SwatchSeries Proxy

If you plan to use a proxy every day, it is recommended to pay attention to paid services. There, the connection is as reliable as possible, with no bandwidth limitations. However, the performance of numerous free proxies is not guaranteed.

Connecting to a Selenium Hub via a corporate proxy can be challenging, as the proxy may require authentication or have specific settings that need to be configured. To connect to the Selenium Hub through a corporate proxy, you'll need to configure the proxy settings in your Selenium client and Hub.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up a Selenium Hub and client with corporate proxy settings:

Configure the Selenium Hub:

First, you need to configure the Selenium Hub to use the corporate proxy. You can do this by modifying the Hub's configuration file (usually hub.yml or hub.json) and adding the proxy settings.

For example, if you're using the hub.yml file, add the following configuration:

proxy:
  type: http
  httpProxy: http://username:[email protected]:port
  nonProxyHosts: localhost, 127.0.0.1, .example.com

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy. The nonProxyHosts setting specifies a list of hosts that should not use the proxy.

Configure the Selenium client:

Next, configure the Selenium client to use the corporate proxy. You can do this by setting the proxy settings in your WebDriver configuration.

For example, in Python with the Chrome WebDriver, you can configure the proxy as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType

proxy = Proxy()
proxy.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
proxy.http_proxy = "http://username:[email protected]:port"
proxy.ssl_proxy = "http://username:[email protected]:port"

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--proxy-server=%s" % proxy.proxy)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.get('your_url')

# Rest of your code

driver.quit()

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy.

Start the Selenium Hub and connect the client:

Start the Selenium Hub and connect the client to the Hub using the appropriate configuration settings.

For example, if you're using the hub.yml file, start the Hub with the following command:

selenium-server-standalone jar hub.yml

Connect the client to the Hub using the appropriate configuration settings. For example, in Python, you can connect the client to the Hub as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver import WebDriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

desired_caps = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
desired_caps['proxy'] = {
    'httpProxy': 'http://username:[email protected]:port',
    'ftpProxy': 'http://username:[email protected]:port',
}

driver = WebDriver(desired_caps=desired_caps)
driver.get('your_url')

# Rest of your code

driver.quit()

Replace username, password, proxy.example.com, and port with the appropriate values for your corporate proxy.

By following these steps, you should be able to connect to a Selenium Hub via a corporate proxy and use the Selenium client to interact with webpages.

To disable the proxy in Microsoft Edge, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge: Locate the Microsoft Edge application on your computer and click on its icon to launch the browser.

2. Click on the three-dot menu: In the upper right corner of the Edge window, click on the three horizontal dots to open the menu.

6. Toggle off "Use secure DNS": In the VPN settings, locate the "Use secure DNS" toggle and switch it off. This will disable the proxy settings in Microsoft Edge.

7. Restart Edge: Close and reopen Microsoft Edge to apply the changes and ensure that the proxy is disabled.

Alternatively, you can also disable the proxy settings by using the following method:

1. Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the Microsoft Edge browser on your computer.

2. Press Ctrl+Shift+O: Press the Ctrl, Shift, and O keys simultaneously on your keyboard to open the Edge Developer Tools.

Proxy servers are needed for Telegram, so that they can substitute their IP address instead of the real one. This procedure makes it possible to avoid blocking and bypass the ban on the messenger in our country. There are three types of protocols that can be set up for Telegram: Socks5, HTTP and MTPROTO. As for the last protocol, its own applications are developed for it.

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.
