i'm writing tests in selenium and tried to use only socks for proxy. Here is the code.
from selenium import webdriver
proxy = "localhost"
port = "5900"
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.type", 1)
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks", proxy)
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks_port", port)
profile.update_preferences()
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="C:\Program Files\MozillaFirefox\geckodriver\geckodriver.exe", firefox_profile=profile)
driver.get("https://[xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx]")
But when I checked in Firefox. the proxy is set for all HTTP, FTP, etc instead of only Socks. Here is the image
Example
I know I am missing something Basic here. What is it?
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks_port", int(port))
Is there a way to change the proxy ip address for your Selenium Chrome web driver without closing the browser and just by reloading?
I know that you can add a proxy by running this but how can you change it?:
from selenium import webdriver
PROXY = "23.23.23.23:3128" # IP:PORT or HOST:PORT
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--proxy-server=%s' % PROXY)
chrome = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
I really can’t to set socks5 proxy(http too...) for my chrome webdriver in selenium for python.
I tried many different ways... But I think I do something bad.
Example 1:
self.options.add_argument('--proxy-server=http://'+proxy)
Example 2:
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME['proxy'] = {
"socksProxy": proxy,
"ftpProxy": proxy,
"sslProxy": proxy,
"noProxy": None,
"proxyType": "MANUAL",
"class": "org.openqa.selenium.Proxy",
"autodetect": False
}
Please describe fully the working example of setting up socks5 proxy on Selenium for Python and Chrome webdriver, with an example of proxy string formats (maybe i am doing something mistakes here ...).
PS Two problems which I get:
Just staying old IP address.
No internet connection in chrome web driver.
Chrome do not allow proxy with auth. I am not shure but after read so many informations I think so.... Only one way is working for me - to use proxy socks5 without auth by login and password.
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
proxy = '12.12.421.125:1949'
options.add_argument('--proxy-server=socks5://' + proxy)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
For FireFox's geckodriver if you just want to set socks5 host / socks5 proxy :-
form selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
# Socks5 Host SetUp:-
myProxy = "198.199.101.152:8388"
ip, port = myProxy.split(':')
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', ip)
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', int(port))
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
Here is the code I used to connect to a Socks5 server with username/password auth.
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
capabilities = dict(DesiredCapabilities.CHROME)
capabilities['proxy'] = {
'proxyType': 'MANUAL',
'socksProxy': '<Your_IP>:<Your_Port>',
'socksVersion': 5,
'ftpProxy': '<Your_IP>:<Your_Port>',
'noProxy': 'localhost,127.0.0.1',
'class': "org.openqa.selenium.Proxy",
'autodetect': False
}
capabilities['proxy']['socksUsername'] = '<username>'
capabilities['proxy']['socksPassword'] = '<password>'
driver = Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install(), desired_capabilities=capabilities)
For Firefox's geckodriver , based on the answer by Tanmay Harsh, I have got this so far:
from selenium.webdriver import Firefox, FirefoxOptions
proxy = ('proxy-server.local', 1080)
options = FirefoxOptions()
options.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)
options.set_preference('network.proxy.socks', proxy[0])
options.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_port', proxy[1])
options.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_remote_dns', True)
driver = Firefox(options=options)
'proxy': {
'http': 'socks5://user:pass#192.168.10.100:8888',
'https': 'socks5://user:pass#192.168.10.100:8888',
'no_proxy': 'localhost,127.0.0.1'
}
}
driver = webdriver.Chrome(seleniumwire_options=options)```

I am trying to connect to a proxy, however the browser is not using it and when I check my ip, it is my own ip and not the proxy.
I provided a fake IP, as my IP is dedicated and private.
here is what I've tried:
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--proxy=https://23.23.23.23:19191'))
chrome_options.add_argument('--proxy-auth=user:password')
chrome_options.add_argument('--proxy-type=https')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options = chrome_options)
driver.get("http://whatismyipaddress.com/")
Also, how would i do this on phantomjs?
I am coding a test suite using Python and the Selenium library. Using the chromedriver, I am setting proxies using:
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--proxy-server=%s' % hostname + ":" + port)
global driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
This works fine when the proxy does not have authentication. However, if the proxy requires you to login with a username and password it will not work. What is the correct and proper way to pass proxy authentication information to the chromedriver using add_argument or other methods?
It is not the same as: How to set Proxy setting for Chrome in Selenium Java
Seeing as:
I ts a different language
Its firefox, not chrome.
--proxy-server=http://user:password#proxy.com:8080 does not work.
Use DesiredCapabilities. I have been successfully using proxy authentication with the following:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
proxy = {'address': '123.123.123.123:2345',
'username': 'johnsmith123',
'password': 'iliketurtles'}
capabilities = dict(DesiredCapabilities.CHROME)
capabilities['proxy'] = {'proxyType': 'MANUAL',
'httpProxy': proxy['address'],
'ftpProxy': proxy['address'],
'sslProxy': proxy['address'],
'noProxy': '',
'class': "org.openqa.selenium.Proxy",
'autodetect': False}
capabilities['proxy']['socksUsername'] = proxy['username']
capabilities['proxy']['socksPassword'] = proxy['password']
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=[path to your chromedriver], desired_capabilities=capabilities)
EDIT: it unfortunately seems this method no longer works since one of the updated to either Selenium or Chrome since this post. as of now, i do not know another solution, but i will experiment and update this if i find anything out.
