How to connect proxy using Selenium and ChromeDriver

Question

I try to connect http://username:password@ip:port proxy and options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server=%s' % proxy) not working. Can you help me?..

Answer 1

To connect a proxy through ChromeDriver you can use the following code block:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

PROXY = "ip:port"
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--proxy-server=%s' % PROXY)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
