Proxy Management & Browser Automation

A Python automation module that assigns proxies to browser sessions, checks connection health and records IP stability across each run.

The task
Make browser runs traceable when different proxy connections are used.
My role
The proxy-management and browser-session module within a larger automation project.
Delivered
Proxy assignment, connection checks, IP-change reporting and optional rotation between runs.
Overview

Make browser runs easier to manage and diagnose.

A proxy-management module built for a Python and Playwright automation project. It keeps proxy selection, connection checks and reporting in a repeatable workflow for individual and batch runs.

The problem

Browser automation needs a clear record of which connection each run used. Unavailable proxies and unexpected IP changes can otherwise be difficult to trace.

Implementation
  • Load a configurable proxy pool with HTTP and SOCKS5 support.
  • Assign one proxy per run and distribute batch runs using round-robin selection.
  • Check the external IP before and after each run and flag changes in the report.
  • Request IP rotation between runs when supported by the proxy provider.
  • Check proxy availability and verify the full Playwright connection path with diagnostic tools.
