TrackersPrivados Proxy

Open the "Browser Properties" in the control panel, in the "Connections" section of the opened window select "Network Settings". Remove the check mark from the "Use proxy" item, click "OK".

A proxy is just used to bypass torrent download blocking through your ISP's network. Separately, the proxy server can block the host, that is, the owner of the site where the torrent files are posted. But it happens mostly due to malicious violations of the rules for using such a resource (for example, "cheating" rating).

Yes, it is possible to use Selenium without opening a visible browser window by using headless mode. Headless mode allows the browser to run in the background without displaying the graphical user interface. This can be useful for running automated tests or web scraping processes without the overhead of a visible browser.

Here's an example of how to use headless mode with Selenium in Python:

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

# Create ChromeOptions and set headless mode
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')

# Create WebDriver instance with headless mode
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

# Your Selenium script...

# Close the browser when done
driver.quit()

In this example:

chrome_options.add_argument('--headless') is used to enable headless mode for Chrome.

You can apply a similar approach for other browsers like Firefox:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

# Create FirefoxOptions and set headless mode
firefox_options = Options()
firefox_options.headless = True

# Create WebDriver instance with headless mode
driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=firefox_options)

# Your Selenium script...

# Close the browser when done
driver.quit()

Headless mode is beneficial for scenarios where you don't need to visually inspect the browser while the script is running, and it can also help in improving the performance of your automated processes. Keep in mind that certain actions, especially those related to rendering and interaction with the visible browser, may behave differently in headless mode.

VPN is considered a more advanced technology for anonymization on the Internet. The main (but not the only) difference between VPN is the encryption of all traffic. But this decreases the connection speed and also increases the response time of the remote server. A proxy works slightly faster in this respect.

The easiest way to set up a home proxy server is to install a router that supports this function. Then get the proxy data (provided by the service in which it is "rented") and enter it in the router settings. If there is no need for a common proxy (for all devices at once), then it should be configured separately for each device with the help of the utilities integrated in the OS for changing the connection properties.
