Authenticated proxies don't work with undetected_chromedriver

[timber hound]

goofy ahh chat gippity code

did you know the "undetected" chromedrivers are still trivial to detect?

[wild jacinth]

oops lemme format it

[wild jacinth]

yeah but I don't need more than that

[timber hound]

from selenium import webdriver
PROXY = f"http://{proxy_username}:{proxy_password}@{proxy_address}:{proxy_port}"
chrome_options = WebDriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server="{PROXY}"')
chrome = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
chrome.get("https://www.google.com")

[wild jacinth]

what about this

[timber hound]

that works

selenium-wire is just weird fr

[wild jacinth]

it's a normal webdriver tho

[timber hound]

bro

[wild jacinth]

my code works, problem is I need it to work with undetected_chromedriver

[timber hound]

just use the options

those are the same

[wild jacinth]

wym

[timber hound]

selenium-wire doesn't hook into the ugly shitty undetected chromedriver

[timber hound]

so just do it via the chrome options

[wild jacinth]

the undetected thing?

[timber hound]

the proxy 😭

[wild jacinth]

but chrome's gonna have that "this is an automated session" bs that's detected by even grandpa websites

[timber hound]

????

JUST USE YOUR UNDETECTED CHROMEDRIVER PACKAGE AND THEN ADD THE PROXY OPTION

[wild jacinth]

oh

[timber hound]

OR JUST SET useAutomationExtension TO FALSE

THAT FLAG IS JUST CONFIG TOO

[wild jacinth]

you mean like this?
options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server=https={proxy}')

[timber hound]

bro

[timber hound]

Just copy this extra line over

[wild jacinth]

I've tried that in my original code first thing and it ran with my normal IP pretty much ignoring the proxy thing

[timber hound]

try again

🥱

and post code of the new thing

[wild jacinth]

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server=https={proxy_url}')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)```
This is what I had in my original code

the code runs but my normal IP is used

[timber hound]

because that proxy is invalid

lol

[wild jacinth]

I redacted it

[timber hound]

--proxy-server=https={proxy_url}

[wild jacinth]

the proxy is working

[timber hound]

wtf is this supposed to be

https=

[timber hound]

I told you to just copy the line from here

[wild jacinth]

does this look alright @timber hound

if so, this still uses my normal IP

that's with undetected_chromedriver

[timber hound]

what does it do

[wild jacinth]

opens the website httpbin.io/ip and the displayed IP is my normal IP

[timber hound]

https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver/issues/1306

[wild jacinth]

I've tried the extension solutions here and all of them reach the same fate

including the latest one that uses class

[timber hound]

nice

[wild jacinth]

I think chrome patches these with their new versions

[timber hound]

seems like that library is just wonky

or maybe you gotta use socks5 because muh we are stuck in 2005

are the proxies sock5

yes

[wild jacinth]

I think so

they mentioned
Augmented Security Pick from HTTP, or the swift and trustworthy SOCKS5 protocol for added security. on their website

[wild jacinth]

is my only option to manually find a third party download of the version? As far as I understand chrome doesn't give out older versions

[timber hound]

https://www.reddit.com/r/developers/comments/1brusop/how_can_i_find_old_version_of_chromedriver/

[wild jacinth]

I mean older version of Google Chrome

not chromedrive

[timber hound]

idk go search the internet? lmao

If you're on Linux you'll probably be able to find older builds in repo archives

no idea for Windows or Mac

[wild jacinth]

well yeah I found that it is only offered by third party websites, I asked you incase there's another solution you know of

[wild jacinth]

I see

I'll risk malware for an older version lolol

[timber hound]

😂

[wild jacinth]

okay so I installed an older version of chrome and it seems to work
