Is there any way to change the firefox and chrome proxy through a python script.
System is Ubuntu or any other linux distro
Keep the browser settings as set the proxy as system proxy.
Then your python script will be
import os
os.system('export http://<your proxy>:<your port>/')
os.system('export https://<your proxy>:<your port>/')
This will set the system proxy as your proxy and hence your browser will be using your system proxy.

I tried everything that I found. Tried to connect with extension but it was unsuccessful (I didn't find a ext config). Tried to internal settings (about:config). Tried connect with JS inside chrome.
Can I just use proxy for entire process (WebDriver)?
Chrome cant work with socks5, but you can use it in Firefox with addon (Proxyfoxy)
Create WEbDrive
Install addon
Setup proxy and select it
Done!
I am currently using python to write some appium test. Because I am behind a corporate firewall my traffic needs to go via a proxy.
I have set my http_proxy and https_proxy variables, but it seems like this is not being picked up by python during execution.
I tried the exact same test using javascript and node and the proxy get picked up and everything works so I am sure the problem is python not following the proxy settings.
How can I make sure python is using correct proxy settings?
I am using python 2.7 on macos mojave
Thanks!
So I figured out that appium currently does not support options to provide a proxy when making a remote connection. As temporary solution I modified the remote_connection module of selenium that appium inherits forcing it to use a proxy url for the connection.
My python knowledge is not that good but I think it shoudnt take much effort for someone to make a module that wraps/override the appium webdriver remote connection to include a proxy option.
How do I configure a tor proxy on windows?
For example, I want to run the following python script through a tor proxy:
import requests
proxies = {
'http':'socks5h://localhost:9050',
'https':'socks5h:/localhost:9050'
}
url = 'someWebsite.onion'
res = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
On unix systems, you can simply run tor in terminal, but this doesn't seem to work on windows.
navigate to \Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor and edit torcc file
# ControlPort 9051
SocksPort 9051
Then restart tor.
Use tor proxy everywhere:
control panel -> network & internet -> internet options -> connection -> lan setting -> tick proxy server & goto advance & add:
proxy 127.0.0.1 port 9051
Use tor proxy in a browser like firefox:
options -> network setting -> tick Manual proxy configuration & add:
proxy 127.0.0.1 port 9051
Use with Python requests library:
import requests
proxies = {
'http':'socks5://127.0.0.1:9051',
'https':'socks5:/127.0.0.1:9051'
}
url = 'https://check.torproject.org/'
res = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
Note: You have to keep running tor browser for this
Txtorcon and Stem are libraries developed by the Tor Project for controlling Tor from Python. Stem doesn't have any external dependencies. However, txtorcon allows one to launch Tor from Python, rather than just connect to a running instance.
Both of these libraries require a Tor binary already installed though. It is possible to use the Tor included with the Tor Browser Bundle, connecting on port 9150 (with control port of 9151).
Better yet though, you can download the "Expert Bundle" to get the Tor binary without any browser. The download for it is not currently linked from their new website, but the latest version can still be pulled from https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/. Navigate to a directory for either the alpha or stable version and search for "tor-win64-" (or "tor-win32-" if you need 32-bit).
he working good, but need start tor service in windows
or made service tor auto start in windows when startup
all time tor service in this path after download tor browser
your_installation_path\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor
the bin name is tor.exe you should add path in the windows PATH
I want to install python libs using pip from windows command prompt, but unable to due to no proxy settings. Internet connection requires 'Automatic proxy configuration URL' for browsers normally. What should i do for 'command prompt'. 'set HTTP_PROXY' is not working as it requires proxy server IP and port. in my case, its an 'Automatic proxy configuration URL'.
Download the file at the automatic proxy configuration URL. It's (usually a small) Javascript file. Interpret it manually (alas!) and create a proper proxy setting for pip.
I am experiencing a very strange behaviour when testing Chrome via selenium webdriver.
Instead of navigating to pages like one would expect the 'get' command leads only to the download of tiny files (no type or.apsx files) from the target site.
Importantly - this behavior only occurs when I pass chrome_options as an argument
to the Chrome driver.
The same testing scripts work flawless with firefox driver.
Code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options # tried with and without
proxy = '127.0.0.1:9951' # connects to a proxy application
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--proxy-server=%s' % proxy)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get('whatismyip.com')
Leads to the automatic download of a file called download (no file extension, Size 2 Byte).
While calling other sites results in the download of small aspx files.
This all happens while the browser page remains blank and no interaction with
elements happen = the site is not loaded at all.
No error message, except element not found is thrown.
This is really strange.
Additional info:
I run Debian Wheezy 32 bit and use Python 2.7.
Any suggestions how to solve this issue?
I tried your code and captured the traffic on localhost using an SOCKS v5 proxy through SSH. It is definitely sending data through the proxy but no data is coming back. I have confirmed the proxy was working using Firefox.
I'm running Google Chrome on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit. My Chrome browser gives me the following message when I try to configure a proxy in its settings menu:
When running Google Chrome under a supported desktop environment, the
system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not
supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.
But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man
google-chrome-stable for more information on flags and environment
variables.
Unfortunately I don't have a man page for google-chrome-stable.
I also discovered that according to the selenium documentation Chrome is using the system wide proxy settings and according to their documentation it is unknown how to set the proxy in Chrome programmatically: http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp#using-a-proxy
