Selenium proxies

Recommended proxy: Datacenter proxies Give authorized web regression tests an explicit browser exit and logs.

What this workflow needs

  • Distinguish the WebDriver control channel from browser page requests.
  • Preserve screenshot, status and exit before retrying a failed case.

Recommended setup and alternatives

Datacenter proxies

Fixed HTTP datacenter access makes Selenium runs comparable; choose residential regional access for public UI checks across locations. Verify driver and browser protocol support.

Common questions

Questions about this task

Does proxying the driver cover the browser?

First diagnose assertion, page, auth or network causes so a regression is not hidden.

Platform names identify use cases, not official partnerships, eligibility guarantees or tested compatibility.
