I'm trying to set up a proxy for Selenium and Firefox (using Python). I have seen many tutorials and posts how to do it, but most are outdated or don't work for me.
I've been trying to use:
ua = UserAgent()
userAgent = ua.random
options = Options()
options.set_preference('general.useragent.override', userAgent)
options.set_preference('network.proxy.type', 1)
options.set_preference('network.proxy.http', proxy['ip'])
options.set_preference('network.proxy.http_port', proxy['port'])
options.set_preference('network.proxy.ssl', proxy['ip'])
options.set_preference('network.proxy.ssl_port', proxy['port'])
options.set_preference('network.proxy.socks_remote_dns', False)
service = Service(executable_path='../geckodriver-v0.30.0-linux64')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=service, options=options)
driver.get('https://www.expressvpn.com/what-is-my-ip')
The website https://www.expressvpn.com/what-is-my-ip shows my home IP, so proxying doesn't work.
I also tried:
ua = UserAgent()
userAgent = ua.random
options = Options()
options.set_preference('general.useragent.override', userAgent)
str_proxy = f"{proxy['ip']}:{proxy['port']}"
my_proxy = Proxy({
'proxyType': ProxyType.MANUAL,
'httpProxy': str_proxy,
'ftpProxy': str_proxy,
'sslProxy': str_proxy,
})
service = Service(executable_path='../geckodriver-v0.30.0-linux64')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=service, options=options, proxy=my_proxy)
driver.get('https://www.expressvpn.com/what-is-my-ip')
I also tried:
ua = UserAgent()
userAgent = ua.random
options = Options()
options.page_load_strategy = 'eager'
options.set_preference('general.useragent.override', userAgent)
str_proxy = f"{proxy['ip']}:{proxy['port']}"
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX['proxy'] = {
"httpProxy": str_proxy,
"ftpProxy": str_proxy,
"sslProxy": str_proxy,
"proxyType": "MANUAL",
}
service = Service(executable_path='../geckodriver-v0.30.0-linux64')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=service, options=options)
driver.get('https://www.expressvpn.com/what-is-my-ip')
The str_proxy is something like: 8.214.41.50:80
All of the above ways don't work. So, how do I use proxy with Selenium 4 python and Firefox?
