'enable VPN from the GUI and the setting got saved in the active Options: this takes an instance of ChromeOptions You are trying to use OperaOptions not ChromeOptions, from Python version is 3.6.7 and Opera version is.

If it is of any concern I use Ubuntu 16.04, and OperaDriver is downloaded from the official github page.

I tried to do this in python and nothing worked out. OperaOptions.addArguments('user-data-dir', '~/Library/Application Support/') The code posted in the link is OperaOptions operaOptions = new OperaOptions() The OP says that he was able to make it work by using OperaOptions to load a custom profile. The closest I got was this feature request on github. There seems to be absolutely no documentation or any other questions related to this anywhere. I have searched almost all questions on OperaDriver on SO as well as on other sites. But my script opens up the browser to display my real IP address. When I go to this site on the opera browser with VPN enabled, my IP is masked and some other IP address is shown. from selenium import webdriverįrom import Optionsĭriver = webdriver.Opera(executable_path=r'/path/to/operadriver') I have this script that goes to a website to display my IP address. My question is can the VPN be turned on while using OperaDriver with selenium in python? The opera browser has a built-in VPN which allows you to hide your IP while browsing.

Does the opera vpn work
