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.
