ChrisTechTV Proxy

Most often it is used to substitute your real IP address. An example of when this is needed: watching shows on Netflix that are only available to US users. A proxy can be used to make a user logging in from anywhere in the world will be identified by the IP address as a US user. Another option is to test your site through a local web server. A proxy in this case is used to intercept all the traffic in order to analyze it further for errors and failures.

If you are interested in a quality and fast proxy server, do not look for it among the free options. All of them, although they seem to be profitable, in fact do not differ in duration of work and speed. It is recommended to buy quality proxies from reputable proxy service providers that are widely available on the Internet.

To configure a Socks5 proxy for Chrome in Selenium using Python, you can use the --proxy-server command-line option with the Socks5 proxy address. Here's an example using the webdriver.Chrome class in Python:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService

# Socks5 proxy configuration
socks5_proxy = "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"  # Replace with your actual Socks5 proxy address

# Configure Chrome options with proxy settings
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={socks5_proxy}')

# Create a Chrome WebDriver instance with the configured options
chrome_service = ChromeService(executable_path="path/to/chromedriver")  # Replace with the actual path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=chrome_service, options=chrome_options)

# Example: Navigate to a website using the configured proxy
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Perform other actions with the WebDriver as needed

# Close the browser window
driver.quit()

- Replace "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080" with the actual Socks5 proxy address you want to use.
- Download the ChromeDriver executable from the official ChromeDriver download page and provide the path to the executable in the executable_path parameter of ChromeService.
- Update the driver.get() method to navigate to the website you want.

Make sure to have the selenium library installed (pip install selenium) and ensure that the ChromeDriver version is compatible with the Chrome browser installed on your system.

Open the "Start" menu and type "Browser Properties" in the search box. Then, go to the "Connection" tab, click on "Network settings" and disable the use of the proxy server. Reboot Windows and check if your Internet connection works. If the problem persists, open the "Advanced" tab in the "Browser Properties" window and check the box next to "Delete personal settings", click "Reset" and restart your computer.

Rotary proxies are proxies that cyclically change their real IP address. This is used to make it harder to track their location. The port usually changes as well. How this happens depends on the software used on the proxy server.
