Seleniumwire.py throwing ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED when using Proxies

Question

I have been trying to add authenticated proxies to my selenium code. I came across selenium wire after alot of research. When I ran the can it threw me this error?

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED (Session info: headless chrome=102.0.5005.115) 

import seleniumwire from seleniumwire import webdriver import time options = { 'proxy': { 'https': 'https://proxy.proxyverse.io:443', 'http': 'http://proxy.proxyverse.io:443', } } # other chrome options op = webdriver.ChromeOptions() op.add_argument("window-size=1920,1080") op.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"]) op.add_argument("--headless") op.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False) op.add_argument("start-maximized") driver = webdriver.Chrome("path/chromedriver.exe" ,options=op,seleniumwire_options=options) driver.get("https://google.com/")

I need to know what is causing this because without proxies the driver is working fine. Thanks

Answer 1

SeleniumWire with Proxy Network:

I would not recommend SeleniumWire as there is an unresolvedissue with the TLS fingerprint and the driver will be quickly detected by CloudFlare. The normal Selenium package has a method of proxy configuration but it only works with "host:port" proxies:

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType prox = Proxy() prox.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL prox.http_proxy = "ip_addr:port" prox.socks_proxy = "ip_addr:port" prox.ssl_proxy = "ip_addr:port" capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME prox.add_to_capabilities(capabilities) driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities) 

The above configuration does NOT work with the proxy network endpoint method ("https://proxy.proxyverse.io:443") and there seems to be no current solution.
