ModSecurity Reverse Proxy

In the settings bar (home screen), select "Network Settings" and then click on Ethernet. Here you should select the "Advanced Settings" option, which contains the "Proxy Server Settings" item. To further configure the proxy, select "Configure Manually", type in the proxy hostname and specify the port. Do not forget to list the domains that the proxy server should not use. You should leave this field empty if it does not exist. If the configuration process is successful, you will see the "Settings saved" notification.

To transfer requests session from Requests to Selenium, you can follow these steps:

First, import the necessary libraries:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from requests.sessions import Session

Create a new requests session and perform your requests:

req_session = Session()
response = req_session.get('https://example.com')

Now, create a new Selenium WebDriver instance and pass the requests session as a parameter:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://example.com')
req_session_cookies = req_session.cookies.get_dict()
driver.add_cookies(list(req_session_cookies.values()))

Use Selenium to interact with the web page:

search_box = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'search-box')))
search_box.send_keys('your search query')
search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

To continue using the same session for subsequent requests, you can create a new requests session with the cookies from the Selenium driver:

selenium_session_cookies = driver.get_cookies()
new_req_session = Session()
for cookie in selenium_session_cookies:
    new_req_session.cookies.set(cookie['name'], cookie['value'])

Now you can use the new_req_session to make new requests while maintaining the same session as the Selenium driver.

Remember to close the Selenium driver after you're done:

driver.quit()

To connect to a proxy server with a password, provide the proxy address, port, and authentication credentials (username and password) in your browser or application settings. For popular browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, follow these general steps:

Open the browser and go to its settings.
Locate the proxy settings section.
Enter the proxy server address, port, username, and password.
Save the settings.

To find out the port of the proxy server, you just need to use any browser (Yandex Browser, Opera, Google Chrome). Then you need to follow the algorithm:

Start the browser. Go to "Settings". In the search box enter the query "proxy". Click on "Proxy settings". In the window that opens, select "Network settings". This will open a tab with the IP address and port of the proxy server.

A proxy is responsible for forwarding traffic. Technically, it just copies the traffic and sends it to the Internet, but it also replaces various metadata (the type of equipment from which the request is sent, the port number, the IP address, and so on). Or it can be simply called a "mediator" in the computer network.
