user:pass proxies with selenium

Question

What is the best/easiest way to use user authenticated proxies in a program? I currently have this but I need username and password to be already filled in when browser open

Answer 1

You can achieve the same using a Proxy Auto auth plugin

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
PROXY = "185.136.232.243:80"
options.add_extension("~/Downloads/Proxy Auto Auth.crx")
options.add_argument("--proxy-server=http://{}".format(PROXY))

driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)

driver.get("chrome-extension://ggmdpepbjljkkkdaklfihhngmmgmpggp/options.html")

driver.find_element_by_id("login").send_keys("user")
driver.find_element_by_id("password").send_keys("password")
driver.find_element_by_id("retry").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("retry").send_keys("2")


driver.find_element_by_id("save").click()

driver.get("http://tarunlalwani.com")

Answer 2

I used Proxy Auto Auth with head chrome successfully，but headless chrome is fail。

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: failed to wait for extension background page to load: chrome-extension://ggmdpepbjljkkkdaklfihhngmmgmpggp/_generated_background_page.html from unknown error: page could not be found: chrome-extension://ggmdpepbjljkkkdaklfihhngmmgmpggp/_generated_background_page.html
