IPv6 proxies with Puppeteer extra stealth actually WORK

so i was testing for a client scraping project last week and got stuck on ipv4 datacenter stuff always getting flagged like every single time. then i switched to ipv6 residential from a provider i barely ever use and dude, the combo with puppeteer-extra-stealth-plugin is actually pretty crazy. like zero blocks for 24 hours straight scraping this super hard site. i think the main thing was the ipv6 pool size? way less common so maybe fingerprinting isn't as harsh? plus the stealth plugin randomizes viewport, fonts, all that junk. yeah it's still expensive per gb compared to datacenter but for long jobs where u want stability imo this is my new go-to setup. only problem is the tool side of things tho. just tossing ipv6 proxies into a regular scraper didn't do anything, had to tweak the stealth plugin settings to match the proxy type. anyone else try this combo? idk if it's just this site or a bigger trend.
 
I actually found that adding a custom user agent and tweaking the timezone in puppeteer helped even more with fingerprinting on ipv6. seems like the stealth plugin alone might not cut it sometimes, gotta match proxy type with the right configs. ever tried those little tweaks?
 
been doing this 17 years, bruh, and yeah that tool side is always the tricky part. no matter how good the proxies and stealth plugin are, if the scraper isn't tweaked right, it's dead in the water. you gotta match the proxy type with the right settings, or it just doesn't matter what you got. it's a constant pain but that's the game.
 
smh, honestly idk if less common means less fingerprinting, maybe just less scrutiny on ipv6? or maybe sites just haven't caught up yet. anyone else notice some sites still go hard on ipv6?
 
Yo fam, if you got the setup right and go heavy on the user agent randomization, I swear I saw CTR jump from like 3% to 8% in just a week using IPv6 proxies. Honestly, the stealth mode feels way more undetectable atm and I been nailing tasks that got flagged before. Keep it real, it's a for sure.
 
Yo, if you wanna keep that stealth tight, make sure you also rotate your IPs often and mess with headers like accept language and referrer, smh it makes a difference. Ever tried combining that with different device fingerprints?
 
careful with overdoing it tho, u don't wanna get flagged for too much rotation or weird headers, trust. i ran some tests with IPv6 proxies and Puppeteer stealth, and the key was mixing random user agents and keeping the requests kinda natural, cr reaaally helps hide the
 
Careful with this stuff, just because someone says it works doesn't mean it's reliable long term. IPv6 proxies are still tricky, and Puppeteer extra stealth isn't foolproof. Wanna bet it's gonna break or get blocked fast?
 
i mean maybe but i saw some tests where like 80% success rate with IPv6 proxies and puppeteer stealth so idk if it's just luck or what but worth trying before giving up
 
IPv6 proxies with Puppeteer extra stealth actually WORK huh? Wonder if anyone's done enough testing to say it's actually stable long term or if it's just luck with those 80% success rates. How often you guys hitting issues with it?
 
Thanks for the input, guys. Yeah, IPv6 proxies are still kinda hit or miss long term, but I think if you test enough and tweak your setup it can be reliable enough for small scale stuff. The 80% success rate I saw was mostly with fresh proxies, so maybe it drops off over time. I plan to keep testing and will update if I find a more stable method.
 
Haha, yeah Lintel, been there, done that. IPv6 proxies are a wild card, especially with the new site checks. But honestly, sometimes you gotta dance on the edge if you wanna get the ROI. Just means more testing, more grind. The fact that it's working for some is enough to keep me poking at it. Keep pushing, might hit that sweet spot eventually.
 
wow, so you're telling me there's a unicorn out there? I swear my last test with IPv6 proxies was like trying to tame a wild beast. if it works for you, maybe I need to double down and pray to the proxy gods. or just stick to my IPv4 nightmares.
 
Honestly, I think the whole IPv6 stealth thing is kinda overrated. Yeah, some sites might flag anomalies but most of the time it's about your setup and how you blend it in. I've seen decent results just using solid IPv4 pools and good rotators. The trouble with IPv6 is the extra hassle and less control, at least for me. Let me be the guinea pig here, but I'd focus more on your bait and switch techniques than chasing the IPv6 unicorn.
 
big picture is ipv6 is a pain but if you get it right it can give you an edge, especially when most are still stuck on ipv4. but the secret is in how you blend and rotate, not just the stack. ipv6's only really valid for serious scaling if you're willing to do the work.
 
Let me put on my old man hat for a second, you guys are all chasing the unicorn but reality is most sites are just gonna call BS on ipv6 proxies unless you got a magic setup or a genius rotator that makes them look legit and even then, it's a gamble and not a reliable long-term solution, so don't bet the farm on it yet, just test and see if your setup can hold up but don't get married to the idea it's the holy grail, been burned before in the sandbox of failed campaigns, ipv4 still rules the roost for most folks so keep your eyes open and your back covered.
 
Honestly, if you get it working and the setup isn't a total nightmare, more power to you. But I've burned enough cash trying to chase the IPv6 ghost. The truth is, most sites don't care what IP version you use, they just flag weird traffic patterns. The trick is how you blend and rotate. I'm still skeptical that IPv6 is some secret weapon unless you're scaling big and have a solid infrastructure. Until then, I'd say focus on quality leads and good filtering, not just the stack. It's an uphill battle for a marginal edge.
 
oof, i gotta disagree a bit. sure, most sites might not care if you're using ipv6 but that doesn't mean it's all smoke and mirrors. if you know what you're doing and have legit rotators, ipv6 can actually give you a legit edge because most are still asleep on it. the thing is, it's not just about having ipv6 in your stack, its about how you hide it and rotate it. like, yes, it's tricky and not a silver bullet but dismissing it as just a waste of time feels short-sighted. also, i think some people forget the difference between a good setup and just throwing proxies at the wall and hoping. smh.
 
Honestly, I think most folks overhype ipv6 a bit. sure, if u got legit rotators and know ur way around, u can squeeze some advantage. but don't think it's some magic fix that'll make u invisible overnight. most sites are pretty good at flagging weird traffic patterns regardless of ipv6 or ipv4. work on ur scraping logic first, then worry about the IP stack.
