Docker Pull Proxy

In the "System Settings" section, open the "Network" tab, and then, when you highlight the active connection, click "Advanced". Here, in the "Proxies" tab, tick only the HTTP proxy if you do not intend to use other types of proxies temporarily. Enter the address of your proxy server and its port in the designated fields and click "OK".

If you plan to use a proxy every day, it is recommended to pay attention to paid services. There, the connection is as reliable as possible, with no bandwidth limitations. However, the performance of numerous free proxies is not guaranteed.

In Selenium with Python, you can set the name of the downloaded file by using the set_preference() method on the Options object before initializing the WebDriver. Here's an example using Chrome:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

# Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
chrome_driver_path = "path/to/chromedriver"

# Set the preference to save downloaded files with a specific name pattern
options = Options()
options.add_argument("download.default_directory='path/to/download/folder'")
options.add_argument(f"download.download_path='path/to/download/folder'")
options.add_preference("download.filename_template", "%f - %r")

# Initialize the Chrome WebDriver with the specified options
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chrome_driver_path, options=options)

# Your Selenium code goes here

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

Replace path/to/chromedriver, path/to/download/folder, and %f - %r with the appropriate values for your setup. The %f placeholder is replaced by the file name, and the %r placeholder is replaced by the original file name.

This example sets the download directory and the filename template for downloaded files. When a file is downloaded, it will be saved with a name that includes the original file name and a unique identifier, separated by a dash.

Keep in mind that this approach sets the download preferences for the entire browser session. If you need to change the download preferences for a specific test, you can set them before the test runs and reset them afterward.

In the messenger settings, go to "Data and storage" and then, in the "Proxy settings" section, click "Add proxy". You can see whether a proxy is connected in Telegram by the presence of the shield icon located in the top menu bar.

You can check the validity of proxies by using special software and a proxy checker. These tools not only check if the proxy is working, but also inform you about possible blocking by various platforms and social networks. Online services (checkers) also provide information related to ping, speed, proxy anonymity level, and geo. The combination of all these data allows for the most objective assessment of a proxy server's performance.
