Residential Proxy API

The first thing to do is to find a suitable proxy server with an IP address and port. Then you should check whether the proxy works by means of a special program or an online service providing such services. The next step is to configure the type of browser you are going to use. The procedure of setting itself depends on the type of browser and does not take much time. After correctly entering the IP address, username and password of the proxy server, don't forget to save the changes you made.

The term "public" should be understood to mean open proxy servers. That is, they can be used by all users without exception. They can be insecure and are often quite overloaded, so the connection speed or response time when using public proxies can be very slow.

Selenium WebDriver does not directly create an Internet Explorer (IE) session but instead launches the IE browser. This is because WebDriver is designed to interact with the browser through its WebDriver API, which is different from the native browser session.

When you use Selenium WebDriver with Internet Explorer, it starts the IE browser in a new window, and then you can interact with the browser using the WebDriver API. This allows you to perform actions like navigating to a web page, finding elements, and interacting with them.

It's important to note that Internet Explorer is no longer recommended for use in production environments, and Microsoft has discontinued its development. Microsoft recommends using Microsoft Edge as a more modern and secure alternative. If you need to use Edge with Selenium, you can follow the same approach as with Internet Explorer, using the ChromeDriverService and ChromeOptions classes.

Create the first profile by specifying its name and selecting the desired configuration. The configuration is a non-repeating combination of different versions of the operating system and browser. After setting the language, open the "Network" tab and select the type of proxy (socks5 or https). Now it remains only to fill in the data in the highlighted fields to complete the installation of the proxy.

There are lots of ways to use them. For example, you can swap your real IP address location for an American one, thus getting the opportunity to watch Netflix at a bargain price. Or you can set up parsing traffic through a proxy to test the security of your web applications. Or you can create a proxy server on your local network that allows traffic through and blocks requests to certain sites.
