To connect a VPN extension to Selenium, you can follow these steps:

Install a VPN extension in your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).

Use Selenium to open the browser with the VPN extension enabled.

Connect to the VPN using the extension's API (if available) or by automating the extension's UI.

Here's an example using Python and Chrome

Install a VPN extension:

For this example, we'll use the "Holiday" VPN extension for Chrome. You can install it from the Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/holiday-vpn-unblock-webs/bhlhgkdgcbhbjnjlfhkjpjikfhjjlkpk

Open the browser with the VPN extension enabled:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
options.add_extension("path/to/holiday-vpn-unblock-webs.crx")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

Connect to the VPN using the extension's API (if available).

Currently, there is no public API for the "Holiday" VPN extension. In this case, you can automate the extension's UI to connect to the VPN.

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Locate the VPN connect button
connect_button = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#vpn-connect-button")

# Click the connect button
connect_button.click()

# Wait for the connection to be established
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.invisibility_of_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#vpn-connect-button"))

Note that this example assumes the VPN extension has a UI element with the ID vpn-connect-button. You'll need to inspect the extension's UI and update the CSS selector accordingly.

Keep in mind that using a VPN extension in Selenium might not be the most reliable or efficient way to simulate a user in a real-world scenario. VPNs can also introduce additional latency and may not be suitable for performance testing. Instead, consider using a proxy service or a VPN service with an API for more reliable and efficient testing.

It means a proxy server for devices that connect to the router via WiFi. It is also a remote server to let traffic through. For example, a user sends a request to Netflix from his smartphone through a proxy that is hosted in the UK. Netflix servers will "recognize" such a user as being from the UK (regardless of his actual location).

The easiest way is to install a program that redirects all traffic through a proxy server. And in iOS, this can be set up through the system settings. Some Android phones have a VPN item in the settings menu, which also allows you to use an individual proxy.

To check a proxy for blacklisting, it is necessary to use special tools developed for this purpose. Many proxy-checkers provide free online IP-address verification and provide detailed information related to the proxy servers security. To get it, just enter the IP address of the proxy and click on the "Verify" button.

Simply, in the connection properties of your PC or mobile device, you need to enter the data of the proxy server through which you will be connecting. In Windows, for example, this is done through "Settings", then "Network and Internet", and in the next window you should open the tab "Proxy server".
