Proxy For SEO

To configure a Socks5 proxy for Chrome in Selenium using Python, you can use the --proxy-server command-line option with the Socks5 proxy address. Here's an example using the webdriver.Chrome class in Python:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService

# Socks5 proxy configuration
socks5_proxy = "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"  # Replace with your actual Socks5 proxy address

# Configure Chrome options with proxy settings
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={socks5_proxy}')

# Create a Chrome WebDriver instance with the configured options
chrome_service = ChromeService(executable_path="path/to/chromedriver")  # Replace with the actual path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=chrome_service, options=chrome_options)

# Example: Navigate to a website using the configured proxy
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Perform other actions with the WebDriver as needed

# Close the browser window
driver.quit()

- Replace "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080" with the actual Socks5 proxy address you want to use.
- Download the ChromeDriver executable from the official ChromeDriver download page and provide the path to the executable in the executable_path parameter of ChromeService.
- Update the driver.get() method to navigate to the website you want.

Make sure to have the selenium library installed (pip install selenium) and ensure that the ChromeDriver version is compatible with the Chrome browser installed on your system.

Shared proxies should be understood as IPs and port numbers available to everyone. That is, many users can use them simultaneously. The most unreliable and slowest option.

To check the quality of a proxy server, you can use one of the proxy checkers. There are a lot of them on the Internet. For example, hidemy.name. On the page of the checker you need to specify the IP-address and port of the required proxy server.

If your proxy gives you a 504 error, it means the server failed to complete the request within the time period you specified. Refreshing the page may help. Another option is to switch to another browser. You can also use the incognito mode, pre-clearing the browser cache. Pay attention to plug-ins that can also cause this error.
