uc_gui_click_captcha reloads the website with proxy

[SemiRad]

from seleniumbase import SB

PROXY_STRING = f"socks5://{proxy}"

with SB(uc=True, proxy=PROXY_STRING) as sb:
    print(PROXY_STRING)
    sb.uc_open_with_reconnect(url, 5)
    sb.uc_gui_click_captcha()
    sb.sleep(5)
    sb.wait_for_ready_state_complete()
    html_content = sb.get_page_source()
    print(html_content)

Currently running this code on a docker server, when I test it locally (with UI), this is what happens:

1. Loads the webpage
2. Wait for the captcha to load and;
3. Reloads the webpage (this would loop and never solve the captcha)

Here's what I tried doing:

1. Remove proxy entirely (works)
2. Change proxy to http, https, socks5h (doesn't work / site can't be reached

For my search of similar discussions, I've only seen errors from socks proxy that needs authentication, my socks are unauthenticated.

That's using plain UC Mode, which was replaced by CDP Mode over a year ago.

sb.uc_open_with_reconnect(url, timeout) was replaced by sb.activate_cdp_mode(url).

sb.uc_gui_click_captcha() was replaced by sb.solve_captcha().

sb.wait_for_ready_state_complete() is WebDriver-only, which isn't stealthy.

Check out the CDP Mode folder for all the new examples and documentation.

oh okay, I'll read on it. I originally coded this using sb_cdp but I had no luck running it on my docker server, I'll try it again.

PROXY_STRING = f"socks5://{proxy}" if proxy else None

with SB(uc=True, proxy=PROXY_STRING) as sb:
    sb.activate_cdp_mode(url)
    sb.sleep(10)
    sb.solve_captcha()
    sb.sleep(10)
    html_content = sb.get_page_source()
    print(html_content)

updated my code but the issue still persists when using the proxy. It runs in the docker perfectly if I remove the proxy entirely on the script, but if I add it back it still loops on the cloudflare

Sounds like it might be a bad proxy (eg. non-residential proxy).
Try with a different one and see if you get a different outcome.

Ah yes, the proxies I use are datacenter proxies. That explains it.
