Is it feasible to perform testing on a website that's hidden behind a VPN using Playwright?

Can you use a proxy instead? Otherwise, you could spin up a VM that is connected to the vpn to run your playwright scripts.

Thank you @gram7059 . I have a couple of follow-up questions because I'm a bit new to this subject. If they were to agree to set up a proxy server, would it be as straightforward as configuring the server address, username, and password in the Playwright configuration? Would the tests work smoothly without the need for any additional setup(both on local machine and linux machines on jenkins)?

No problem. I have not tried it myself, to hope another one can jump in and answer

Maybe the client could grant your company's network access to their website? Assuming you're running secure network. That would be the easiest way.

Do you have access to the VPN from your local machine? If yes, you can always run the tests locally.

No, I do not have the access.

@skorp32 They're not open to it.

welp, then I see no way to test it

well, proxy is probably way to go, they should implement it on their side and give you url and credentials to use it, in turn you'll need to provide playwright url/credentials according to docs https://playwright.dev/docs/network#http-proxy
