Question

How can I manually set proxy settings in Python Selenium?

Answer 1

Hi Jyotsana, you can manually set proxy settings of a browser using Python Selenium Webdriver this way:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType

prox = Proxy()
prox.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
prox.http_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
prox.socks_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
prox.ssl_proxy = "ip_addr:port"

capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
prox.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities)

Comments

it's not working!

You could probably try executing this code snippet:

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)
chrome.get("http://whatismyipaddress.com")
