OWA Reverse Proxy

In the messenger settings, go to "Data and Drive". Click on "Proxy settings", and then, enabling the "Use proxy settings" tab, enter the server, port, username and password in the specially highlighted fields. If you are going to make settings in the Desktop version, you will need to go to the menu. There, in the "Connection method" item, click on "TSP via Socks5" and enter the required data.

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

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.

Disable proxy settings in Windows:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.

Type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotes) and press Enter to open the Internet Properties window.

In the Internet Properties window, click on the "Connections" tab.

Click on "Lan settings" in the bottom right corner of the window.

In the "Proxy Server" section, select "Automatically detect settings" and uncheck the box for "Use a proxy server for your LAN."

Click "OK" to save the changes and close the window.

Proxy "tunneling" should be understood as the isolation of traffic from the user. It allows you to form a fully protected channel for data exchange, which will be isolated from all other traffic.

The term "public" should be understood to mean open proxy servers. That is, they can be used by all users without exception. They can be insecure and are often quite overloaded, so the connection speed or response time when using public proxies can be very slow.
