I'm tryin to create a bot in Python with Selenium which often has to change the proxy adress in order to do the requests. I've searched now for very long in the internet but I can't figure out how to set my code up so that I can change the proxy host, port, username and password without closing the webdriver and creating a new one.

I've already tried installing a custom Chrome Extension which set up a proxy connection from a background script with chrome.proxy.settings.set and entered the credentials via the chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener method. This worked out for me but I wasn't able to change the proxy to whatever I wanted from my Python script.

Does anyone know how to set up a dynamic proxy with credentials for Selenium in Python? I don't care which Browser but the regedit variables for global proxy settings shouldn't be changed.

  • @DebanjanB It's an interesting post but no. I'd like the program not have to restart the bot on every change of the proxy. – Tobias Weger May 25 '20 at 20:21
