I have been using selenium to do some web scraping and I'm in need for changing my ip. After having done some reserach into this I have discovered that it is fairly easy to setup and use a proxy. However, I am already paying for a VPN and therefore I would like to use it for this application as well. The free proxy lists that I have found have been way to slow to be useful for me.

I did some googling and found vpnc and other libraries but I couldn't get it to work all the way. I'm fairly new to web scraping and python so therefore I would appreciate if someone could help me on my level of knowledge.

Is it possible to do this or am I trying to achieve something that is way to difficult for an amateur like me? I'm trying to set this up on MacOS as well as Windows 7.

  • Check out this link: also here are few links that if first didnt help. ( but I think it should work as a guy on reddit said ) – StyleZ Mar 13 '19 at 15:05
  • Thank you for your reply. But I don't get anywhere with those links. It is to abstract still. Maybe I am in over my head. Also I'm somewhat hesitant to start a VPN on the OS level since that affects all scripts and everything on my computer. Is there anyway through a network manager or something to limit the VPN connection to a single script? – Frankster Mar 21 '19 at 06:55
  • Ngrok seemed promising but it is also way above my knowledge. I barley know what I'm reading as I'm trying to understand it. – Frankster Mar 21 '19 at 07:17
