This error...

File "C:\Users\o\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 449, in get
  self.execute(Command.GET, {"url": url})

implies there was a error with the get() request.

I executed a basic Selenium-Python code block accessing the url https://www.expressvpn.com/what-is-my-ip as follows:

  • Code block:

    driver.get('https://www.expressvpn.com/what-is-my-ip')
driver.save_screenshot("what-is-my-ip.png")
driver.quit()

  • Browser snapshot:

what-is-my-ip

Conclusion

The basic program accessing the url https://www.expressvpn.com/what-is-my-ip works absolutely fine. So there can be two reasons for the error:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED

Either the Proxy is down/invalid or the Proxy settings are incorrect.
