this proxy is correct, i can use it via requests. but in playwright, it doesnt work . the doc says it support http or socks, how to use socks5 proxy ? thank yoy.

What kind of socks5 proxy are you using? Could you provide us e.g. a squid proxy configuration so we can repro?

[pavelfeldman]

Socks5 proxy w/ auth is not supported but major browsers or infrastructures. Could you share your use case?

[viponedream]

import asyncio import requests from playwright.async_api import async_playwright

username = 'usertestme888' password = 'usertestme888' ip = '47.241.238.22' port = '2333'

async def mytest():

url = 'http://httpbin.org/ip'

proxies = {
    'http': f'socks5://{username}:{password}@{ip}:{port}',
    'https': f'socks5://{username}:{password}@{ip}:{port}'
}

res = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies,  verify=False)
print(res.text)

async def main(): proxy = { "server": f'https://{ip}:{port}', "username": f"{username}", "password": f"{password}" }

user_data_dir = ''

playwright = await async_playwright().start()
browser = await playwright.chromium.launch_persistent_context(
    user_data_dir,
    proxy=proxy,
    timeout=300000,
    headless=False,
)
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.goto('https://baidu.com')
pass

if name == 'main':

asyncio.run(mytest())
asyncio.run(main())
pass

to those who keep posting the same comment - please just upvote the post at the top

for something productive here - I tried to bump the 'proxy-authorization' header, but ofcourse this triggers net::ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT from inside puppeteer because overriding some headers is not supported

            if self.proxy and self.proxy.get('server', '').lower().startswith('socks5://'):
                import base64
                auth_str = base64.b64encode(f"{self.proxy['username']}:{self.proxy['password']}".encode('utf8')).decode('ascii')
                self.proxy['username'] = ''
                self.proxy['password'] = ''
                request_headers['proxy-authorization']= f"Basic {auth_str}"

However an interesting work-around is to use a local SOCKS proxy chain, so you bounce a local request to localhost socks server off to the real server, because SOCKS chains very well due to its low-level TCP socket type arrangement

I also tried self.page.evaluate('const aHandle = page.authenticate({"xxxx", "pppp"});') but that didnt work (unsure why) SyntaxError: Unexpected string at eval (<anonymous>) at UtilityScript.evaluate (<anonymous>:201:30) at UtilityScript.<anonymous> (<anonymous>:1:44)

I require socks5 Auth to use my premium proxy provider

My program will proxy socks5 authentication forwarding, using ordinary http to socks5 request forwarding: https://github.com/0x676e67/vproxy
