Syn Proxy

In the Windows Settings menu, go to "Network and Internet". At the very bottom, on the left side, find the item "Proxy server" and uncheck it so that it is no longer used. It is also desirable to uncheck the item "Automatic detection of parameters" in the section "Automatic configuration". If this is not done, there is a chance that the proxy will continue to be used. Reboot your laptop.

To pass a Selenium WebDriver instance to a Python decorator, you can create a custom decorator that takes the WebDriver instance as an argument. Here's an example of how to do this:

First, create a custom decorator that accepts the WebDriver instance:

def webdriver_decorator(driver):
    def decorator(func):
        @functools.wraps(func)
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            return func(driver, *args, **kwargs)
        return wrapper
    return decorator

Create a function that takes the WebDriver instance as an argument and performs the desired action:

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

def my_function(driver, search_query):
    driver.get('https://example.com')
    search_box = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'search-box')))
    search_box.send_keys(search_query)
    search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

Apply the custom decorator to the function and pass the WebDriver instance:

@webdriver_decorator
def my_function_with_decorator(driver, search_query):
    return my_function(driver, search_query)

Now you can use the decorated function and pass the WebDriver instance:

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

search_results = my_function_with_decorator(driver, 'your search query')

In this example, the my_function_with_decorator function is the same as the my_function function, but it is wrapped by the webdriver_decorator. When you call my_function_with_decorator, you need to pass the WebDriver instance as the first argument.

To change the proxy settings on your PC, follow these steps for different operating systems:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type "inetcpl" and press Enter to open the Internet Properties window.
3. Go to the "Connections" tab, and click on "LAN settings."
4. In the LAN settings, uncheck the box next to "Use a proxy server for your LAN" if you want to disable the proxy or check the box and enter the proxy server address and port if you want to enable it.
6. Click "OK" to save your changes.

For macOS:

1. Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
2. Click "Network."
3. Select the network connection you want to change the proxy settings for (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab.
6. Configure the proxy settings by selecting the proxy type (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS) and entering the proxy server address and port.
7. Click "OK" and then "Apply" to save your changes.

For Linux:

1. Open the Terminal.
2. Enter the following command to edit the network configuration file: sudo nano /etc/environment
3. Find the line that starts with "http_proxy" and edit the value to include the proxy server address and port (e.g., "http_proxy=http://proxyserver:port").
4. Save the file and close the Terminal.
5. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

It means organizing a connection through several VPN-servers at once. It is used to protect confidential data as much as possible or to hide one's real IP address. This principle of connection is used, for example, in the TOR-browser. That is, when all traffic is sent immediately through a chain of proxy servers.

Before activating a proxy server in Opera, it is recommended that you clear your browsing history and cookies of sites. This is necessary to ensure that information about the computer is not transmitted during further connections. To do this, it is enough to follow the algorithm:

Open the browser.
Click on the opera icon in the upper left corner.
Hover your mouse cursor over the "History" item.
Use the option "Clear history of visits".
After that you need to specify parameters of the proxy server. To do this, perform the following actions:

Open your browser.
Click on the Opera icon in the top left corner.
Click on "Settings".
Select the "Advanced" option.
Scroll down to the "System" tab.
Click on "Open proxy settings for computer".
Click on "Network settings".
Activate the "Use a proxy server" option.
In the window that opens, specify the IP address of the proxy server. Enter the address in the field of the protocol to which the proxy server belongs. You can get this information from your provider.
Click "OK" to save your settings.
