SOCKS + UC mode?

[GTWHTX]

Is there's any way to connect proxy with UC mode? I've read that wire and uc not compatible with each other, but if im trying to connect proxy like that - Driver(proxy="login:password@socks5://ip:port") it gives an error: ERR_SOCKS_CONNECTION_FAILED

Thank you. With at least one known working socks5 proxy-with-auth to test with, I can keep playing around with that configuration file until it actually works. I couldn't find anything specific to socks5 proxy-with-auth on Stack Overflow. Only regular http/https proxy-with-auth.

Got this working:

from seleniumbase import Driver

def set_proxy():
    driver.proxy = {
        "http": "socks5://7740735-all-country-IN-session-1:unfow9oi6@194.88.105.177:55328",
        "https": "socks5://7740735-all-country-IN-session-1:unfow9oi6@194.88.105.177:55328",
        "no_proxy": "localhost,127.0.0.1",
    }

driver = Driver(wire=True)
try:
    set_proxy()
    driver.get("https://ipinfo.io/")
    driver.sleep(5)
finally:
    driver.quit()

(And no code changes were needed for this!)

What about UC mode without wire?

After 30 minutes of experimentation with https://stackoverflow.com/a/35293284/7058266, I'm still unable to get that algorithm working with socks5. That algorithm is used for setting a proxy without using selenium-wire. I may have to rethink the algorithm. I'm be doing a lot more experimentation with it. I feel like it could be a small change to make it work. Regular proxy-with-auth works with it. Not yet sure why socks5 proxy would be that much different. If you figure it out before I do, let me know so that I can update SeleniumBase with those changes.

I suppose one way would be figuring out how to fix the selenium-wire bugs that prevent combining that with UC Mode. Then UC mode could be activated, while setting the proxy with selenium-wire. So far, that has only led to detection if it works at all.
