PXM2 Selenium Helper

Official Selenium WebDriver and Selenium-Wire proxy helper for PXM2 dedicated 4G and 5G cellular mobile proxies.

Standard Selenium Chrome does not support authenticated proxies via command-line arguments. pxm2-selenium solves this by automatically generating a lightweight in-memory background extension that handles Chrome proxy authentication seamlessly, while also offering instant modem IP rotation.

For full setup walk-throughs and code samples, check out the PXM2 Integration Guides.

Features

• Automatic Chrome Proxy Extension Injection: Solves Selenium Chrome proxy authentication by generating signed proxy extensions on the fly.
• Selenium-Wire Compatibility: Ready-to-use proxy configuration dictionary for seleniumwire.webdriver.
• Hardware IP Rotation: Trigger 1-click cellular modem reconnect webhooks directly from Python with automated reconnection cooldown.
• In-flight IP Inspection: Check your current mobile CGNAT IP through the proxy using Python stdlib.
• Zero Heavy Dependencies: Pure standard library implementation.

Installation

pip install pxm2-selenium

Usage

1. Standard Selenium WebDriver (with Auto Chrome Extension)

from selenium import webdriver
from pxm2_selenium import PXM2Selenium

# Initialize PXM2 client
pxm = PXM2Selenium(
    host="proxy.pxm2.io",
    port=10001,
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password",
    rotation_url="https://api.pxm2.io/rotate/YOUR_API_TOKEN",
    cooldown=6.0
)

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# Automatically injects proxy credentials extension into Chrome
pxm.apply_to_chrome_options(options)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json")
print("Initial IP:", driver.page_source)

# Trigger instant physical mobile IP rotation
print("Rotating mobile IP...")
pxm.rotate()

driver.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json")
print("Rotated IP:", driver.page_source)

driver.quit()

2. Selenium-Wire

from seleniumwire import webdriver
from pxm2_selenium import PXM2Selenium

pxm = PXM2Selenium(
    host="proxy.pxm2.io",
    port=10001,
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password",
    rotation_url="https://api.pxm2.io/rotate/YOUR_API_TOKEN",
    cooldown=6.0
)

# Launch Selenium-Wire with PXM2 mobile proxy
driver = webdriver.Chrome(seleniumwire_options=pxm.selenium_wire_options())

driver.get("https://httpbin.org/ip")
print("Current IP:", driver.page_source)

# Rotate IP on demand
pxm.rotate()
driver.get("https://httpbin.org/ip")
print("Rotated IP:", driver.page_source)

driver.quit()

Why PXM2 4G/5G Mobile Proxies?

Unlike datacenter or common residential proxy networks that suffer from frequent subnet bans and CAPTCHA challenges, PXM2 uses dedicated physical cellular modems with SIM cards from major mobile carriers.

Because cellular networks route thousands of legitimate mobile phones through shared Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) pools, anti-bot engines (DataDome, Cloudflare, PerimeterX) cannot ban these IPs without blocking real consumer traffic.
