Do not bypass cloudflare with headless active after 117 update. Does anyone have any alternatives to resolve this?

use hidemium.io

I'm talking about Undetected Chromedriver

ud chromedriver is currently outdated

Yeah Chrome 117 Headless is currently being detected and haven't seen a fix yet :(

My workaround was downloading the portable version of Chrome 116, and then overriding the chrome executable path to chrome driver to 'GoogleChromePortable/App/Chrome-bin/chrome.exe'

Update: Apparently its just the User Agent that contains HeadlessChrome, so overriding the ua to something else will fix the issue.

So adding the normale Chrome user agent to the webdriver will also work, just add the UA to the driver options before starting the driver.

    ua = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/117.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'
    options.add_argument(f'--user-agent={ua}')

This helped, thank you!

@Helza , @andinua , could you modify the following docker file or provide a docker file for a container in which passing the cloudflare can be reproduced?

My try cannot reproduce the expected behavior:

# Dockerfile
FROM selenoid/chrome:116.0

USER root

RUN apt-get update || true

RUN apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends pip

RUN pip install undetected-chromedriver

RUN mkdir /test

WORKDIR /test

ENTRYPOINT ["python3", "test.py"]

with the modified test script from the documentation:

# test.py
from time import sleep

import undetected_chromedriver as uc

options = uc.ChromeOptions()

options.headless=True

ua = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/117.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'
options.add_argument(f'--user-agent={ua}')

driver = uc.Chrome(version_main=116, headless=True, use_subprocess=False, options=options)
driver.get('https://nowsecure.nl')
sleep(5)
driver.save_screenshot('nowsecure.png')

and building the image and running the container:

docker build -t loc-ud-chrome-116 .
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/test loc-ud-chrome-116

Note: see #1600 for the remote version.
