How To Set Proxy Settings On Macos Using Python

How to change the internet proxy settings using python in MacOS to set Proxy server and Proxy port I do that with windows using this code: import _winreg as winreg INTERNET_SETTIN

Solution 1:

After a long time of search, I found this way of how to change proxy on MacOs using python.

We need to use networksetup via terminal.

To set HTTP proxy server on MacOS using python:

importosproxy="proxy.example.com"
port = 8080

def Proxy_on():
    os.system('networksetup -setwebproxy Ethernet '+proxy+' '+port)

Proxy_on()

and to turn it off:

importosproxy="proxy.example.com"
port = 8080

def Proxy_off():
    os.system('networksetup -setwebproxystate Ethernet off')

Proxy_off()

If the network service isn't named just "Ethernet", you may need to parse networksetup -listallnetworkservices or -listnetworkserviceorder to get the correct name.
