How do I set up a proxy when I get the message: "... [WinError 10061]" using Selenium Wire and Tor browser and set header capture – in python?

To be able to capture headers (the Selenium library does not support this) I decided to use the Selenium Wire library. I found the following website: https://gitlab.torproject.org/woswos/CAPTCHA-Monitor/-/snippets/60 that explains how to use the Selenium Wire library with the Tor browser. However, when I use the code from this page I get a connection error, quote "Error connecting to SOCKS5 proxy 127.0.0.1:9150: [WinError 10061]". I also can't set header capture according to the documentation of the Selenium Wire library: https://github.com/wkeeling/selenium-wire . The documentation states that this should be according to the formula:

def interceptor(request):
    del request.headers['Referer']  # Remember to delete the header first
    request.headers['Referer'] = 'some_referer'  # Spoof the referer

driver.request_interceptor = interceptor
driver.get(...)

# All requests will now use 'some_referer' for the referer

However, it does not explain what a request is or why a function reference is not interceptor().

As for the proxy settings from the example, for this to work, you must first open the Tor browser. In the following code, this is done by a script. This is because in order to set up a proxy, it must first work. When it comes to capturing headers, you should follow the Selenium Wire documentation exactly. Below is a working script that allows you to capture headers:

import os
import time

from seleniumwire import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary

def firefoxdriver(my_url):
    """Preparing of the Tor browser for the work."""
    # The location of the Tor Browser bundle
    #   for my laptop.
    # tbb_dir = r'C:\Users\Oliver\Desktop\Tor Browser'
    #   for my mainframe.
    tbb_dir = r'C:\Users\olive\OneDrive\Pulpit\Tor Browser'

    # Set the Tor Browser binary and profile.
    tb_binary = tbb_dir + r'\Browser\firefox.exe'
    tb_profile = tbb_dir + r'\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default'
    binary = FirefoxBinary(tb_binary)
    profile = FirefoxProfile(tb_profile)

    # Open Tor Browser to allow to work on the proxy.
    torexe = os.popen(tb_binary)

    # Disable Tor Launcher to prevent it connecting the Tor Browser to 
    #   Tor directly.
    os.environ['TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH'] = '1'
    os.environ['TOR_TRANSPROXY'] = '1'

    # Disable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) in order to have 
    #   seleniumwire between the browser and Tor.
    profile.set_preference("security.cert_pinning.enforcement_level", 0)
    profile.set_preference("network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist", False)

    # Tell Tor Button it is OK to use seleniumwire
    profile.set_preference("extensions.torbutton.local_tor_check", False)
    profile.set_preference("extensions.torbutton.use_nontor_proxy", True)

    # Enable JavaScript at all, otherwise JS stays disabled regardless 
    #   of the Tor Browser's security slider value.
    profile.set_preference("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "68.8.0")

    # Configure seleniumwire to upstream traffic to Tor running on 
    #   port 9150.
    # It is possible to increase/decrease the timeout if you are trying
    #   to a load page that requires a lot of requests. It is in 
    #   seconds.
    options = {
        'proxy': {
            'http': 'socks5h://127.0.0.1:9150',
            'https': 'socks5h://127.0.0.1:9150',
            'connection_timeout': 20
        }
    }

                                firefox_binary=binary,
                                seleniumwire_options=options)

    return driver
