Selenium python proxy

[BeHappy4Ever 31]

I want to ask you guys ,which is the best method for using a proxy(ONION) server on selenium?

Do you know any free onion proxy servers?

Please give me some examples in coding if you want to help me

Wishing you all the best guys

So, I'm guessing you just need a simple bot to do some action with I assume seleium.webdriver through a proxy server, here's a simple example, all you gotta do is add to chromeOptions, the proxy address, ip_address:port, here's some code:

 

Prerequisites:

Keep in mind that the chromeDriver version has to be the same with ur chrome browser version, that is if you want to use chrome as ur browser.

• Python 3.6+
• ChromeDriver: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
• Fetch selenium: pip install selenium in CMD, or in ur virtual env terminal if ur using any. 

 

 

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

chromeOptionsInstance = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

#Add ur proxy server id, port by
#Replace the string "YOUR_Ip_Address_Here" with ur proxyServer ip address between quotes like '127.0.0.1' in the below dictionary
#Replace the string "Your_Port_here" with ur proxy server port in the below dictionary
proxyServer = {'ip_Address':'YOUR_Ip_Address_Here',
               'port':'Your_Port_here'}

chromeOptionsInstance.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={proxyServer["ip_Address"]}:{proxyServer["port"]}')

#Create webdriver.Chrome instance, don't forget to add the absolute path to chromedriver.exe for this example
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"Ur_ChromeDriver_Absolute_Path\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=chromeOptionsInstance)
driver.get('https://metin2.dev/board/topic/25185-selenium-python-proxy/#comment-134552')

#Click on Answer this question elem.
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Answer this question')]").click()

 

In regards of a discrete proxy server, I don't got any, but I suggest using an VPN, does the job, there are alot of these for free on the internet
