What Web Unblocker Handles Best

Web Unblocker achieves 99%+ success rates on:

✅ Ecommerce Platforms (such as):

  • Amazon

  • Shopee

✅ Travel & Booking (such as):

  • Booking.com

  • Expedia

✅ Job Boards (such as):

  • Indeed

And thousands more sites using Cloudflare or similar standard anti-bot protection.

Anti-Bot Systems We Handle

✅ Cloudflare Protection

  • Cloudflare CAPTCHA challenges

  • Cloudflare Turnstile

  • Cloudflare Managed Challenge

  • Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode

  • Cloudflare Rate Limiting

  • Cloudflare JavaScript Challenge

✅ JavaScript-Based Detection

  • Browser fingerprinting

  • JavaScript rendering requirements

  • Dynamic content loading

  • AJAX-loaded pages

  • Single-page applications (SPAs)

✅ IP-Based Blocking

  • IP reputation checks

  • Rate limiting by IP

  • Geographic IP restrictions

  • Automated IP rotation to avoid bans

✅ Geo-Restrictions

  • Country-level content blocking

  • Regional pricing access

  • Location-based availability checks

  • Multi-region data collection

What Web Unblocker Doesn't Support Yet

Search Engine Result Pages (SERP)

  • ❌ Google Search results

  • ❌ Bing Search results

  • ❌ DuckDuckGo results

  • ❌ Baidu, Yandex, and other search engines

Why: Search engines employ proprietary, constantly-evolving anti-bot systems specifically designed to prevent automated access. These systems are fundamentally different from ecommerce protection and require specialized approaches we don't currently offer.

Advanced CAPTCHA Types

  • ❌ reCAPTCHA v3 (invisible, behavior-based scoring system)

  • ❌ hCaptcha puzzles (image selection challenges)

  • ❌ Image-based puzzle CAPTCHAs requiring human pattern recognition

  • ❌ Audio CAPTCHAs

  • ❌ Complex interactive challenges (drag-and-drop, slider puzzles)

Why: These CAPTCHA types require either:

  1. Active puzzle solving (which we don't perform)

  2. Long-term behavioral analysis (browsing patterns, mouse movements)

  3. Human-like interaction patterns we can't replicate

Other Current Limitation

❌ Multi-Step Authentication

  • OAuth flows

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA)

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

  • SAML/SSO systems

Why: These require user-specific credentials and interaction patterns we can't automate.

❌ Real-Time Bidding Platforms

  • Ad exchanges requiring sub-second response times

  • High-frequency trading platforms

  • Auction sites with millisecond precision requirements

Why: Our system prioritizes success rate over speed, which may not meet real-time requirements.

Tips for Maximum Success

1. Enable JavaScript Rendering When Needed

Modern sites built with React, Vue, or Angular require JavaScript rendering. Enable it with the _render-1 flag:

curl -x http://username:[email protected]:12323 https://example.com -k -v

Use rendering for:

  • Single-page applications (SPAs)

  • Dynamic content that loads after page load

  • Sites that show blank pages without JavaScript

2. Use Geo-Targeting for Regional Content

If you need location-specific data, use our geo-targeting:

# Target specific country 
username:password_country-us 

# Target US state 
username:password_country-us_state-california 

# Target city 
username:password_country-us_city-newyork

3. Let Automatic Retries Work

Web Unblocker automatically retries failed requests with new IPs. Don't implement your own retry logic on top - let our system handle it.
