Topic browser automation
Proxies for Agent Zero: four fields, one that cannot work
Agent Zero has a real browser proxy setting: server, bypass, username, password. One combination it invites you to use cannot authenticate at all.
Proxies for OpenHands: you are reading the wrong repository
The repo with 88,810 stars is now the OpenHands interface. The agent and its browser tool live in a separate SDK, and that tool has no proxy option.
Proxies for OpenManus: the setting is there, the reader is gone
OpenManus still ships a browser proxy block in its config. The tool that read it was deleted, and the browser now runs where your variables cannot reach.
Proxies for AutoGen: no proxy option, one parameter that saves it
AutoGen's web surfer launches its browser with two options and neither is a proxy. The constructor takes a browser context, and that is where the address goes.
Proxies for Camofox: the proxy is also the location switch
Camofox takes a proxy in environment variables. Adding one also turns on location matching, and there is a ten second cap you should know about.
Proxies for CloakBrowser: three routes for one login
CloakBrowser takes a proxy in one argument, but your login can travel three different ways. Which one you get depends on your platform and your build.
Proxies for Obscura: one flag, and three things it does not set
Obscura takes a proxy in one flag and ignores HTTP_PROXY entirely. What it covers, what it drops in silence, and what you still have to align yourself.
Proxies for Patchright: the option is unchanged, the traffic is not
Patchright inherits Playwright's proxy option untouched. What changes is everything around it: request routes, the browser cache, and one leak.
Proxies for PinchTab: where the setting lives when you run ten browsers
PinchTab refuses a login inside the proxy URL, refuses half a login, and refuses to launch with a broken one. Here is where the setting goes instead.
Proxies for puppeteer-extra: the stealth plugin does not hide your address
The stealth plugin has seventeen evasions and not one touches the network. The proxy routing plugin is in the same repository, and almost nobody links it.
Proxies for pydoll: the login never reaches the command line
Pydoll takes the login out of the proxy URL before Chrome starts, then answers the challenge itself. Three address shapes defeat that, and we ran them.
Proxies for Steel Browser: write the scheme, and read the bytes
A Steel session takes a proxyUrl, and the shape its README documents is rejected. Here is what the address must look like, and what the session counts.
Proxies for agent-browser: one flag, and three traps
Vercel's agent-browser takes a proxy in one flag and answers the login itself. Where it reads the address in 0.38.1, and which documented form cannot work.
Proxies for Chrome DevTools MCP: one flag, one condition
Chrome DevTools MCP takes a --proxyServer flag, and drops it silently when it attaches to a running Chrome. What the flag can carry, and what it cannot.
Proxies for Lightpanda: the browser that takes the login
Lightpanda runs on libcurl, not Chrome, so its proxy takes a login in the address and SOCKS5 works. What the CDP proxy parameter really changes.
Proxies for Stagehand: what each environment accepts
Stagehand 4.1.0 refuses a local proxy with a login, while its own documentation shows one. What the local browser takes, and what the hosted session does.
Proxies that don't die mid-job
Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
129M+ proxy checks run · 100+ countries · HTTP / HTTPS / SOCKS · re-checked every few minutes · no signup
