Linkerd2 Proxy

A proxy pool is a database that includes addresses for multiple proxy servers. For example, each VPN service has one. And it "distributes" them in order to the connected users.

It depends on the purpose for which you plan to work with proxies at all. Personally, one is enough for myself. But if you plan to do massive parsing, it may not be enough to have 100 pieces.

Using Selenium in Android involves setting up an Android environment, choosing a suitable WebDriver, and writing scripts to automate actions on Android devices. Here are the general steps to get started:

1. Set Up an Android Environment:

   • Install Android Studio on your development machine.
   • Create an Android Virtual Device (AVD) or connect a physical Android device to your machine.

2. Install Appropriate WebDriver:

   • Depending on your requirements, choose a WebDriver that supports Android. Two common choices are:
     • UiAutomator2: An Android-specific WebDriver that works well for automating native apps.
     • Appium: A cross-platform automation tool that supports testing of native, hybrid, and mobile web applications on Android and iOS.

   For Appium, you can install it using Node.js and npm:

npm install -g appium

• Make sure to refer to the documentation of the WebDriver you choose for detailed installation instructions.

• Start Appium Server:

  • If you are using Appium, start the Appium server using the following command:

appium

Write Selenium Scripts:

• Write Selenium scripts in your preferred programming language (e.g., Java, Python) using the WebDriver API. Below is an example using Java with Appium:

import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import java.net.URL;

public class AndroidExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
        caps.setCapability("deviceName", "your_device_name");
        caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        caps.setCapability("appPackage", "com.example.app");
        caps.setCapability("appActivity", ".MainActivity");

        URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub");

        AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver<>(url, caps);

        // Your Selenium script...

        driver.quit();
    }
}

4. Adjust the capabilities, device name, app package, and app activity based on your application.

5. Run Selenium Scripts:

   • Run your Selenium scripts, and they should automate actions on the Android device or emulator.

Remember to refer to the documentation of the chosen WebDriver (UiAutomator2, Appium, etc.) and the Selenium client library for your programming language for more detailed instructions and features specific to Android automation.

In JavaScript with Selenium, you can save and reuse cookies using the WebDriver's manage().getCookies() and manage().addCookie() methods. Here's a simple example:

const { Builder } = require('selenium-webdriver');
const firefox = require('selenium-webdriver/firefox');

// Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
const driver = new Builder()
  .forBrowser('firefox')
  .setFirefoxOptions(new firefox.Options().headless())
  .build();

// Navigate to a webpage
async function navigateToPage() {
  await driver.get('https://example.com');
}

// Save cookies
async function saveCookies() {
  const cookies = await driver.manage().getCookies();
  // Save the cookies to a file or some storage mechanism
  // For simplicity, we'll just print them here
  console.log('Cookies:', cookies);
}

// Reuse cookies
async function reuseCookies(savedCookies) {
  // Delete existing cookies
  await driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

  // Add the saved cookies to the browser session
  for (const cookie of savedCookies) {
    await driver.manage().addCookie(cookie);
  }

  // Navigate to a page to apply the cookies
  await navigateToPage();
}

// Example usage
(async () => {
  await navigateToPage(); // Navigate to the page and set some initial cookies

  await saveCookies(); // Save the cookies

  // Close and reopen the browser or navigate to a different page
  // ...

  // Reuse the saved cookies
  await reuseCookies(savedCookies);
})();

The navigateToPage function navigates to a webpage and sets some initial cookies.

The saveCookies function retrieves the current cookies using manage().getCookies() and prints them. You would typically save them to a file or some storage mechanism.

The reuseCookies function deletes existing cookies, then adds the saved cookies back to the browser session using manage().addCookie(). It then navigates to a page to apply the cookies.

The example usage section demonstrates how to use these functions in a sequence.

Chromium does not support proxies in-house. There is a corresponding item in the menu, but clicking on it will open the regular proxy server settings in Windows or MacOS.
