chromedriver-http-proxy

Simple HTTP proxy that renders pages with undetected-chromedriver and returns the rendered HTML.

Features

• Solves Anubis
• Solves go-away
• Solves similiar POW challenges
• Sometimes bypasses Cloudflare Turnstile

Installation

Container

docker run --rm -p "32323:32323" ghcr.io/s4wyer/chromedriver-http-proxy # or s44wyer/chromedriver-http-proxy

There's also a Docker compose example with better config.

System

uv:

sudo apt install chromium # or sudo pacman -S chromium
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -r pyproject.toml
uvx playwright install

pip:

sudo apt install chromium # or sudo pacman -S chromium
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install

Usage

Run proxy.py, and make a request to localhost:32323/?url=https://ifconfig.me.

You can also pass several arguments.

# default port: 32323
# default host: 0.0.0.0
# default wait: 10 (seconds)
# default user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/138.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
# default headless mode: True
python proxy.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 1337 --wait 5 --headless False --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020921 Netscape/7.0"

Notes

I built this mainly to solve Anubis challenges for my Miniflux RSS instance, so it's a little rough around the edges.

This proxy has no authentication, and I don't plan to add any (PRs welcome though!). Don't expose it to the internet.

TODO

• ARM Docker images
• Send JS/CSS to the client
• Custom Chromium binary locations
• More CLI arguments to control ChromeDriver behavior
• Error handling (404, 403, 429)
• Screenshot endpoint
• Allow custom headers
• POST requests
• Docker image
