Synology Reverse Proxy

To install a proxy server in Google Chrome, you must do the following steps:

Open the browser.
Click the "?" icon in the upper right corner.
Go to "Settings".
Select the "Advanced" option.
Click the "System" tab.
Click on "Open proxy settings for your computer".
Click on "Network settings".
Activate the "Use proxy server" option.
In the tab that opens, specify the IP address of the proxy server. You must enter the address in the field of the protocol to which the proxy server belongs. You can get this information from the provider. Click the "OK" button to save your settings.

While using Selenium for web automation, it's important to note that websites can detect the presence of automation tools, including Selenium. To reduce the chances of detection, you can take certain measures to make your Selenium-driven browser instance appear more like a regular user. Here are some techniques to hide Selenium from the browser

1. User Agent Spoofing

Change the user agent of the browser to mimic that of a real user. This can be done by setting the user agent string before launching the browser:

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

2. Window Size and Position

Set the window size and position to common values used by human users. This can be done using the set_window_size and set_window_position methods:

driver.set_window_size(1366, 768)
driver.set_window_position(0, 0)

3. Disable Browser Extensions

Disable browser extensions to make the browser instance more similar to a clean user profile:

options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")

4. Headless Mode

Run the browser in headless mode, which means it runs without a graphical user interface. Headless mode can be less likely to be detected:

options.add_argument("--headless")

5. Disable Images and CSS

Some automation detection mechanisms analyze whether images and CSS are loaded. You can disable them:

prefs = {"profile.managed_default_content_settings.images": 2, "profile.managed_default_content_settings.stylesheet": 2}
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)

6. Change Automation Flags

Some websites use JavaScript to detect automation. You can experiment with changing the values of WebDriver-related flags:

options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")

7. Use Proxies

Rotate IP addresses using proxies to mimic different users accessing the site.

The easiest way is to try to open any site or application that requires an Internet connection. If the data download goes well, then the VPN is working properly. If there is a "No connection" error, then the VPN is not working properly for some reason.

If you are interested in a quality and fast proxy server, do not look for it among the free options. All of them, although they seem to be profitable, in fact do not differ in duration of work and speed. It is recommended to buy quality proxies from reputable proxy service providers that are widely available on the Internet.

Go to "Settings" of the torrent, and then in the settings menu, select the subsection "Connection", which contains network connection settings. Under "Proxy" choose the type of your proxy (Socks5 proxy is recommended), then enter the IP address and proxy port in the appropriate fields, then click "Change". Now everything is ready - the torrent works through a proxy server.
