I am trying to connect to a website using Selenium in Python. The script works perfectly when I don't use any proxy. However, when I try to re-run the script again with Proxy then I get ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED and the page isn't displayed. Below is the code:

from selenium import webdriver webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME['proxy']={ "httpProxy":PROXY, "ftpProxy":PROXY, "sslProxy":PROXY, "proxyType":"MANUAL", } browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='../chromedriver.exe') browser.get('https://www.facebook.com')

Is there a solution to get past this error code? The only thing new that is added is the webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME where PROXY is added. If I don't use this then the script works just fine. I am unable to understand what I may be doing wrong here.

  • How do you the proxy is actually working or not? You should manually configure the proxy and see if it actually works for you or not

    Lot of those proxies don't work. So test then using some online tester like hidemy.name/en/proxy-checker

The error you are getting indicates that the proxy doesn't work. Best way is to make sure you test your proxies with an online proxy test tool

One such tool is below
