Error 500 usually indicates an internal server error. When you're getting this error while querying /wd/hub/sessions to Docker Selenium, it might be due to several reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Check logs: Inspect the logs of the Selenium server container to get more information about the error. You can do this by running the following command:

docker logs 

Replace with the actual name or ID of your Selenium server container.

Verify configuration: Ensure that your Selenium server configuration is correct. Make sure that the hub and node containers are properly set up and can communicate with each other. Check the port mappings and network settings.

Update versions: Make sure you are using compatible versions of Selenium server, WebDriver, and any other related libraries or tools. Sometimes, compatibility issues can cause unexpected errors.

Resource constraints: Check if your system has enough resources (CPU, memory, and disk space) to run the Selenium server and nodes. If your system is running out of resources, it might cause the server to return an error.

Firewall or network issues: Ensure that there are no firewall rules or network configurations that might be blocking the communication between the hub and node containers.

Restart containers: If none of the above steps help, try restarting the Selenium server and node containers. This can sometimes resolve temporary issues.

If you continue to face the issue, please provide more information about your setup, including the versions of Selenium server, WebDriver, and any other related libraries or tools you are using. This will help in providing more specific guidance to resolve the issue.

To create your own proxy server, you can use open-source software such as Privoxy or Squid. Here's a step-by-step guide using Privoxy:

Install Privoxy: Download the latest version of Privoxy from the official website (https://www.privoxy.org/download/) and install it on your computer. The installation process varies depending on your operating system.

Configure Privoxy: After installing Privoxy, open the configuration file, usually located at /etc/privoxy/config.txt on Linux or C:\Program Files\Privoxy\config\config.txt on Windows. You can also find the configuration file in the installation directory.

Edit the configuration file: Open the configuration file in a text editor and make the following changes:

Uncomment the following line by removing the # symbol at the beginning:

listen-address 0.0.0.0

Uncomment the following line and change the port number if desired (e.g., 8118):

listen-port 8118

Uncomment the following line to enable HTTPS support:

forward-suffix .privoxy

Add the following line to forward requests to a specific destination server (replace with the desired server's address):

forward-suffix 

Save the configuration file and restart Privoxy: Close the text editor and restart Privoxy to apply the changes. On Linux, you can use the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart

On Windows, locate the Privoxy service in the Windows Services list and restart it.

Test your proxy server: Open a web browser and configure it to use your new proxy server (e.g., http://localhost:8118). Test by accessing a website to ensure that the proxy server is working correctly.

Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. HTTP is faster because it supports caching. And SOCKS provides better anonymity because it hides the headers of requested pages.

When choosing a proxy through which to connect to Skype, pay attention to the stability of its work, the level of anonymity and low load that exceeds the final speed of the connection. Launch the Skype application and open the context menu "Tools". Through the "Advanced" tab, go to "Connection" to open the "Change settings" tab. Here, in the special form, specify the IP address and port, and then click "Save" and restart Skype.
