Best Practices for Setting Up a Puppeteer Proxy Server with SOCKS5h Support?

16 Replies, 2102 Views

Hey! Just wanted to chime in—setting up a Puppeteer proxy server SOCKS5h can be a pain, but it’s doable.

I’d suggest using `puppeteer-extra` with the proxy plugin. It’s way easier than messing with launch args manually.

Also, if your proxy requires auth, make sure to encode the credentials properly in the URL.

Cloud setups are generally smoother, but local works too if you’re just testing.

Here’s a snippet that might help:

```javascript
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra');
const ProxyPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-proxy');
puppeteer.use(ProxyPlugin({ address: 'your-proxy-ip', port: 1080 }));
```

Hope this gets you unstuck!
