To install the Selenium library in C# for Visual Studio, you can use the NuGet Package Manager, which is integrated into Visual Studio. Follow these steps to install Selenium in your C# project:

1. Open Visual Studio:

   • Launch Visual Studio and open your C# project.

2. Open the Package Manager Console:

   • Go to View -> Other Windows -> Package Manager Console to open the Package Manager Console.

3. Run the Install-Package Command:

   • In the Package Manager Console, run the following command to install the Selenium.WebDriver package:

Install-Package Selenium.WebDriver

• • Press Enter to execute the command. This will download and install the Selenium WebDriver package and its dependencies.

• Verify Installation:

  • After the installation is complete, you should see output indicating that the package has been installed successfully.

• Install Selenium.Support (Optional):

  • Depending on your requirements, you may also want to install Selenium.Support, which includes additional support classes and utilities for Selenium. Run the following command:

Install-Package Selenium.Support

Add Using Statements in Your Code:

• In your C# code file, add the following using statements at the top:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;  // Use the appropriate browser namespace (e.g., Firefox, Edge, etc.)

• • Choose the appropriate browser namespace based on the WebDriver you plan to use (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).

• Download WebDriver Executable (Optional):

  • If you are using a specific browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox), you need to download the corresponding WebDriver executable.

  • Place the WebDriver executable in a location accessible to your project.

• Instantiate WebDriver in Your Code:

  • In your C# code, instantiate the WebDriver using the downloaded WebDriver executable path. For example, for Chrome:

IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver("path/to/chromedriver");

8. • Replace "path/to/chromedriver" with the actual path to your ChromeDriver executable.

   • Ensure that you manage the WebDriver instance properly (e.g., closing it after use).

That's it! You have successfully installed the Selenium library in your C# project. You can now use the Selenium WebDriver to automate browser interactions in your C# application.

Proxy service settings refer to the configuration and settings related to the use of a proxy server. A proxy server is an intermediary server that sits between a client and a destination server, acting as an intermediary to request and deliver content on behalf of the client. The main purpose of a proxy server is to improve performance, enhance security, or bypass restrictions on accessing certain content.

Proxy service settings include the following components:

1. Proxy server address: The IP address or domain name of the proxy server that the client will use to route requests and receive responses.

2. Proxy server port: The port number on which the proxy server is listening for incoming connections.

3. Protocol: The communication protocol used by the proxy server, such as HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS.

4. Authentication: The credentials required to access the proxy server, including username and password, if the proxy server requires authentication.

5. Connection timeout: The maximum amount of time, in seconds, that the client will wait for a response from the proxy server before timing out and attempting to reconnect.

6. Socks version: The version of the SOCKS protocol used by the proxy server, such as SOCKS4 or SOCKS5.

7. Proxy type: The type of proxy server, such as HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS, that the client will use to route requests and receive responses.

8. Bypass list: A list of domains or IP addresses that the client will bypass the proxy server for, allowing direct access to those resources.

9. Connection encryption: The method used to encrypt the data transmitted between the client and the proxy server, such as SSL or TLS.

10. User-agent: The user-agent string that the client will use to identify itself to the proxy server and destination server.

To create a local proxy server using Privoxy, follow these steps:

1. Install Privoxy.
2. Edit the configuration file: Uncomment the listen-address, listen-port, forward-suffix, and destination-server lines.
3. Save and restart Privoxy.
4. Configure your browser to use the local proxy server.
5. Test the local proxy server.

Ensure you have proper security measures in place, as creating a local proxy server can have privacy implications.

A proxy server is a kind of "mediator" between your equipment and a remote server (or the whole Internet). It can be used, for example, to swap your real IP address for another one, to bypass blocking. Proxies can also be actively used to intercept traffic (e.g. when testing created web applications).

There are several options for its use: bypassing the blocking of websites, shopping in foreign online stores at regional (local) prices, access to a full library of media content, hiding your real IP-address.
