Using uc option with proxy in multiprocessing repeats same ip

[FranciscoPalomares]

Hi, using this code in multiprocessing and different proxy, repeats ip:
driver = Driver(uc=True, proxy=proxy_dict['http'], headless=headless, uc_cdp_events=api,incognito=True)


Thanks

This does seem to still be an issue, I can take a look into if you haven't started yourself yet @mdmintz, thanks!

Though to me the problem is not only goes with multiprocessing, but also a regular headless2 mode doesn't seem to be working well with authenticated proxy. (ip-auth proxy goes well, so I guess the issue is related to the browser extension)

You have to enable that option for multiple proxies. See the documentation: #1832

• --multi-proxy (Command-line option for pytest)
• multi_proxy=True (SB manager, Driver manager, DriverContext manager)

@mdmintz Is this something that needs to be enabled even when I use single authenticated proxy single-threaded? Thanks!

[mdmintz]

@punkerpunker If using a single proxy (either single-threaded or multi-threaded), you won't need the option.

Using --multi-proxy / multi_proxy=True will create a custom proxy config for every test that uses a proxy.

Thanks @mdmintz!

What I am trying to communicate, is that after the upgrade to version 117, extension that's wrapping a user authenticated proxy doesn't work in headless2 mode.

I am not the owner of the original issue, felt it is related. I can open a new one.

@punkerpunker Are you using SeleniumBase 4.18.6? https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/releases/tag/v4.18.6
Chrome 117 made changes to headless mode, and SeleniumBase was already patched for it.

I just double checked it - yes, that's the case with the latest version of seleniumbase @mdmintz

@punkerpunker Can you be more specific on your issue? You mentioned several topics, but that you only had one issue.

Which of these most-closely resembles the issue you're experiencing?

1. Proxy settings aren't being applied at all.
2. Only one proxy is being used for all tests.
3. An error message appears somewhere.
4. Multi-threading isn't working.
5. UC Mode is getting detected in headless mode.

If it's the last one, (5), check your user-agent, and see if HeadlessChrome is there. You can change your user-agent with an arg: agent. Make sure you set it to one that usesChrome, because HeadlessChrome gets you detected.

[mdmintz]

I found the issue, it's most-certainly number 5. The workaround right now is to specify the agent if using an authenticated proxy in headless mode. I'll probably create another ticket for this.

[mdmintz]

I opened another ticket for it: #2114
(It's off-topic from this original ticket.)

@punkerpunker - resolved in 4.18.7 - https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/releases/tag/v4.18.7
