Cloudflare Bypass

Bypass Cloudflare with Puppeteer

Stop getting blocked by Cloudflare. Bypass Turnstile challenges, bot detection, and WAF rules automatically with stealth Puppeteer in the cloud.

The Cloudflare Problem

Cloudflare protects over 20% of all websites, making web scraping and automation increasingly difficult

Challenge Pages
Cloudflare Turnstile blocks your Puppeteer scripts with challenge pages that require JavaScript and browser fingerprint verification
  • ×Interactive challenges that stop headless browsers
  • ×Device fingerprinting detects automation tools
  • ×Behavioral analysis flags bot-like patterns
Bot Detection
Advanced bot management detects headless Chrome and Puppeteer scripts even without challenge pages
  • ×WebDriver detection blocks automated browsers
  • ×IP reputation blocking from cloud providers
  • ×Rate limiting stops scraping at scale
Solution

The Browserless Solution

Run Puppeteer with built-in Cloudflare bypass - no configuration needed

Stealth Fingerprints
Browser fingerprints automatically randomized to bypass Cloudflare's device fingerprinting. WebDriver flags removed, canvas fingerprinting blocked.
Turnstile Solving
Automatic Cloudflare Turnstile challenge solving with integrated CAPTCHA solving services. Challenges are bypassed transparently.
Residential IPs
Optional residential proxy integration to avoid IP-based blocking from Cloudflare. Appear as real users from any location.

Simple Puppeteer Integration

Just change your WebSocket endpoint - Cloudflare bypass is automatic

Before: Gets Blocked by Cloudflare
Standard Puppeteer scripts are easily detected and blocked
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';

// This will likely be blocked by Cloudflare
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  headless: true,
  args: ['--no-sandbox']
});

const page = await browser.newPage();

// Cloudflare detects headless Chrome and shows challenge page
await page.goto('https://cloudflare-protected-site.com');

// Script fails or gets blocked
const content = await page.content();
await browser.close();
After: Bypasses Cloudflare Automatically
Connect to Browserless for automatic Cloudflare bypass
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer-core';

// Connect to Browserless with built-in Cloudflare bypass
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
  browserWSEndpoint: 'wss://production-sfo.browserless.io?token=YOUR_API_KEY'
});

const page = await browser.newPage();

// Cloudflare bypass is automatic - stealth fingerprints & Turnstile solving
await page.goto('https://cloudflare-protected-site.com');

// Successfully access the protected content
const content = await page.content();
console.log('Successfully bypassed Cloudflare!');

await browser.close();
Advanced: Handle Complex Cloudflare Scenarios
Additional options for tougher Cloudflare protection
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer-core';

// Use stealth mode with additional evasion options
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
  browserWSEndpoint:
    'wss://production-sfo.browserless.io?token=YOUR_API_KEY&stealth=true'
});

const page = await browser.newPage();

// Set realistic viewport and user agent
await page.setViewport({ width: 1920, height: 1080 });

// Navigate with realistic timing
await page.goto('https://cloudflare-protected-site.com', {
  waitUntil: 'networkidle2',
  timeout: 30000
});

// Wait for Cloudflare challenge to resolve (if present)
try {
  await page.waitForSelector('body', { timeout: 10000 });
} catch (error) {
  console.log('Cloudflare challenge detected, waiting for bypass...');
  await page.waitForTimeout(5000);
}

// Extract data after bypassing Cloudflare
const data = await page.evaluate(() => {
  return {
    title: document.title,
    content: document.body.textContent
  };
});

console.log('Data extracted:', data);
await browser.close();
REST API Alternative
Bypass Cloudflare without writing Puppeteer code
// Use Browserless REST API to bypass Cloudflare
const response = await fetch('https://production-sfo.browserless.io/content', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: 'https://cloudflare-protected-site.com',
    waitFor: 'networkidle2',
    stealth: true
  })
});

const html = await response.text();
console.log('Successfully bypassed Cloudflare:', html);

How Cloudflare Bypass Works

Multi-layered approach to defeat Cloudflare's bot detection

Browser Fingerprint Evasion

Cloudflare analyzes dozens of browser properties to detect automation. We randomize and sanitize fingerprints including user agent, screen resolution, WebGL renderer, audio context, fonts, plugins, and timezone. WebDriver flags are removed completely.

Turnstile Challenge Solving

When Cloudflare presents a Turnstile challenge, our system automatically detects and solves it using integrated CAPTCHA solving services. The challenge is resolved transparently without any code changes.

Behavioral Pattern Matching

Cloudflare tracks mouse movements, keyboard timing, and scroll patterns. Our browsers simulate realistic human behavior with natural timing variations and movement patterns that pass behavioral analysis.

TLS Fingerprint Masking

Cloudflare examines TLS handshakes to identify automated browsers. We use realistic TLS fingerprints that match real Chrome browsers to avoid detection at the network level.

IP Reputation Management

Optional residential proxy integration allows you to route requests through residential IPs, avoiding Cloudflare's datacenter IP blocking. Support for rotating proxies and geo-targeting.
