How to use Puppeteer with a VPN or proxy?

To use Puppeteer with a VPN or proxy, you need to set up your VPN or proxy connection before launching Puppeteer. Here's how you can do it:

Set up your VPN or proxy connection on your machine. Make sure that your VPN/proxy is working correctly and your IP address has changed.
In your Puppeteer script, you can launch the browser with specific proxy settings. Here's an example code snippet:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    args: [
      `--proxy-server=your_proxy_address_here`
    ]
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');

  //add your scraping code here

  await browser.close();
})();

Replace your_proxy_address_here with your actual proxy address. This code snippet will launch the browser with the specified proxy settings.

Make sure that your proxy settings are correct and the browser is able to connect through the proxy. You can test it by navigating to a website that displays your IP address to confirm that the proxy is working.

That's it! You should now be able to use Puppeteer with a VPN or proxy.
