Ludacris Proxy

Most often it is used to substitute your real IP address. An example of when this is needed: watching shows on Netflix that are only available to US users. A proxy can be used to make a user logging in from anywhere in the world will be identified by the IP address as a US user. Another option is to test your site through a local web server. A proxy in this case is used to intercept all the traffic in order to analyze it further for errors and failures.

Building a chain of proxies in Selenium involves configuring a WebDriver with a Proxy object that represents a chain of proxies. Here's an example using Python with Selenium and the Chrome WebDriver:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType

# Create a Proxy object for the first proxy in the chain
proxy1 = Proxy()
proxy1.http_proxy = "http://proxy1.example.com:8080"
proxy1.ssl_proxy = "http://proxy1.example.com:8080"
proxy1.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL

# Create a Proxy object for the second proxy in the chain
proxy2 = Proxy()
proxy2.http_proxy = "http://proxy2.example.com:8080"
proxy2.ssl_proxy = "http://proxy2.example.com:8080"
proxy2.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL

# Create a Proxy object for the final proxy in the chain
proxy3 = Proxy()
proxy3.http_proxy = "http://proxy3.example.com:8080"
proxy3.ssl_proxy = "http://proxy3.example.com:8080"
proxy3.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL

# Create a chain of proxies
proxies_chain = f"{proxy1.proxy, proxy2.proxy, proxy3.proxy}"

# Set up ChromeOptions with the proxy chain
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f"--proxy-server={proxies_chain}")

# Create the WebDriver with ChromeOptions
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

# Now you can use the driver with the proxy chain for your automation tasks
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Close the browser window when done
driver.quit()

In this example:

Three Proxy objects (proxy1, proxy2, and proxy3) are created, each representing a different proxy in the chain. You need to replace the placeholder URLs (http://proxy1.example.com:8080, etc.) with the actual proxy server URLs.

The ProxyType.MANUAL option is used to indicate that the proxy settings are configured manually.

The proxies_chain variable is a comma-separated string representing the chain of proxies.

The --proxy-server option is added to ChromeOptions to specify the proxy chain.

A Chrome WebDriver instance is created with the configured ChromeOptions.

To change the proxy settings on your PC, follow these steps for different operating systems:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" and press Enter to open the Internet Properties window.
3. Go to the "Connections" tab, and click on "LAN settings."
4. In the LAN settings, uncheck the box next to "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if you want to disable the proxy or check the box and enter the proxy server address and port if you want to enable it.
6. Click "OK" to save your changes.

For macOS:

1. Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
2. Click "Network."
3. Select the network connection you want to change the proxy settings for (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab.
6. Configure the proxy settings by selecting the proxy type (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS) and entering the proxy server address and port.
7. Click "OK" and then "Apply" to save your changes.

For Linux:

1. Open the Terminal.
2. Enter the following command to edit the network configuration file: sudo nano /etc/environment
3. Find the line that starts with "http_proxy" and edit the value to include the proxy server address and port (e.g., "http_proxy=http://proxyserver:port").
4. Save the file and close the Terminal.
5. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

To get a token from local storage, you can use the JavaScript localStorage object, which allows you to store key-value pairs in the browser's local storage. Here's how to get a token from local storage:

Access the token: You can access the token stored in local storage by using the localStorage.getItem() method. This method takes a key as an argument and returns the value associated with that key.

For example, if you have stored a token with the key "authToken", you can retrieve it like this:

const token = localStorage.getItem("authToken");

Use the token: Once you have the token, you can use it in your application as needed. For example, you can include it in the Authorization header of your API requests:

const headers = {
  "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`,
  // other headers...
};

Remember that local storage is limited to string values, so if your token is an object or has special characters, you might need to encode or serialize it before storing it and then decode or deserialize it when retrieving it.

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.
