To enter the browser in normal mode via Selenium WebDriver, you need to set the desired capabilities for the browser you want to use. Here's an example of how to do this in Python:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

# Set the desired capabilities for the browser
desired_caps = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
desired_caps['browserName'] = 'chrome'
desired_caps['version'] = 'latest'

# Initialize the WebDriver with the desired capabilities
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=desired_caps)

# Open a web page in normal mode
driver.get('https://www.example.com')

# Do some actions on the web page
# ...

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

In this example, we are using the Chrome browser, but you can replace 'chrome' with any other browser that Selenium supports, such as 'firefox', 'edge', or 'safari'. The 'version' parameter is set to 'latest', which means that the latest version of the browser will be used.

Note that the DesiredCapabilities class is deprecated in the latest versions of Selenium. Instead, you can use the ChromeOptions class for Chrome or the FirefoxOptions class for Firefox to set the desired capabilities. Here's an example using ChromeOptions:

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

# Set the desired capabilities for the browser
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--start-maximized')  # Optional: start the browser in full screen

# Initialize the WebDriver with the desired capabilities
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

# Open a web page in normal mode
driver.get('https://www.example.com')

# Do some actions on the web page
# ...

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

This will also open the Chrome browser in normal mode.

Proxy service settings refer to the configuration and settings related to the use of a proxy server. A proxy server is an intermediary server that sits between a client and a destination server, acting as an intermediary to request and deliver content on behalf of the client. The main purpose of a proxy server is to improve performance, enhance security, or bypass restrictions on accessing certain content.

Proxy service settings include the following components:

1. Proxy server address: The IP address or domain name of the proxy server that the client will use to route requests and receive responses.

2. Proxy server port: The port number on which the proxy server is listening for incoming connections.

3. Protocol: The communication protocol used by the proxy server, such as HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS.

4. Authentication: The credentials required to access the proxy server, including username and password, if the proxy server requires authentication.

5. Connection timeout: The maximum amount of time, in seconds, that the client will wait for a response from the proxy server before timing out and attempting to reconnect.

6. Socks version: The version of the SOCKS protocol used by the proxy server, such as SOCKS4 or SOCKS5.

7. Proxy type: The type of proxy server, such as HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS, that the client will use to route requests and receive responses.

8. Bypass list: A list of domains or IP addresses that the client will bypass the proxy server for, allowing direct access to those resources.

9. Connection encryption: The method used to encrypt the data transmitted between the client and the proxy server, such as SSL or TLS.

10. User-agent: The user-agent string that the client will use to identify itself to the proxy server and destination server.

To connect to the Internet via a proxy server, you need to configure your browser or operating system to use the proxy server. Here's a general guide for setting up a proxy server using a web browser:

1. Open your web browser.

2. Access the browser settings or preferences:
- On Windows: Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select "Settings."
- On macOS: Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner, select "System Preferences," and click "Network."
- On Linux: Click the menu button in the top-right corner, select "Settings," and click "Network."
- On Android: Open the "Settings" app and tap "Network & internet."
- On iOS: Open the "Settings" app and tap "Wi-Fi."

3. Locate the proxy settings:
- On Windows: Under "Network," click "Proxy settings."
- On macOS: Click the "Advanced" button and go to the "Proxies" tab.
- On Linux: Click the "+" button to add a new proxy.
- On Android: Tap "Private DNS" and "Static IP address" under "Advanced options."
- On iOS: Tap "Configure Proxy" under the active Wi-Fi network.

4. Enter the proxy server address, port, and authentication details (if required):
- Proxy server address: Enter the domain name or IP address of the proxy server (e.g., http://proxy-server).
- Port: Enter the port number used by the proxy server (e.g., 8080).
- Username and Password (optional): If the proxy server requires authentication, enter the username and password provided by the proxy server provider.

5. Save the proxy settings and restart the browser.

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.

Regular Windows functionality has a minimum of settings for proxies. Therefore, it is recommended to use third-party applications for this purpose. For example, Proxy Switcher or Proxifier. There you can not only set the server characteristics but also, for example, create a folder for packets of traffic that are transmitted through the local network.
