ProxyFall proxies in Selenium
Selenium automates real browsers; Chrome needs a helper to log in to a proxy with a username and password. Here's how to set ProxyFall up for browser tests and automation through residential IPs, in a couple of minutes.
Setup
Set up ProxyFall in Selenium
- 1
Chrome's --proxy-server flag can't carry a username and password, so use SeleniumBase, which handles proxy logins.
- 2
Install it (pip install seleniumbase) and pass the proxy as login:password@host:port.
- 3
Add targeting and a session to the login as with any other tool.
Example
from seleniumbase import Driver
driver = Driver(proxy="YOUR_LOGIN-country-us:YOUR_PASSWORD@gw.proxyfall.com:59731")
driver.get("https://ipinfo.io/json")
print(driver.page_source)
driver.quit()Replace YOUR_LOGIN and YOUR_PASSWORD with the proxy login and password in your dashboard. The dashboard's generator writes these lines for any country, state, city or ISP.
Tips
Getting the most out of it
- Use the HTTP proxy line in browsers.
- A sticky session keeps a whole test run on one IP.
FAQ
Selenium and ProxyFall: questions, answered
Do ProxyFall proxies work with Selenium?
Yes. ProxyFall is a standard HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 proxy at gw.proxyfall.com:59731 with a login and password, which Selenium supports. Targeting goes in the login, so nothing else needs configuring.
How do I rotate IPs?
Leave the session out of the login and every new connection gets a new IP. Add -session-NAME-lifetime-30 to keep one IP for 30 minutes (anything from a few minutes to 24 hours).
How much does it cost?
Residential traffic costs $0.99/GB for 1 to 49 GB and down to $0.86/GB from 1 TB, with every targeting option included and GB that never expire. Your first deposit of $5 or more, by card or crypto, adds 250 MB free.
