Ghost Proxy

Enter the settings using the gear icon (home screen) and click on it. Under "Wireless Networks", click on "Wi-Fi" and then click on "WiredSSID" and select "Change Network". Check the "Advanced" checkbox, and then select "Manual" for the proxy server. Click "Save" and close the settings.

There are several options for its use: bypassing the blocking of websites, shopping in foreign online stores at regional (local) prices, access to a full library of media content, hiding your real IP-address.

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.

A DNS server is a remote computer that receives a domain request from a user device. And it converts it into an IP address. Sometimes it is through the DNS-server that ISPs block sites. And DNS-proxy, respectively, allows you to bypass these restrictions completely.
