A proxy can be used for anonymous web surfing. After all, the connection is made through an intermediate server. And all the sites visited by the user will see the IP address of the proxy server, not the user himself. It can also be used to access resources that are only available to the citizens of a particular country.

Most often Yandex bans only public proxies that can be used by many users at the same time. The main reason for this is the high probability of cyber-attacks. Proxies are often used for DDoS, which means artificially overloading the server by sending a large number of requests to it every second.

To find an element by its HTML code in Selenium, you can use the ExecuteScript method to execute JavaScript code that returns the element corresponding to the provided HTML code. Here's an example of how to do this using C#:

Install the required NuGet packages:

Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.WebDriver -Version 3.141.0
Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI -Version 3.141.0

Create a method to find an element by its HTML code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public static IWebElement FindElementByHtml(this IWebDriver driver, string htmlCode)
{
    // Execute JavaScript to create a new element with the provided HTML code
    var script = $@"var div = document.createElement('div'); div.innerHTML = arguments[0]; document.body.appendChild(div); return div.children[0];";
    var element = (IWebElement)driver.ExecuteScript(script, htmlCode);

    // Remove the created element from the DOM
    driver.ExecuteScript("document.body.removeChild(document.body.children[document.body.children.length - 1]);");

    return element;
}

Use the FindElementByHtml method in your test code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using System;

namespace SeleniumFindElementByHtmlExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set up the WebDriver
            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
            driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

            // Navigate to the target web page
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com");

            // Find an element by its HTML code
            IWebElement element = driver.FindElementByHtml(@"
                

                    
Example Heading
                    
Example paragraph text.
                
");

            // Perform any additional actions as needed

            // Close the browser
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

In this example, we first create a method called FindElementByHtml that takes an IWebDriver instance and a string containing the HTML code as input. Inside the method, we use the ExecuteScript method to execute JavaScript code that creates a new element with the provided HTML code, appends it to the document body, and returns the created element.

We then remove the created element from the DOM using another ExecuteScript call. The method returns the created element as an IWebElement.

In the test code, we set up the WebDriver, navigate to the target web page, and use the FindElementByHtml method to find an element by its HTML code. After finding the element, you can perform any additional actions as needed.

Remember to replace the HTML code in the FindElementByHtml method call with the actual HTML code you want to use.

To open proxy server settings on popular platforms, follow these general steps:

Open the browser or system settings.
Locate the network or connection settings section.
Find the proxy settings or proxy server options.
Enter the proxy server address, port, and authentication details if required.

The specific process varies depending on the platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS) and browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome) being used.

In Android to disable the proxy, you need to go to "Settings", then - "Connection and sharing", then - to "VPN". And then just deactivate the item. Many phones also provide for automatic disabling of proxies and VPNs when the device is rebooted. That is, if the user is difficult to understand the settings of the gadget, then you can trivially restart it through a long press the lock button (forced reboot).
