Crawlee Proxy

title: Undetected ChromeDriver Proxy for compliant, stable browser automation

description: A commercial blueprint for lawful, high-fidelity automation using clean residential IPs and disciplined session control—focused on your own properties and permitted flows. We do not provide or endorse bypass of authentication, paywalls, DRM, or CAPTCHA systems.

Reliability at scale starts with identity hygiene, not tricks. Use geo-verified residential exits to mirror real audiences and tie each run to a clear business purpose (QA on your domains, partner-permitted checks, or public, non-gated content). Keep short-lived identities for discovery, and sticky sessions where state matters—locale, cart, calendar, or profile pages.

• Geo & headers coherence: align IP country, time zone, and Accept-Language so pages render the intended market view without triggering false positives.
• Rotation on milestones: switch identities on filter changes, page-depth boundaries, or route transitions rather than every request—preserving cookies while limiting exposure per IP.
• Traffic budgets: cap RPS per origin and per ASN; stagger schedules across dayparts to emulate realistic usage patterns.
• Provenance & consent: maintain IP provenance logs and written permissions where applicable; never touch gated areas without authorization.

“Stealth” here means reducing automation false positives while staying within rules—not breaking defenses. Favor realism over obfuscation and keep a documented policy of what you refuse to do.

• Realistic client profiles: consistent viewport/DPR, font lists, media features, and TLS/HTTP/2 signatures that match declared devices—avoiding cartoonish randomness.
• Minimal, auditable patches: use only stability fixes necessary for rendering parity; record versions and change reasons. If a page asks for extra proof (e.g., login, challenge), stop or switch to an approved integration instead of forcing passage.
• Headless readiness signals: rely on key-selector presence and network-idle checks with strict time budgets to prevent runaway renders and noisy retries.
• Separation of concerns: harvest stable JSON where available; escalate to rendering only when essential anchors are missing.

We do not provide instructions or tools to bypass CAPTCHAs, authentication, paywalls, or DRM. For protected routes, request API or partner access.

High-friction flows often arise on your own properties or in explicitly permitted partner tests. Treat ChromeDriver as a precision instrument for these legitimate cases:

• First-party QA & monitoring: validate journeys (search → filter → detail → checkout step), locale correctness, and evidence screenshots for release sign-off.
• Account & settings checks (with permission): verify profile edits, multi-step forms, and policy disclosures; confirm that rate limits and warnings display properly.
• Challenge-prone routes: if a flow frequently triggers challenges, treat that as a signal. Engage the site owner to obtain sandbox tokens, test flags, or official APIs—don’t attempt circumvention.

Package outcomes as structured JSON for BI and as human-readable briefs for product, trust & safety, and compliance teams.

Choose partners on measurable fidelity and governance—not claims about “undetectability.” Your bake-off should reflect real use and produce audit-ready artifacts.

• IP cleanliness: verifiable residential sources, ASN diversity, city-level routing, and removal/quarantine of flagged exits.
• Patch stewardship: timely Chrome/driver alignment, changelogs, and rollback plans. Vendors should decline requests that would weaken site security controls.
• Success metrics: valid-page yield after retries (not just 200s), renderer crash rate, and median/95p time-to-ready by route and market.
• Observability: request IDs, provenance logs, schema validation, evidence PNG hashes, and cost per 1k successful captures.
• Compliance & risk: documented no-bypass policy (auth, CAPTCHAs, paywalls, DRM), encryption in transit/at rest, least-privilege access, retention windows, and kill-switches.
• Commercials: pricing tied to successful, schema-valid artifacts with clear geo/device caps to prevent overruns.

Bottom line. When used for the right jobs—your sites, partner-authorized tests, and public, non-gated pages—an Undetected ChromeDriver Proxy delivers stable, realistic automation without crossing red lines. Build on clean IPs, disciplined sessions, and transparent governance, and you’ll ship faster QA, clearer evidence, and trustworthy data—no hacks required.
