PyQt5 - Can't change proxy more than once after QWebEngineView initialized

561 views Asked by At

I followed this solution and worked fine at the beginning.

Connect QWebEngine to proxy

But i cant change proxy again after i change it once or QWebEngineView doesnt cares it.

The original code contains more than that, so i purified it to a working example to demonstrate my problem

Assume our ip is "x.x.x.x", proxy1's ip is "y.y.y.y", and proxy2's ip is "z.z.z.z"

When you run the sample code you have to see

  1. x.x.x.x
  2. y.y.y.y
  3. z.z.z.z

but i got

  1. x.x.x.x
  2. y.y.y.y
  3. y.y.y.y

So, any ideas how to solve that?

Sample running code: (just change proxy infos in test function. You may try any working proxies from here: http://free-proxy.cz/en/).
