Could you build this?
No Bypassing enterprise anti-bot solutions (Cloudflare, Datadome, Akamai) at scale requires constantly maintained rotating residential proxy networks, browser fingerprint spoofing, and dedicated reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: The backend requires fleets of headless browsers (Playwright/Puppeteer) heavily patched to mask CDP leaks, TLS/JA3/JA4 fingerprint matching, and continuous integration with vast pools of rotating residential/mobile proxies across 180+ countries. It demands specialized engineers playing a continuous cat-and-mouse game against major anti-bot vendors.
