Proxy Snp

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.

It depends on the purpose for which you plan to work with proxies at all. Personally, one is enough for myself. But if you plan to do massive parsing, it may not be enough to have 100 pieces.

Managing extensions in Selenium involves adding, removing, or interacting with browser extensions during your automated testing or web scraping tasks. Selenium provides mechanisms to handle extensions in different browsers. Below are examples for managing extensions in Chrome and Firefox using Selenium.

Chrome

Adding an Extension:

from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_extension('/path/to/extension.crx')  # Replace with the path to your extension

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

Removing an Extension

Removing an extension is not directly supported in ChromeOptions. Instead, you can manually remove the extension directory after launching the browser.

Firefox

Adding an Extension:

from selenium import webdriver

firefox_options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
firefox_options.add_extension('/path/to/extension.xpi')  # Replace with the path to your extension

driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=firefox_options)

Removing an Extension

from selenium import webdriver
import os

firefox_options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
firefox_options.add_extension('/path/to/extension.xpi')  # Replace with the path to your extension

driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=firefox_options)

# After performing your tasks, remove the extension
os.remove('/path/to/extension.xpi')  # Replace with the path to your extension

Note:

Replace /path/to/extension.crx and /path/to/extension.xpi with the actual paths to your Chrome extension (CRX) and Firefox extension (XPI) files, respectively.

Ensure that the extension files are valid and compatible with the browser versions you are using.

Managing extensions is browser-specific. Chrome uses CRX files, while Firefox uses XPI files.

Adding extensions using these methods is done during the browser instance creation, so it should be done before calling driver.get().

Removing an extension may require additional steps based on your specific use case, such as removing the extension directory or modifying browser profiles.

Always check the documentation and terms of use for the extensions you are working with to ensure compliance with their licensing and usage terms.

In CentOS, if there is no graphical interface (from the terminal), proxy configuration is done through the export http_proxy=http://User:Pass@Proxy:Port/ command. Accordingly, User is the user, Pass is the password to identify you, Proxy is the IP address of the proxy, and Port is the port number. If you have DE, the configuration can be done via Network Manager (as in any other Linux distribution).

Proxy servers are needed for Telegram, so that they can substitute their IP address instead of the real one. This procedure makes it possible to avoid blocking and bypass the ban on the messenger in our country. There are three types of protocols that can be set up for Telegram: Socks5, HTTP and MTPROTO. As for the last protocol, its own applications are developed for it.
