Ultimate Web ScraperProxies & Page Unblocker for Cloud Scraping
Choose ISP or residential proxies with country and city targeting, and let the Page Unblocker solve Cloudflare Turnstile challenges automatically.
Cloud browsers come with two anti-blocking features you configure per task in the Run in Cloud wizard: Browser Location (which proxy the cloud browser uses) and the Page Unblocker (what happens when a page throws a challenge).
Browser Location (proxies)
Every cloud run goes through a proxy. You choose the type and where it appears to be from:
- Proxy type: ISP or Residential.
- Location: pick a country, and optionally a city.
- Default: ISP proxy with a random location — no configuration needed for most sites.
ISP vs. residential — when to use which
| ISP | Residential | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | IPs registered to internet service providers, served from stable infrastructure | IPs from real consumer connections |
| Best for | Most sites; fast, reliable default | Sites that aggressively block datacenter-adjacent traffic |
| Rule of thumb | Start here | Switch if ISP runs get blocked |
Location targeting matters when a site serves different content per region — prices, availability, listings, or language. Set the country (and city, if offered) to match the market you want to see.
Page Unblocker
The Page Unblocker handles challenge pages and blocking overlays during a cloud run:
- Cloudflare Turnstile challenges are solved automatically — the run continues and the page is extracted.
- Other captcha types are detected but not solved. DataDome, reCAPTCHA, and hCaptcha are recognized, but those pages fail with a clear error rather than hanging.
- It consumes credits — like other AI features, unblocking uses your credit balance on top of the 1-credit-per-page extraction cost.
Failed pages don't kill the run
A page that hits an unsolvable captcha errors out individually; the rest of the task keeps running. Check the run timeline in the dashboard to see which pages failed and why.
A practical escalation path
Run with defaults — ISP proxy, random location. This works for most sites.
Getting blocked? Enable the Page Unblocker if the blocks are Cloudflare challenges.
Still blocked? Switch Browser Location to a Residential proxy, and pick a country close to the site's audience.
Note that locally, the extension has no proxy or captcha handling at all — it browses as you. Proxies and unblocking are cloud-only capabilities.
