UC getting detected on a website(protected by DataDome) whereas original browser is not

[ignis-tech-solutions]

Hi, I'm trying to open a website but after accepting the T&C, it shows a captcha, solving which it says blocked on using UC. But normal google chrome works fine. I've also tried using NordVPN but no luck.

From what I know they are using datadome for security. Does anyone have a workaround to bypass this?

I can add more information if needed, please let me know.

The same thing happened to me. You can experiment with specifying different browser versions (browser_executable_path) and user_data_dir, which worked for a while but quickly broke.

I'll try that out. One way I found(that will work for sometime) is to manually solve the captcha and retrieve the cookies from the request, then use the same cookies to run the automation with either UC or requests. Not sure for how long this will work though.

I tried the cookie way before, and it has worked, but it doesn't work for me recently.
For my case, datadome used geetest captcha before but it changed now.

Unfortunately, I'm experiencing the same issue as well. After a clean start, it doesn't get detected on the first run, but it does on subsequent runs no matter what I do. I'm also using this fork: #1010.

I see that there was also an issue about this elsewhere, and I'm experiencing exactly what's shown in the video (seleniumbase/SeleniumBase#1760).

Fun fact: If I open the page in regular Chrome browser from a fresh IP address in incognito mode, it works fine. If I refresh the page, it still works. But when I open the inspector and refresh the page, it immediately blocks the IP address. (https://antoinevastel.com/bots/datadome)

A temporary workaround for me is to constantly switch proxies. Still working on it...

[ignis-tech-solutions]

How are you maintaining a session when changing proxies?

[donggoing]

I do not. just simply switching.

[ignis-tech-solutions]

Can you show the code where you're rotating proxies and bypassing them? Also, which proxies are you using, I'm using bright data.

[donggoing]

Just some tunnel proxy services.
BTW, is there any solution now?
