USA Web Proxy Server

You can use Selenium WebDriver to find out the URL of the active tab in the browser. Here's an example using Python with Selenium:

from selenium import webdriver

# Create a WebDriver instance (assuming Chrome in this example)
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

try:
    # Navigate to a website
    driver.get("https://www.example.com")

    # Get the URL of the active tab
    current_url = driver.current_url
    print("URL of the active tab:", current_url)

    # Perform other actions as needed

finally:
    # Close the browser window
    driver.quit()

In this example:

• driver.get("https://www.example.com") navigates to a specific website.
• driver.current_url retrieves the URL of the currently active tab.

Make sure to replace "https://www.example.com" with the actual URL you want to navigate to.

Keep in mind that this method retrieves the URL of the currently active tab. If you have multiple tabs open and you want to switch between them, you can use the driver.window_handles method to get a list of window handles and then switch to the desired window. For example:

# Open a new tab or window
driver.execute_script("window.open('about:blank', '_blank');")

# Switch to the newly opened tab
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])

# Get the URL of the active tab
new_tab_url = driver.current_url
print("URL of the new tab:", new_tab_url)

This code opens a new tab, switches to it, and then retrieves the URL of the new tab.

In Selenium with Python, you can set the name of the downloaded file by using the set_preference() method on the Options object before initializing the WebDriver. Here's an example using Chrome:

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

# Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
chrome_driver_path = "path/to/chromedriver"

# Set the preference to save downloaded files with a specific name pattern
options = Options()
options.add_argument("download.default_directory='path/to/download/folder'")
options.add_argument(f"download.download_path='path/to/download/folder'")
options.add_preference("download.filename_template", "%f - %r")

# Initialize the Chrome WebDriver with the specified options
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chrome_driver_path, options=options)

# Your Selenium code goes here

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

Replace path/to/chromedriver, path/to/download/folder, and %f - %r with the appropriate values for your setup. The %f placeholder is replaced by the file name, and the %r placeholder is replaced by the original file name.

This example sets the download directory and the filename template for downloaded files. When a file is downloaded, it will be saved with a name that includes the original file name and a unique identifier, separated by a dash.

Keep in mind that this approach sets the download preferences for the entire browser session. If you need to change the download preferences for a specific test, you can set them before the test runs and reset them afterward.

To determine if your computer is using a proxy server, you can follow these steps for Windows and macOS:

For Windows:
- Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
- Type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotes) in the Run dialog box and press Enter.
- In the Internet Properties window, go to the Connections tab.
- Click on the "LAN settings" button.
- In the LAN Settings window, if there is a checkmark in the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" box, it means your computer is using a proxy server.

For macOS:
- Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
- Select "System Preferences" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on "Network" in the System Preferences window.
- Select the network connection you are using (e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet) from the left pane.
- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- In the Advanced window, go to the "Proxies" tab to see if there is any proxy settings configured for your network connection. If there are settings, it means your computer is using a proxy server.

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between the client and the requested Internet resource. It is assigned the role of a kind of gateway or filter, which is responsible for submitting a request, receiving the required information and providing it to the user. The proxy server, if necessary, can make changes in incoming and outgoing data, the nature of which will depend on the type of proxy and its settings.

Technically, ISP can block only some intermediary servers by IP-addresses. But it's impossible to block absolutely all VPN-servers, because there are so many of them and their addresses are constantly changing. Accordingly, in this case, you just need to use another VPN-server.
