Requests suddenly very slow, access denied

[strukiii]

Hi there,

Firstly, thanks for your time spent on the project its been a huge help. Two nights ago the speed of requests suddenly reduced by 4-5x resulting in logins on the site failing. I'd rather not fully elaborate on 'failing', it's a bit of an explanation, but for now let's focus on the speed of the requests. The browser hangs on 'establishing a secure connection' and 'waiting for xyz.com' far longer than it did days ago.

I'm running Windows 10. I hadn't updated anything to my knowledge, but since then I've updated libraries (selenium, selenium-wire, undetected-chromedriver and selectolax in my venv) with Python 3.10.4 and still see the same behavior. I'm running OpenSSL 1.1.1n 15 Mar 2022. CPU usage seems fine, peaking at about 20% and averaging about 10%. Running undetected chromedriver standalone does work fine and allows a login, in addition to near instant requests. I can't use it standalone though, as I'm capturing requests for my use case. I'm not using a proxy or specific settings, but I had been using

driver = uc.Chrome(service=Service("chromedriver.exe"))

when my program was working fine. I've since removed service, and I see the same behavior. I assume this has nothing to do with it, I'm still somewhat new to the library and was more so copy pasting that part.

Thanks a lot for the read, I look forward to hearing back.

An additional anecdote from a different site. Again, works fine with standalone UC.
