SSH SOCKS Proxy

Both versions of the protocol, at first glance, are able to provide anonymity on the Internet, as well as bypass all kinds of blockages. In addition, they are not only suitable for online entertainment, but also for work (study). This is what unites them to some extent, but there are still more differences. These are primarily the number of IP addresses, the cost of rent, appearance, connection speed, ping, and security. The IPv4 protocol, developed in the 1980s, is a more outdated model with a number of significant problems, including inefficient routing.

To log into an account using Selenium, you need to locate the login form elements, enter the login credentials, and submit the form. The exact steps may vary depending on the website's structure, but here's a general example using C#:

Install the required NuGet packages:

Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.WebDriver -Version 3.141.0
Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI -Version 3.141.0

Create a method to log into an account:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System;

public static void LoginToAccount(IWebDriver driver, string username, string password)
{
    // Locate the username field
    IWebElement usernameField = driver.FindElement(By.Id("username"));
    usernameField.SendKeys(username);

    // Locate the password field
    IWebElement passwordField = driver.FindElement(By.Id("password"));
    passwordField.SendKeys(password);

    // Locate the login button and click it
    IWebElement loginButton = driver.FindElement(By.Id("login-button"));
    loginButton.Click();

    // Wait for the login process to complete (optional)
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
    wait.Until(d => d.FindElement(By.Id("logout-link")));
}

Use the LoginToAccount method in your test code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using System;

namespace SeleniumLoginExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set up the WebDriver
            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
            driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

            // Navigate to the login page
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com/login");

            // Wait for the login form to load
            WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
            IWebElement loginForm = wait.Until(x => x.Id == "login-form");

            // Log in to the account
            LoginToAccount(driver, "your_username", "your_password");

            // Perform any additional actions as needed

            // Close the browser
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

In this example, we first create a method called LoginToAccount that takes an IWebDriver instance, a username, and a password as input. Inside the method, we locate the username field, password field, and login button using their respective IDs, and then enter the credentials and click the login button.

In the test code, we set up the WebDriver, navigate to the login page, and wait for the login form to load. Then, we call the LoginToAccount method with the required credentials. After logging in, you can perform any additional actions as needed.

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com/login", "your_username", and "your_password" with the actual login page URL and your credentials.

- Choose "Enable proxy" and enter the proxy server address, port, and authentication credentials (if required).
- Save the settings and restart your TV if necessary.

webOS (LG Smart TV):
- Press the "Home" button on your remote control.
- Scroll up or down to "Settings" and select it.
- Choose "All Settings" or "General."
- Select "Network" or "Internet."

In data centers, proxies are used to provide IP to virtual servers. After all, one server there can be used by a dozen users at the same time. And each needs to be allocated its own IP and port. All this is done through proxies.
