Is it possible to integrate with flaresolverr? It seems to be working to bypass Cloudflare protected sites for my Jackett instance.

[siikanen]

Technically, yes it should be possible to integrate with flaresolverr. However, as flaresolverr relies on running Chromium and using selenium to bypass CF checks, it would bring some overhead to the solution here. As I understand, ladder tries to only minimally change some headers, etc to bypass paywalls. Not to run entirely different browser instance.

Note that I'm in no position to decide what this project should and/or should not implement.

I'm looking for a self-hosted bypass solution but that keeps me away from Ladder by now and the project looks very solid.

Cloudflare serves 10% of the internet traffic everyday so I hope simplier solutions emerges.
