Use of Proxy in Selenium

Question

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 you are trying to verify the country and to do so try to open the mylocation.org and check whether you are able to get the desired location or not. This will confirm the correct working of your proxy. — Abhishek Dhoundiyal

Are you sure your VPN is working fine? Open normal firefox browser and set the proxy manually and verify that your proxy is working or not. — Abhishek Dhoundiyal

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/#/");
