TODO: Add proxy support

Proxy Support

Add a proxy parameter that will launch a browser instance and proxy traffic through the server passed in the params.

Notes:

• Per session: https://blog.scrapinghub.com/how-to-use-a-proxy-in-puppeteer
• Per request: https://github.com/gajus/puppeteer-proxy
• Recommend rotating proxies rather than initiating a lot of sessions.

[NoahCardoza]

Great! Thanks for the help!

[NoahCardoza]

I'll close this as soon as I update the documentation.

@khorezm0 Actually, I just noticed some changes I think I'll make to cache the proxy authentication when you initiate the instance with sessions.create since it doesn't make sense to keep passing the auth to every request, unless there is a reason you did it that way?

No, there is no reasons to it, just didn't thought about it.

[NoahCardoza]

Alright, good to know. I'll try to fix this up by the end of the week.

[NoahCardoza]

Been lagging on this for a while, this is a reminder for me to look into this SOON!

Does the latest version of CloudProxy support proxy? I added proxy = { "url": "ip:port", "username": "user", "password": "pass" } to CloudProxy request.get but it don't work. I tested with https://whatismyipaddress.com/ website.

[khorezm0]

Should be not. Once it will, this issue should be closed.

Yes it supports proxy, but it should be a proxy without AUTH. Because chrome don't accept user:password on the command line. You should set your proxy to be restricted to your ip.
