Esafe Proxy

Start the program and add a template. Click on it twice to open a window. Here you need to specify the path to the file with the proxy and save the settings. Enter the following format in the file: HTTPS - 195.3.218.232:8000 - if the proxy is bound to your IP, or login:[email protected]:8000 - if you use a proxy with username and password authentication. Under "Settings" click on "Default", or fill everything in manually, and then confirm the changes you made.

The proxy settings in Zoom are configured through the regular Windows settings. To do this, you can use the command inetcpl.cpl in "Run". Next, you need to go to the "Connection" tab, click on "Network Setup". In the dialog box that opens, select "Proxy server" and set the required parameters. As a port, you can use 80 and 443.

While using Selenium for web automation, it's important to note that websites can detect the presence of automation tools, including Selenium. To reduce the chances of detection, you can take certain measures to make your Selenium-driven browser instance appear more like a regular user. Here are some techniques to hide Selenium from the browser

1. User Agent Spoofing

Change the user agent of the browser to mimic that of a real user. This can be done by setting the user agent string before launching the browser:

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

2. Window Size and Position

Set the window size and position to common values used by human users. This can be done using the set_window_size and set_window_position methods:

driver.set_window_size(1366, 768)
driver.set_window_position(0, 0)

3. Disable Browser Extensions

Disable browser extensions to make the browser instance more similar to a clean user profile:

options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")

4. Headless Mode

Run the browser in headless mode, which means it runs without a graphical user interface. Headless mode can be less likely to be detected:

options.add_argument("--headless")

5. Disable Images and CSS

Some automation detection mechanisms analyze whether images and CSS are loaded. You can disable them:

prefs = {"profile.managed_default_content_settings.images": 2, "profile.managed_default_content_settings.stylesheet": 2}
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)

6. Change Automation Flags

Some websites use JavaScript to detect automation. You can experiment with changing the values of WebDriver-related flags:

options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")

7. Use Proxies

Rotate IP addresses using proxies to mimic different users accessing the site.

Open the torrent and through the "Menu" enter the subsection "Connection". Under "Proxy" choose a proxy type (Socks5 is best). In the box "Proxy" put IP address of your proxy, and in the "Port" box, respectively, the port of your proxy. If you are going to use proxy authentication, you will have to give your name and password in the corresponding fields. Click "Apply".

Technically, a proxy is an ordinary computer or server connected to a network (local or Internet). It accepts traffic from the user, redirects it to the address that was specified in the request. And then receives the response from the server and transmits it to the user's equipment. That is, it is actually an intermediary.
