Python - How to use selenium with proxies

Question

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
for x in range(10):
    driver.get("mysite.com")

Is there a way to change the proxy on every connection to "mysite.com" in the range 10, but without closing the driver and reopening it, but just changing the settings of proxy?

You need to import the following:

from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import *

Then setup the proxies:

myProxy = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx"

proxy = Proxy({
    'proxyType': ProxyType.MANUAL,
    'httpProxy': myProxy,
    'ftpProxy': myProxy,
    'sslProxy': myProxy,
    'noProxy': '' # set this value as desired
    })

Then call the webdriver.Firefox() function as follows:

driver = webdriver.Firefox(proxy=proxy)
driver.get("http://www.google.com")

Or you can use tor browser it will switch the proxy automatically

yeah but since I have multiple proxies that changes at every range, it'd change the proxy only reopening the webdriver... and I need that webdriver remains opened.. is that possible?
