Hi there!
So I was hoping programming might be able to help with this. I am trying to learn how to use Selenium for personal projects.

I have tried using normal, straight up selenium but it does not support authorized proxies…
I have tried SeleniumBase, but when I got it working, there were WebRTC leaks that I could not avoid.
I have tried using Undetected-chrome but that too I was unable to get authorized proxies working…
For proxies, I tried seleniumwire as well. That seems to use its own SSL certificates which unfortunately as far as I can tell is easy to detect.
Main purpose for me is web scraping and or simple login to X site, enter X info and close.

So my question is… What is the proper way to use Selenium for automating functions while avoiding detection?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I made this post because I am hitting a wall at every turn, and I feel like I might just be approaching this the wrong way, or maybe I’m just missing something crucial. I was hoping someone with more experience could explain to me what is the correct way of doing it without cobbling it together with duct tape.

      programming.dev/c/learn_programming would also be a good fit for this.

        If I understood correctly crossposting is somewhat frowned upon to avoid duplocate posts on lemmy (and I agree with that) so I will remember for next time.
        Thanks!
