To hide the Chrome browser during Selenium C# tests, you can use the --headless flag when initializing the ChromeDriver. The --headless flag runs Chrome in headless mode, which means it will run in the background without a visible user interface.

Here's an example of how to set up a headless Chrome browser using Selenium C#:

First, install the necessary NuGet packages for Selenium WebDriver and ChromeDriver:

Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome
Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriver

Then, create a new C# class for your Selenium test, for example, HeadlessChromeExample.cs.

Write the test code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using System;

namespace HeadlessChromeExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
            string driverPath = "/path/to/chromedriver";

            // Create a new instance of the ChromeDriver with the --headless flag
            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(driverPath, new ChromeOptions()
            {
                // Set the headless mode to true
                Headless = true
            });

            // Navigate to the webpage
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://example.com");

            // Perform your test actions here

            // Close the WebDriver instance
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

Run the test:

You can run your test using your preferred C# IDE or by using the command line. If you're using a console application, you can run the test by pressing Ctrl + F5.

This should help you set up a headless Chrome browser using Selenium C# and execute your test without the browser being visible. Make sure to replace "/path/to/chromedriver" with the actual path to your ChromeDriver executable and "http://example.com" with the URL of the webpage you want to test.

Connecting to a Selenium Hub via a corporate proxy can be challenging, as the proxy may require authentication or have specific settings that need to be configured. To connect to the Selenium Hub through a corporate proxy, you'll need to configure the proxy settings in your Selenium client and Hub.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up a Selenium Hub and client with corporate proxy settings:

Configure the Selenium Hub:

First, you need to configure the Selenium Hub to use the corporate proxy. You can do this by modifying the Hub's configuration file (usually hub.yml or hub.json) and adding the proxy settings.

For example, if you're using the hub.yml file, add the following configuration:

proxy:
  type: http
  httpProxy: http://username:[email protected]:port
  nonProxyHosts: localhost, 127.0.0.1, .example.com

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy. The nonProxyHosts setting specifies a list of hosts that should not use the proxy.

Configure the Selenium client:

Next, configure the Selenium client to use the corporate proxy. You can do this by setting the proxy settings in your WebDriver configuration.

For example, in Python with the Chrome WebDriver, you can configure the proxy as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType

proxy = Proxy()
proxy.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
proxy.http_proxy = "http://username:[email protected]:port"
proxy.ssl_proxy = "http://username:[email protected]:port"

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--proxy-server=%s" % proxy.proxy)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.get('your_url')

# Rest of your code

driver.quit()

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy.

Start the Selenium Hub and connect the client:

Start the Selenium Hub and connect the client to the Hub using the appropriate configuration settings.

For example, if you're using the hub.yml file, start the Hub with the following command:

selenium-server-standalone jar hub.yml

Connect the client to the Hub using the appropriate configuration settings. For example, in Python, you can connect the client to the Hub as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver import WebDriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

desired_caps = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
desired_caps['proxy'] = {
    'httpProxy': 'http://username:[email protected]:port',
    'ftpProxy': 'http://username:[email protected]:port',
}

driver = WebDriver(desired_caps=desired_caps)
driver.get('your_url')

# Rest of your code

driver.quit()

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy.

By following these steps, you should be able to connect to a Selenium Hub via a corporate proxy and use the Selenium client to interact with webpages.

Install the Nginx web server and disable the virtual tail. Next, in the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory, create a reverse-proxy.conf file. The file should be saved after completing the installation and quit the editor by typing "wq. You can send information to other servers by using the ngx_http_proxy_module in the terminal. Now activate the directives and test Nginx and the reverse proxy.

Open the Chrome preferences screen, and then, expanding the advanced settings menu, click on the "Advanced" section. Open the "System" item, then on the tab that opens, click on "Open proxy settings for computer". The proxy settings interface will appear in front of you. This will be either the "System Settings" application or the "Browser Properties" application, depending on your operating system.

The most convenient way is to use online proxy checkers, i.e. services that test all connection capabilities, including supported protocols. For example, Hidemy.name or Securitylab. As for applications, you can recommend SocksChain or Open Proxy Checker.
