Proxy Server Details

The ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium' error indicates that Python cannot find the Selenium module in your current environment. To fix this issue, you can follow these steps

1. Install Selenium

Open your terminal or command prompt.

Run the following command to install Selenium using pip:

pip install selenium

Make sure you are running this command in the same environment where your Python script is intended to run.

2. Check Python Version

Ensure that you are using the correct Python version and that you are installing Selenium for that specific version. You can check your Python version by running:

python --version

Ensure that the pip command corresponds to the version of Python you are using.

3. Check Virtual Environment (if applicable)

If you are using a virtual environment, make sure it is activated. Install Selenium after activating the virtual environment.

# Activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/Mac
.\venv\Scripts\activate   # Windows

# Install Selenium
pip install selenium

4. Check Project Interpreter in IDE

If you are using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as PyCharm, make sure that the project interpreter is correctly set to the Python environment where Selenium is installed. You can check and set the interpreter in the IDE settings.

5. Recreate Virtual Environment (if applicable)

If you are still facing issues, you may consider recreating the virtual environment. Deactivate the current virtual environment, delete the existing one, and create a new virtual environment. Activate the new virtual environment and install Selenium.

6. Check System PATH

Ensure that the directory containing the Python executable and scripts is included in your system's PATH environment variable. This allows the Python interpreter to be found when executing commands.

7. Check for Typos

Double-check your code for any typos or mistakes in the import statement. Ensure that you are using the correct casing and spelling for the module name.

After following these steps, try running your Python script again. The ModuleNotFoundError should be resolved if Selenium is successfully installed in your Python environment. If the issue persists, there might be an issue with your Python environment or project configuration that requires further investigation.

You can check it with the ping command from the command line in Windows. It is enough to enter it, with a space - the data of the proxy server (including the number of the port used) and press Enter. The reply message will tell you whether or not you have received a reply from the remote server. If not, the proxy is unavailable, respectively.

On smartphones, when a proxy is turned on, the corresponding indicator (the "VPN" icon) appears in the status bar. In Windows you have to go to "Settings", open "Network and Internet". Under "Proxy Server", if the item "Manual" is activated, it means that the proxy is engaged right now.

Such proxy redirects requests from clients to different servers (globally or within a single local network). It can be used for load balancing in different Internet services, for testing web applications, for secured access to local network servers (all "non-client" traffic is ignored).

The easiest way to set up a home proxy server is to install a router that supports this function. Then get the proxy data (provided by the service in which it is "rented") and enter it in the router settings. If there is no need for a common proxy (for all devices at once), then it should be configured separately for each device with the help of the utilities integrated in the OS for changing the connection properties.
