I'm trying to use requests with proxies, but it only shows my local IP

Here's my test code.

Code

#!/usr/bin/python3

import requests
import random
impo


proxies = [
    "167.172.248.53:3128",
    "194.226.34.132:5555",
    "203.202.245.62:80",
    "141.0.70.211:8080",
    "118.69.50.155:80",
    "201.55.164.177:3128",
    "51.15.166.107:3128",
    "91.205.218.64:80",
    "128.199.237.57:8080",
]


def get_session(proxies):
    session = requests.Session()
    proxy = random.choice(proxies)
    session.proxies = {"http://": proxy, "https://": proxy}
    return session, proxy


for i in range(5):
    s, proxy = get_session(proxies)
    try:
        print(
            f"Proxying through {proxy}:",
            s.get("http://icanhazip.com", timeout=1.5).text.strip(),
        )
    except Exception as e:
        continue

Code

Proxying through 141.0.70.211:8080: 51.25x.xxx.193
Proxying through 201.55.164.177:3128: 51.25x.xxx.193
Proxying through 91.205.218.64:80: 51.25x.xxx.193
Proxying through 141.0.70.211:8080: 51.25x.xxx.193
Proxying through 51.15.166.107:3128: 51.25x.xxx.193

Any idea's on why this is not working?

I don't think you can do session.proxies, I think you have to do s.get('', proxies=proxy)

It's unnecessary to begin with. Just use HTTP Basic Auth with your proxy:

Code

proxies = {
    "http": "http://167.172.248.53:3128",
}
