To click on the element with text as View IP Detail you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using xpath and the textContext:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='link-indicator'][contains(.,'View IP Detail')]").click()

Using xpath and the textContext of preceding element:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[contains(.,'ISP')]//following::span[@class='link-indicator'][contains(.,'View IP Detail')]").click()

Ideally, to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using XPATH and the textContext:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@class='link-indicator'][contains(.,'View IP Detail')]"))).click()

Using XPATH and the textContext of preceding element:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(.,'ISP')]//following::span[@class='link-indicator'][contains(.,'View IP Detail')]"))).click()

Note: You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
