Run Puppeteer with Tor

Question

I installed the Tor Expert Bundle and I would like to run it with Puppeteer.

I try:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: false,args:['--proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:9050"']});

But I get the error ERR_NO_SUPPORTED_PROXIES. I can run it with a normal Chrome browser.

Answer 1

There's an opened bug in chromium regarding more complex configurations for proxy in headless mode (Source). There has not been any activity since July 2017.

However, I've been able to run Puppeteer (1.3.0) with a headless chromium and SOCKS5 proxy configuration.

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({args: ['--proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:1337']});

Try updating Puppeteer, which also updates the bundled Chromium, and run again. Also seems like you might have a typo: remove the " between socks5://127.0.0.1:9050.
