- 2Configure the Aethyn proxy via seleniumwire_options.
- 3Launch the patched Chrome driver.
- 4Use Elite + city targeting for the toughest sites.
Code
undetected-chromedriver + Selenium Wire
# Selenium Wire ships a UC-patched driver: keeps the anti-bot
# patches AND adds authenticated-proxy support.
import seleniumwire.undetected_chromedriver as uc
proxy = "http://aethyn-XXXXX-country-us:PASSWORD@proxy.aethyn.io:2099"
seleniumwire_options = {"proxy": {"http": proxy, "https": proxy}}
driver = uc.Chrome(seleniumwire_options=seleniumwire_options)
driver.get("https://httpbin.org/ip")
print(driver.page_source)
driver.quit()Replace aethyn-XXXXX and PASSWORD with your dashboard credentials. See the full targeting reference and protocol/port list.
Tips
- Use the Elite tier for sites with advanced anti-bot stacks.
- Hold a sticky session for multi-step authenticated flows.
- Keep Chrome and the driver versions in sync.
