SSL Forward Proxy

To connect your iPhone to a proxy server, follow these steps:
Open the "Settings" section. Go to the "Wi-Fi" tab. Next to your access point, click on the "i" button. Click on "Proxy settings". Use the manual setting and specify the proxy data. To specify a login and password from the proxy you should enable the "Authentication" option. Save the settings.

To set up a proxy on your computer, you need to go through a simple procedure. If we're talking about Windows 10, you'll first need to open the "Settings" application and the "Network and Internet" section. Here, after opening the "Proxy Server" tab, find the column "Manual proxy server setup" just to the right and move the switch to the "On" position. Enter the IP address and the proxy port in the specified fields and click "Save".

Selenium is a powerful tool for automating web browsers, and it has various tools and bindings for different programming languages. If you are specifically interested in Selenium tools for JavaScript, you'll likely be working with the Selenium WebDriver bindings for JavaScript. Here are the key components and tools related to using Selenium with JavaScript

WebDriverJS (Selenium WebDriver for JavaScript)

WebDriverJS, also known as selenium-webdriver for JavaScript, is the official Selenium WebDriver binding for JavaScript. It allows you to write automated tests in JavaScript to control web browsers.

You can install WebDriverJS using npm:

npm install selenium-webdriver

Example code snippet using WebDriverJS

const { Builder, By, Key, until } = require('selenium-webdriver');

(async function example() {
  let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
  try {
    await driver.get('https://www.example.com');
    await driver.findElement(By.name('q')).sendKeys('webdriver', Key.RETURN);
    await driver.wait(until.titleIs('webdriver - Google Search'), 1000);
  } finally {
    await driver.quit();
  }
})();

Protractor

Protractor is an end-to-end testing framework specifically designed for Angular applications. It uses WebDriverJS internally and extends it to provide additional features for Angular applications.

Protractor can be installed using npm:

npm install -g protractor

Example Protractor configuration file:

exports.config = {
  seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  specs: ['example-spec.js']
};

WebdriverIO

WebdriverIO is another popular JavaScript framework for end-to-end testing. It is built on top of WebDriverJS and provides a simplified interface for interacting with browsers.

WebdriverIO can be installed using npm:

npm install webdriverio

Example WebdriverIO test script

const { remote } = require('webdriverio');

(async () => {
    const browser = await remote({
        capabilities: {
            browserName: 'chrome'
        }
    });

    await browser.url('https://www.example.com');
    const title = await browser.getTitle();
    console.log('Title:', title);

    await browser.deleteSession();
})();

Nightwatch.js

Nightwatch.js is a testing framework built on top of WebDriverJS that simplifies the process of writing and executing end-to-end tests.

Nightwatch.js can be installed using npm:

npm install nightwatch

Example Nightwatch.js configuration file

module.exports = {
  'Demo Test': function (browser) {
    browser
      .url('https://www.example.com')
      .waitForElementVisible('body')
      .assert.title('Example Domain')
      .end();
  }
};

If Selenium is not loading the specified browser profile, there are several possible reasons and solutions to investigate. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Check Profile Path:

   • Verify that the path to the specified browser profile is correct. Provide the absolute path to the profile directory when setting up the browser profile.

2. Ensure Browser Compatibility:

   • Make sure that the version of Selenium WebDriver you are using is compatible with the version of the browser. Compatibility issues can sometimes cause profile-related problems.

3. Use Browser-Specific Options:

   • Different browsers may have specific options for setting up a profile. For example, in Chrome, you can use user-data-dir to specify the user data directory (profile).

from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=/path/to/profile')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

• Profile Settings Conflict:

  • Check if there are conflicting settings in the specified profile that might interfere with Selenium. Manually inspect the profile directory to ensure it is in a clean state.

• Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:

  • If you are using an existing profile, clearing the browser cache and cookies might help. Create a clean profile or clear the existing one before running your Selenium script.

• Profile Locking:

  • Ensure that the specified profile is not locked by another instance of the browser. Make sure that no other browser instances are using the same profile concurrently.

• Browser Version Mismatch:

  • If you have recently updated your browser, there might be compatibility issues with the existing profile. Create a new profile or update the existing one to match the browser version.

• Handle Security Restrictions:

  • Some browsers, especially when used in automated testing, may impose security restrictions on loading specific profiles. Review browser settings or consider adjusting security settings to allow profile loading.

• Check for Selenium Updates:

  • Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Selenium WebDriver library. Updates may include fixes for profile-related issues.

• Logging and Debugging:

  • Enable browser and WebDriver logs to capture any error messages or warnings related to the profile. This can provide insights into what might be going wrong.

• Use Browser-Specific Drivers:

  • If you are using a specific browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox), make sure you are using the appropriate browser-specific WebDriver executable (ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver).

The messenger has bots that allow you to get a free proxy - @socks5_bot. First, run the bot and select a location to connect to get the IP address, username, password and port. Now, in "Settings", find the "Data and Disk" section. There, under "Proxy Settings" enter the server, port, password and login. If the setting will be made in the "Desktop", in the menu will have to find "Connection method", select "TGP through Socks5" and enter similar data.
