Use of Proxy in Selenium

I have a website that I want to test through automation. My client wants to test the website using a proxy of another country as we can testing manual using Browserc Extension. How we can perform it in selenium using java. Below is the code I tried but how can I check this is the same country that proxy I used.
`
Proxy proxy= new Proxy();
proxy.setHttpProxy("localhost:8888");
DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "G:\\Selenium\\Driver\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://vapesuite.co.uk/#/");`

I think the issue is with your code and proxy and it is not working properly.
I have tried the free proxy and it was working fine for me, please see the attached screenshot.
Code Used:
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.type", 1);
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http", "116.80.41.12");
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http_port", 80);
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.ssl", "116.80.41.12");
profile.setPreference("network.proxy.ssl_port", 80);
options.setProfile(profile);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.get("https://vapesuite.co.uk/#/");

if you are using maven this should work for you :

Selenium + Proxy = Fail

Proxy not working in Selenium
First of all i use free proxys from proxyfish (maybe thats the problem alrdy) https://hidemyna.me/en/proxy-checker/ tells me theyre working.
I found lots of code/solutions, most is outdated (capabilities=options..) or not working for me.
Tried several code/proxys chrome/ff however https://www.iplocation.net/ and https://whatismyipaddress.com showing actual IP address (IPv4 and IPv6).
What I tried..
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\selenium\\chromedriver.exe");
System.getProperties().put("74.208.112.***", "8080"); //1st try
Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.setHttpProxy("74.208.112.***:8080"); //2nd try
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setCapability("proxy", proxy);
options.setProxy(proxy);
options.addArguments("--proxy-server=74.208.112.***:8080"); //3rd try
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.iplocation.net/");
driver.get("https://whatismyipaddress.com/");
Solution:
proxy.setSslProxy("74.208.112.***:8080");
Is there a way to test proxy connection before using proxy?

Cannot Setup SOCKS Proxy with Firefoxdriver

I have a problem with SOCKS5 proxy with firefox driver in Java.
final FirefoxOptions FIREFOX_OPTIONS = new FirefoxOptions();
final Proxy PROXY = new Proxy().setProxyType(Proxy.ProxyType.MANUAL).setSocksVersion(5).setSocksProxy
("host:port");
FIREFOX_OPTIONS.setHeadless(true);
desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, PROXY);
webDriver = new FirefoxDriver(FIREFOX_OPTIONS.merge(desiredCapabilities));`
After starting session I receive this error message.
Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.
Without setCapability, firefox driver seems working fine, but without proxy connection.
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, PROXY);
Thanks for replies.

It might be something like:
FIREFOX_OPTIONS.addArguments(--firefox.preference "network.proxy.socks:host" + ":" + --firefox.preference "network.proxy.socks_port:port");
The syntax may be incorrect because I'm not familiar with firefox or java but I believe the arguments may have to be added. In chrome it is:
.addArguments("--proxy-server=socks5://" + host + ":" + port);

How to set BrowserMob with WebDriver?

I am trying to intercept the requests made by Webdriver using BrowserMobProxy.
But the below code is not working..It is not able to open the site google.com.
It says the "Internet Explorer cannot open the site"
proxyServer = new ProxyServer(9101);
proxyServer.start();
proxyServer.setCaptureHeaders(true);
proxyServer.setCaptureContent(true);
proxyServer.addRequestInterceptor(new RequestInterceptor() {
#Override
public void process(BrowserMobHttpRequest request, Har har) {
System.out.println("From Process method");
}
});
seleniumProxy = proxy.seleniumProxy();
seleniumProxy.setHttpProxy("localhost:9101");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, seleniumProxy);
capabilities.setCapability("ie.setProxyByServer", true);
File file = new File("C:\\path\\IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities);
driver.get("www.google.com");
I get the below error when trying to access google.com from webdrviver
From Process method
Nov 09, 2014 2:07:58 AM net.lightbody.bmp.proxy.util.Log info
INFO: java.net.UnknownHostException: www.google.com when requesting http://www.google.com/

Browsermob uses xbill DNS instead of regular Java/native DNS resolution, which may not play nice with your VPN. The latest browsermob snapshot allows you to enable native DNS fallback by setting the system property bmp.allowNativeDnsFallback to true:
System.setProperty("bmp.allowNativeDnsFallback", "true");
proxyServer = new ProxyServer(9101);
proxyServer.start();
You can get the latest snapshot at the browsermob github page.

How to start selenium browser with proxy

I am trying to start selenium and selenium's browser with proxy but not getting success.
I have used two methods:
Properties sysProps = System.getProperties();
sysProps.put("proxySet", "true");
sysProps.put("proxyHost", "190.249.188.220");
sysProps.put("proxyPort", "81");
and
java -jar lib/selenium-server.jar proxyHost=22.52.50.228 proxyPort=80
but both are not supporting.
is anyone able to help me to start selenium's browser with proxy.

You can use this:
String PROXY = "localhost:8080";
org.openqa.selenium.Proxy proxy = new org.openqa.selenium.Proxy();
proxy.setHttpProxy(PROXY)
.setFtpProxy(PROXY)
.setSslProxy(PROXY);
DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);
For more detail, refer here

try
java -Dhttp.proxyHost=HOSTNAME -Dhttp.proxyPort=PORT -Dhttp.proxyUser=USER -Dhttp.proxyPassword=PASSWORD -jar selenium-server.jar
* Dhttp.proxyHost – proxy IP address
* Dhttp.proxyPort – proxy port
* Dhttp.proxyUser – user name if HTTP-proxy authentication required;
* Dhttp.proxyPassword – user password if HTTP-proxy authentication required.
