Thanks for that, but that example is for SOC5, i needed HTTP:8080
but I sorted it.
Most of the examples quote this code below
('--proxy-server=https://%s' % PROXY)
but for backend proxies it should be
('--proxy-server=' + PROXY)
Why ? Who the fuck knows
Do I care? No, it works.. move on to next bit.

This should work for selenium.
Another way to do this would be to use puppeteer. Working code below (taken from a private bot of mine):
Code:
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
headless: true,
args: [
'--no-sandbox',
'--disable-setuid-sandbox',
`--proxy-server=${proxy}`
]
});The Oracle

Typically you gotta whitelist the bot IP at the proxy server. White listed proxies work easiest, I have had difficulties myself getting proxies that require a password to work.

Here's an example
Python:
from selenium import webdriver
PROXY_HOST = 'proxy.example.com'
PROXY_PORT = '1234'
PROXY_USER = 'your_username'
PROXY_PASS = 'your_password'
prox = Proxy()
prox.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
prox.http_proxy = f"{PROXY_USER}:{PROXY_PASS}@{PROXY_HOST}:{PROXY_PORT}"
prox.ssl_proxy = f"{PROXY_USER}:{PROXY_PASS}@{PROXY_HOST}:{PROXY_PORT}"
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
prox.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities)

why not try to use the proxy to your server that runs selenium script?
