# Selenium proxy authentication library for .NET
### The challenge
Selenium does not support basic proxy authentication out-of-the-box. It is possible to create an **extension** that handles proxy authentication and add the extension to the browser, but if you wish to run the driver **headless**, extensions are not loaded. That's why I created this library.
#### Workaround
The workaround is to create a **local proxy server** (this simple library uses [**Titanium-Web-Proxy**](https://github.com/justcoding121/Titanium-Web-Proxy)) and **handle the proxy authentication** from there.
### Instructions
1. **Create the local proxy server**
```csharp
var proxyServer = new SeleniumProxyServer();
```
2. **Add a new endpoint**
```csharp
var localPort = proxyServer.AddEndpoint(new ProxyAuth("123.123.123.123", 80, "prox-username1", "proxy-password1"));
```
3. **Use the endpoint's port when initializing the driver**
```csharp
options.AddArgument($"--proxy-server=127.0.0.1:{localPort}");
```
### Example
```csharp
public void Test()
{
// Create a local proxy server
var proxyServer = new SeleniumProxyServer();
// Don't await, have multiple drivers at once using the local proxy server
TestSeleniumProxyServer(proxyServer, new ProxyAuth("123.123.123.123", 80, "prox-username1", "proxy-password1"));
TestSeleniumProxyServer(proxyServer, new ProxyAuth("11.22.33.44", 80, "prox-username2", "proxy-password2"));
TestSeleniumProxyServer(proxyServer, new ProxyAuth("111.222.222.111", 80, "prox-username3", "proxy-password3"));
while (true) { }
}
private async Task TestSeleniumProxyServer(SeleniumProxyServer proxyServer, ProxyAuth auth)
{
// Add a new local proxy server endpoint
var localPort = proxyServer.AddEndpoint(auth);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
//options1.AddArguments("headless");
// Configure the driver's proxy server to the local endpoint port
options.AddArgument($"--proxy-server=127.0.0.1:{localPort}");
// Optional
var service = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService();
service.HideCommandPromptWindow = true;
// Create the driver
var driver = new ChromeDriver(service, options);
// Test if the driver is working correctly
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.myip.com/");
await Task.Delay(5000);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://amibehindaproxy.com/");
await Task.Delay(5000);
// Dispose the driver
driver.Dispose();
}
```
