U999 Proxy

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).

Paid proxies are definitely better and more reliable than free ones. How do you test them? You can simply use the Hidemy Name service. It also shows which protocols the service uses and how reliable the connection is.

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.

3. Select "Settings": From the menu, click on "Settings" to open the Settings pane.

4. Scroll down and click on "Privacy and services": In the Settings pane, scroll down and click on "Privacy and services" to expand the options.

5. Click on "VPN": Under the "Privacy and services" section, click on "VPN" to open the VPN settings.

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.

3. Click on the "Network" tab: In the Developer Tools window, click on the "Network" tab to view network-related settings.

4. Click on the "Disable proxy" checkbox: In the Network tab, locate the "Disable proxy" checkbox and click on it to disable the proxy settings in Microsoft Edge.

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

In Selenium, if you want to write text to a webpage outside of an input field (e.g., clicking on an element and writing text on the page), you can use the sendKeys() method or the Actions class. Here's an example using both approaches:

Using sendKeys() method:

from selenium import webdriver

# Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

# Navigate to a webpage
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Find an element on the page (you may need to adjust the locator strategy)
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("body")

# Use send_keys to write text to the element
element.send_keys("Hello, this is some text.")

# Close the browser window
driver.quit()

Using Actions class:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

# Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

# Navigate to a webpage
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Find an element on the page (you may need to adjust the locator strategy)
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("body")

# Use Actions class to click on the element and send keys
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.click(element).send_keys("Hello, this is some text.").perform()

# Close the browser window
driver.quit()

Choose the method that best suits your needs. The first example directly uses sendKeys() on the element representing the whole page body, while the second example uses the Actions class to perform a sequence of actions (clicking and sending keys).

If your proxy gives you a 504 error, it means the server failed to complete the request within the time period you specified. Refreshing the page may help. Another option is to switch to another browser. You can also use the incognito mode, pre-clearing the browser cache. Pay attention to plug-ins that can also cause this error.
