A k6 that allow you to dynamic change the proxy settings

Build

To build a k6 binary with this extension, first ensure you have the prerequisites:

• Go toolchain
• Git

Then:

1. Download the xk6:

go install go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest

2. Build your k6 binnary.

import http from 'k6/http';
import proxy from 'k6/x/proxy';

const YOUR_PROXY = 'http://user:passwd@proxy.hostname'

export default function () {
  proxy.setProxy(YOUR_PROXY)

  const resp = http.get('http://httpbin.test.k6.io/get')

  proxy.clearProxy()
}
