PRTG Proxy

There are many free VPN services. But it is not safe to use them. After all, they are just engaged in parsing. That is, they collect information about users. Most often - their IP-addresses, as well as text data (these are search queries and their personal information).

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.

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).

To pass a Selenium WebDriver instance to a Python decorator, you can create a custom decorator that takes the WebDriver instance as an argument. Here's an example of how to do this:

First, create a custom decorator that accepts the WebDriver instance:

def webdriver_decorator(driver):
    def decorator(func):
        @functools.wraps(func)
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            return func(driver, *args, **kwargs)
        return wrapper
    return decorator

Create a function that takes the WebDriver instance as an argument and performs the desired action:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

def my_function(driver, search_query):
    driver.get('https://example.com')
    search_box = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'search-box')))
    search_box.send_keys(search_query)
    search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

Apply the custom decorator to the function and pass the WebDriver instance:

@webdriver_decorator
def my_function_with_decorator(driver, search_query):
    return my_function(driver, search_query)

Now you can use the decorated function and pass the WebDriver instance:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://example.com')

search_results = my_function_with_decorator(driver, 'your search query')

In this example, the my_function_with_decorator function is the same as the my_function function, but it is wrapped by the webdriver_decorator. When you call my_function_with_decorator, you need to pass the WebDriver instance as the first argument.

It refers to a proxy that changes its IP address according to a set algorithm. This is done to minimize the risk of the proxy being recognized by web applications and to better ensure privacy.
