Proxy Scrab

Go to "Control Panel" and in "Small icons" mode, find the item "Browser properties", aka "Internet Options". In the "Connection" tab, click on "Network Settings", and then leave the item "Automatic detection of parameters" enabled in the window that opens, and disable everything else.

You can use Selenium WebDriver to find out the URL of the active tab in the browser. Here's an example using Python with Selenium:

from selenium import webdriver

# Create a WebDriver instance (assuming Chrome in this example)
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

try:
    # Navigate to a website
    driver.get("https://www.example.com")

    # Get the URL of the active tab
    current_url = driver.current_url
    print("URL of the active tab:", current_url)

    # Perform other actions as needed

finally:
    # Close the browser window
    driver.quit()

In this example:

• driver.get("https://www.example.com") navigates to a specific website.
• driver.current_url retrieves the URL of the currently active tab.

Make sure to replace "https://www.example.com" with the actual URL you want to navigate to.

Keep in mind that this method retrieves the URL of the currently active tab. If you have multiple tabs open and you want to switch between them, you can use the driver.window_handles method to get a list of window handles and then switch to the desired window. For example:

# Open a new tab or window
driver.execute_script("window.open('about:blank', '_blank');")

# Switch to the newly opened tab
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])

# Get the URL of the active tab
new_tab_url = driver.current_url
print("URL of the new tab:", new_tab_url)

This code opens a new tab, switches to it, and then retrieves the URL of the new tab.

Spring and Selenium are separate technologies with distinct purposes. Spring is a Java-based framework for building enterprise applications, while Selenium is a tool for automating web browsers for testing web applications.

Spring itself does not block System.in, and it is unlikely that Selenium would block System.in either, as Selenium primarily interacts with web browsers.

However, if your application uses Spring and Selenium together, it's possible that the combination of the two could block System.in under specific circumstances, such as when the application is running in an embedded server mode or if the test suite is running in a headless environment without a proper console.

To avoid blocking System.in, ensure that your application or test suite is configured to run in an environment that supports console input and output. If you're using an embedded server or a headless environment, you may need to use alternative logging mechanisms or debugging tools to interact with your application.

To set up a proxy on your computer, you need to go through a simple procedure. If we're talking about Windows 10, you'll first need to open the "Settings" application and the "Network and Internet" section. Here, after opening the "Proxy Server" tab, find the column "Manual proxy server setup" just to the right and move the switch to the "On" position. Enter the IP address and the proxy port in the specified fields and click "Save".

The main scenarios for using a proxy server: bypassing blocking, hiding the real IP, protection of confidential data when connecting to public WiFi access points, interaction with blocked applications, connection to closed portals, forums (which operate only in one country, region).
