Does Crawlee Support Sock5 Proxies with Authentication?

At a glance

The community member is building a crawler using the Crawlee library and Playwright, and needs to use SOCKS5 proxies with authentication. However, they could not find any information about this in the Crawlee documentation. Another community member provided a format for a SOCKS5 proxy URL that requires authentication: socks5://username:password@host:port. The community member was unsure if their proxy string was correct.

A SOCKS5 proxy URL that requires authentication follows this format:

socks5://username:password@host:port

host -> The IP address (or hostname) of the proxy server.
port -> The port number the proxy server is listening on (As far as I know, default for SOCKS5 is 1080).

Make sure to use the actual credentials and server details for your proxy.
