kesslerio-stealth-browserAnti-bot browser automation using Camoufox and Nodriver. Bypasses Cloudflare Turnstile, Datadome, and aggressive anti-bot on sites like Airbnb and Yelp. Use when standard Playwright/Selenium gets blocked.
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install kesslerio/kesslerio-stealth-browserAnti-bot browser automation that bypasses Cloudflare Turnstile, Datadome, and aggressive fingerprinting.

| API Only | curl_cffi | No browser needed, just TLS spoofing |
All scripts run in pybox distrobox for isolation.

You MUST use residential or mobile proxies:
# Example proxy config
proxy = "http://user:pass@residential-proxy.example.com:8080"See references/proxy-setup.md for proxy configuration.
Sites like Airbnb/Yelp use behavioral analysis. To avoid detection:
ā ļø Old --headless flag is DETECTED. Options:
headless="new" (Chrome 109+)# Xvfb approach (Linux)
Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1920x1080x24 &
export DISPLAY=:99
python scripts/camoufox-fetch.py "https://example.com"| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| "Access Denied" immediately | Use residential proxy |
| Cloudflare challenge loops | Try Camoufox instead of Nodriver |
| Browser crashes in pybox | Install missing deps: sudo dnf install gtk3 libXt |
| TLS fingerprint blocked | Use curl_cffi with impersonate="chrome120" |
| Turnstile checkbox appears | Add mouse movement, increase wait time |
| ModuleNotFoundError: camoufox | Use python3.14 not python or python3 |
| greenlet segfault (exit 139) | Python version mismatch - use python3.14 explicitly |
| libstdc++.so.6 errors | NixOS lib path issue - use python3.14 in pybox |
The pybox container may have multiple Python versions with separate site-packages:
# Check which Python has camoufox
distrobox-enter pybox -- python3.14 -c "import camoufox; print('OK')"
# Wrong (may use different Python)
distrobox-enter pybox -- python3.14 scripts/camoufox-session.py ...
# Correct (explicit version)
distrobox-enter pybox -- python3.14 scripts/camoufox-session.py ...If you get segfaults or import errors, always use python3.14 explicitly.

Since --login requires a visible browser, you need display forwarding:
X11 Forwarding (Preferred):
# Connect with X11 forwarding
ssh -X user@server
# Run login (opens browser on your local machine)

# In VNC session: run login

chmod 700 (owner only)chmod 600| Limitation | Reason |
|------------|--------|
| localStorage/sessionStorage not exported | Use browser profile instead (handles automatically) |
| IndexedDB not portable | Stored in browser profile, not cookie export |
| No parallel profile access | No file locking in v1; use one process per profile |
