Using a VPN in Selenium Python requires some setup. First, you will need to download the Selenium Web Driver for your browser of choice. Then, you will need to install a web proxy (for example, Privoxy) on your computer. Once the proxy is installed, set the browser‘s proxy settings to use the new proxy. Finally, use the Selenium API to launch the desired browser and access websites behind the VPN/proxy.
You can use a third-party library such as Selenium-Requests to use a VPN with Selenium in Python. Selenium-requests enables you to use a custom HTTP request headers, which can be used to send requests through a VPN.
To use a VPN with Selenium in Python, you will need to install the Selenium-Requests library:
pip install selenium-requests
Once the library is installed, you can use it to create a custom HTTP request header to send requests through a VPN. For example, the following code will create a custom request header that uses a VPN with the IP address 192.168.1.1:
from seleniumrequests import Firefox
browser = Firefox()
vpn_header = {
‘X-Forwarded-For’: ‘192.168.1.1’
}
response = browser.request(‘GET’, ‘https://www.example.com’, headers=vpn_header)
The response object returned by the browser.request() method will contain the response from the website. You can then use the response data to process the request further.
