I really can’t to set socks5 proxy (http too...) for my chrome webdriver in selenium for python. I tried many different ways... But I think I do something bad.
Example 1:
self.options.add_argument('--proxy-server=http://'+proxy)
Example 2:
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME['proxy'] = {
"socksProxy": proxy,
"ftpProxy": proxy,
"sslProxy": proxy,
"noProxy": None,
"proxyType": "MANUAL",
"class": "org.openqa.selenium.Proxy",
"autodetect": False
}
Please describe fully the working example of setting up socks5 proxy on Selenium for Python and Chrome webdriver, with an example of proxy string formats (maybe i am doing something mistakes here ...).
PS Two problems which I get:
Chrome does not allow proxies with authentication. I am not sure but after reading extensively I think so... I only have one solution currently. I am using a SOCKS5 proxy without authentication by login and password.
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
proxy = '12.12.421.125:1949'
options.add_argument('--proxy-server=socks5://' + proxy)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
2023 edit:
This argument is supported, according to man chromium
:
--proxy-server=host:port
Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy server to use for requests. This overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.
