FlareSolverr is a proxy server that bypasses Cloudflare and DDoS-GUARD protection by solving browser challenges with Selenium and undetected-chromedriver. It exposes a REST API that returns solved cookies and HTML so other HTTP clients can access protected sites.

Use cases

  • bypass cloudflare challenge when scraping a website
  • get cloudflare clearance cookies for indexers like jackett or prowlarr
  • run a self-hosted proxy to fetch pages behind ddos-guard
  • solve cloudflare captcha challenges via a rest api
  • integrate cloudflare bypass into a docker-based scraping stack

When to choose

  • you need to fetch content from Cloudflare-protected sites programmatically
  • you want a self-hosted Docker service with a simple REST API
  • your scraping tools (indexers, scrapers) support FlareSolverr as a resolver

When to avoid

  • you need high-throughput scraping - each request spawns a memory-heavy browser
  • the target site uses advanced bot detection that undetected-chromedriver cannot pass
  • you need a lightweight in-process library rather than a standalone server
