Strato Proxy

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between the client and the requested Internet resource. It is assigned the role of a kind of gateway or filter, which is responsible for submitting a request, receiving the required information and providing it to the user. The proxy server, if necessary, can make changes in incoming and outgoing data, the nature of which will depend on the type of proxy and its settings.

Disabling popups using Selenium can be done by interacting with the popup elements or by using JavaScript to close them. Here's an example using Python and Chrome:

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

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

# Locate the popup element, if applicable
# For example, if the popup has a button with the ID "close-button"
popup_button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "close-button")

# Click the popup button to close the popup
popup_button.click()

# Alternatively, use JavaScript to close the popup
# driver.execute_script("window.close();")

In this example, the script locates the popup button (if applicable) and clicks on it to close the popup. If the popup does not have a specific button or element to close it, you can use JavaScript to close the popup:

driver.execute_script("window.close();")

This script will close the current window, effectively closing the popup. Note that using JavaScript to close a popup might not work in all cases, as some websites might have additional logic to prevent the popup from being closed programmatically.

Keep in mind that some websites might have multiple popups or modal windows. In such cases, you may need to modify the script to handle each popup individually or use a loop to close all popups.

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com" and "close-button" with the actual values for the website you are working with. Also, ensure that the browser driver (e.g., ChromeDriver for Google Chrome) is installed and properly configured in your environment.

In Selenium with Python, you can set the name of the downloaded file by using the set_preference() method on the Options object before initializing the WebDriver. Here's an example using Chrome:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

# Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
chrome_driver_path = "path/to/chromedriver"

# Set the preference to save downloaded files with a specific name pattern
options = Options()
options.add_argument("download.default_directory='path/to/download/folder'")
options.add_argument(f"download.download_path='path/to/download/folder'")
options.add_preference("download.filename_template", "%f - %r")

# Initialize the Chrome WebDriver with the specified options
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chrome_driver_path, options=options)

# Your Selenium code goes here

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

Replace path/to/chromedriver, path/to/download/folder, and %f - %r with the appropriate values for your setup. The %f placeholder is replaced by the file name, and the %r placeholder is replaced by the original file name.

This example sets the download directory and the filename template for downloaded files. When a file is downloaded, it will be saved with a name that includes the original file name and a unique identifier, separated by a dash.

Keep in mind that this approach sets the download preferences for the entire browser session. If you need to change the download preferences for a specific test, you can set them before the test runs and reset them afterward.

It means routing traffic from multiple devices through a single proxy server. In this way you can, for example, organize a local network in an office environment, but where all the traffic data can be viewed from the administrator's server.

Although free proxies are popular, they are far from being flawless in their work. Many of their IP addresses are blacklisted by popular resources, and the data transfer speed and stability are very unreliable. When choosing a proxy, keep in mind that the new version of IPv6 is not supported by most websites. Note also that proxies are divided into private and public, statistical and dynamic, and support different network protocols.
