How to bypass Cloudflare

Cloudflare is an American multinational technology company, which mainly provides website security and performance optimization services. It provides services such as content distribution network (CDN), distributed domain name resolution (DNS) and Web Application Firewall, WAF) for websites through its global distributed data centers (also called edge servers or CDN nodes).

There are many ways to bypass Cloudflare, and each method has its own characteristics and applicable scenarios. Here are some main methods:

Use proxy: By using proxy server, you can hide your real IP address, thus reducing the possibility of being recognized as a crawler by Cloudflare. Agency services can be divided into free and paid services, and paid agents usually provide better stability and speed.

Modify the hosts file: by modifying the hosts file of the local computer, direct the domain name of the target website to its IP address, thus bypassing the DNS resolution of Cloudflare and directly accessing the original IP of the website.

Use VPN: Virtual private network (VPN) can encrypt your network traffic, forward requests through VPN server, and hide your real IP address, thus bypassing the detection of Cloudflare.

Set DNS: change the DNS settings of the local or router and use other DNS service providers to bypass the DNS resolution of Cloudflare.

Use Cloud Penetration API: Cloud Penetration API is a service that can help users bypass the robot verification of Cloudflare, including CAPTCHA verification, WAF, CC protection, etc. It provides HTTP API and proxy, and supports setting browser fingerprint device features such as Referer, browser UA and headless status.

Using browser simulation technology: By simulating the browser behavior of real users with tools such as Selenium or PhantomJS, the verification of Cloudflare can be bypassed. This method needs to simulate the normal access behavior of users, including setting appropriate access frequency and random delay.

Cracking the encryption of request parameters: Analyze the generation rules of Cloudflare verification parameters, and write codes to generate correct verification parameters, thus bypassing the verification of the 5-second shield. This method may involve high technical difficulty and legal risk.

Use a Web Unlocker: A Web Unlocker is a service that handles all aspects of bypassing network security measures, including IP rotation, CAPTCHA resolution, and JavaScript challenges. It dynamically allocates requests by rotating IP address pool, and integrates advanced CAPTCHA solution technology.

Use Web Crawling API: Web Crawling API provides a simple way to extract data without dealing with the complexity of proxy and CAPTCHA solution. These APIs usually provide the tools and technical support needed to solve the security measures of Cloudflare.

Use ZenRows：ZenRows is a web crawling API that can bypass Cloudflare in Python with a single request. It simplifies the process of integrating the grabbing task into the workflow through its advanced anti-robot function and agent mode.

Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and the purpose, scale, budget and legal compliance of data collection need to be considered when choosing the appropriate method. When implementing any bypass measures, we should ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations and respect the rights and interests of the target website.
