selenium wire v2 undetected driver not working properly #429

selenium wire v2 undetected driver cannot bypass cloudflare unlike the undetected driver found here (https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver)

Thanks for raising this.

Yes unfortunately undetected chromedriver + Selenium Wire is not 100% effective in preventing bot detection. The reason comes down to TLS fingerprinting. Selenium Wire works by sending traffic through an internal proxy server it starts in the background. This means that the traffic has a different TLS fingerprint when it reaches the server than that of a browser running pure Selenium or undetected chromedriver. The server (e.g. Cloudflare) can see that the fingerprint is non-standard and throws up bot detection measures. You could try running the Tor Browser which is designed to prevent websites from fingerprinting.
