How can I redirect the traffic of Firefox launched by Selenium in Python to a proxy? I have used the solutions suggested on the web but they don't work!
I have tried:
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.type", 1)
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.http", "54.213.66.208")
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.http_port", 80)
profile.update_preferences()
driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile)

There are two ways of setting up Firefox Proxy using Selenium: By adding preferred Proxy Server Host and Port details to FirefoxOptions class, that can be later used in the tests. By setting Firefox Profile using FirefoxProfile class. By setting up desired capabilities.
A proxy is an intermediary between client requests and server responses. Proxies are primarily used to ensure privacy and encapsulation between numerous interactive systems. A proxy can also provide an added layer of security by operating as a firewall between client and web servers.
Following piece of code used to set proxy in Selenium. ChromeOptions option = new ChromeOptions(); Proxy proxy = new Proxy(); proxy. setHttpProxy("localhost:5555"); option. setCapability(CapabilityType.
You need to import the following:
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType
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")
Don't remember where exactly I found this solution, but its out there somewhere. Will surely provide a link if I find it again. Just took this part out of my code.
