example, in Python with the Chrome WebDriver, you can configure the proxy as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType

proxy = Proxy()
proxy.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
proxy.http_proxy = "http://username:[email protected]:port"
proxy.ssl_proxy = "http://username:[email protected]:port"

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--proxy-server=%s" % proxy.proxy)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.get('your_url')

# Rest of your code

driver.quit()

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy.

Start the Selenium Hub and connect the client:

Start the Selenium Hub and connect the client to the Hub using the appropriate configuration settings.

For example, if you're using the hub.yml file, start the Hub with the following command:

selenium-server-standalone jar hub.yml

Connect the client to the Hub using the appropriate configuration settings. For example, in Python, you can connect the client to the Hub as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver import WebDriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

desired_caps = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
desired_caps['proxy'] = {
    'httpProxy': 'http://username:[email protected]:port',
    'ftpProxy': 'http://username:[email protected]:port',
}

driver = WebDriver(desired_caps=desired_caps)
driver.get('your_url')

# Rest of your code

driver.quit()

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy.

By following these steps, you should be able to connect to a Selenium Hub via a corporate proxy and use the Selenium client to interact with webpages.

Regular Windows functionality has a minimum of settings for proxies. Therefore, it is recommended to use third-party applications for this purpose. For example, Proxy Switcher or Proxifier. There you can not only set the server characteristics but also, for example, create a folder for packets of traffic that are transmitted through the local network.

The easiest way to do this is to use online proxy checking services. For example, Hidemy Name. It is free, displays technical data about the connection, and at the same time it also checks the ping.

Open the "Settings" application via "Start" and go to "Network and Internet". Here, in the "Proxy" section, find the "Manual Proxy Configuration" column. Move the slider to "On" and carefully enter the IP address and port of the proxy, then click "Save".
