Failing to bypass Cloudflare with driver.uc_open_with_reconnect

[benfrankie]

Hi,

I've encountered a recurring issue where my attempts to bypass Cloudflare are only successful roughly 30-50% of the time. Additionally, the CAPTCHA handling process, particularly after clicking the verification checkbox, often fails to verify successfully.

Cloudflare Bypass Attempt: I'm using driver.uc_open_with_reconnect("https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in", 20). However, this method fails to bypass Cloudflare about 50-70% of the time.

Turnstile Handling:

def click_turnstile_and_verify(driver):
logger.info("Starting click_turnstile_and_verify")
driver.switch_to_frame("iframe")
driver.uc_click("span.mark")
driver.assert_element("img#captcha-success", timeout=3)

This method also does not consistently result in a successful bypass.

Is there a typical success rate expected for bypassing Cloudflare?

Are there any recommended adjustments or alternative methods to increase the the success rate?

Thank you for your help.

This script is working consistently for me:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True, test=True) as sb:
    url = "https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in"
    sb.driver.uc_open_with_reconnect(url, 3)
    if not sb.is_text_visible("Username", '[for="user_login"]'):
        sb.driver.uc_open_with_reconnect(url, 4)
    sb.assert_text("Username", '[for="user_login"]', timeout=3)
    sb.assert_element('label[for="user_login"]')
    sb.highlight('button:contains("Sign in")')
    sb.highlight('h1:contains("GitLab.com")')
    sb.post_message("SeleniumBase wasn't detected", duration=4)

Note that you may need to increase the reconnect_time in uc_open_with_reconnect() for slower internet connections.

Also, websites will block you if they see too much traffic coming from the same IP Address, so that could be your issue.

Adding incognito=True may help in some cases.
