To run Selenium WebDriver on a Virtual Private Server (VPS), you need to follow these steps:

Choose a VPS provider and set up your VPS instance. Some popular VPS providers include DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr.

Connect to your VPS instance using SSH (Secure Shell) and update the package list:

sudo apt-get update

Install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install -y chromedriver

Download the appropriate version of the ChromeDriver for your browser version. You can download it from the ChromeDriver download page.

Move the downloaded ChromeDriver binary to a directory in your PATH, for example, /usr/local/bin/:

sudo mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin/

Give the ChromeDriver binary executable permissions:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Install the required Python packages:

pip install selenium

Create a Python script to run Selenium WebDriver on your VPS instance:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://example.com')

search_box = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'search-box')))
search_box.send_keys('your search query')
search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

driver.quit()

Run the Python script on your VPS instance using SSH:

python your_script.py

To view proxy settings on your computer, follow these steps based on your operating system:

Windows:

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on "Internet Options."
3. Go to the "Connections" tab and click "LAN settings."
4. Check the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" option to view the current proxy settings.

macOS:

1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click on "Network."
3. Select your active network connection (e.g., Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
4. Click the "Advanced" button.
5. Go to the "Proxies" tab to view the current proxy settings.

To view the proxy settings on your computer, you can follow these steps depending on the operating system you are using:

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, you will see the proxy server settings. If there is a checkmark in the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" box, it means you are 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 view the proxy settings.

There is often no need to use a proxy server on PS4. However, using a proxy can achieve the following results:

opening access to inaccessible social networks and streaming sites; removal of the block on a personal IP; anonymous use of services; increasing account protection from hacking and network attacks. Without the need to use a proxy server on PS4 makes no sense.

A proxy server passes all traffic through itself, acting as an intermediary between the user and the remote server. It is most often used to conceal the real IP, to conditionally change the user's location, or to analyze traffic (for example, when testing web applications).
