DuckDuckGo Proxy

There are special tools developed to check if a proxy is working. There are a large number of appropriate services and programs on the Internet. Any software that works in a general way should be excluded from their number. To use online checkers to check the quality and validity of a proxy, just specify your IP address and port number in the fields provided.

Proxy "tunneling" should be understood as the isolation of traffic from the user. It allows you to form a fully protected channel for data exchange, which will be isolated from all other traffic.

To add a custom method to a Selenium module, you can extend the existing Selenium class and add your method to the subclass. Here's an example in Python using Selenium WebDriver

Let's say you want to add a custom method named custom_method to the WebElement class in Selenium:

from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement import WebElement

# Define your custom method
def custom_method(self, arg1, arg2):
    # Your custom logic here
    print(f"Custom Method: {arg1}, {arg2}")

# Add the custom method to the WebElement class
WebElement.custom_method = custom_method

# Now, you can use the custom method on any WebElement instance
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@name='username']")
element.custom_method("arg1_value", "arg2_value")

In this example:

1. We import the WebElement class from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.
2. We define a custom method custom_method that takes two arguments (arg1 and arg2) and prints a message.
3. We add the custom method to the WebElement class by assigning it as an attribute (WebElement.custom_method).
4. We create a WebDriver instance and find a WebElement on the page using a locator (e.g., By.XPATH).
5. We call the custom method on the WebElement instance, passing the desired arguments.

This approach allows you to extend Selenium's classes with your custom methods. Keep in mind that modifying the core Selenium classes may have consequences, and you should be careful not to override existing methods or cause conflicts with future updates.

To view the proxy settings on your computer, you can follow these steps depending on the operating system you are using:

For Windows:
- Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
- Type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotes) in the Run dialog box and press Enter.
- In the Internet Properties window, go to the Connections tab.
- Click on the "LAN settings" button.
- In the LAN Settings window, you will see the proxy server settings. If there is a checkmark in the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" box, it means you are using a proxy server.

For macOS:
- Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
- Select "System Preferences" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on "Network" in the System Preferences window.
- Select the network connection you are using (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet) from the left pane.
- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- In the Advanced window, go to the "Proxies" tab to view the proxy settings.

Incoming and outgoing Internet speeds are important indicators of proxy performance because they directly influence the speed of downloading the required information. The value of the ping is important for estimating the speed - the lower the value, the better. You can find out the real speed of your proxy server with the help of proxy checker.
