Question

System.setProperty(\"webdriver.gecko.driver\", \"E:\\\\geckodriver-v0.18.0-win64\\\\geckodriver.exe\");
    Proxy p = new Proxy();
    p.setSocksProxy(\"83.209.94.87         


        

Answer 1

Because a bug you cannot use the Proxy object as of now. You should use the below code

    FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
    profile.setPreference("network.proxy.type", 1);
    profile.setPreference("network.proxy.socks", "83.209.94.87");
    profile.setPreference("network.proxy.socks_port", 35923);

    FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
    driver.get("https://www.ipinfo.io");

The bug is discussed on https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/764 and you see what the Marionette driver do in background on below link

So above code just replicates the same
