Captcha solver
Cinephage includes a built-in Captcha Solver that automatically handles Cloudflare challenges and other anti-bot protections. No external services like FlareSolverr required.
How It Works
The Captcha Solver uses Camoufox - a privacy-focused Firefox fork with anti-detection features:
- Challenge Detection - Automatically detects Cloudflare/Turnstile challenges
- Browser Automation - Launches headless browser to solve challenges
- Cookie Caching - Stores successful cookies to minimize solves
- Health Monitoring - Tracks success rates and adjusts automatically
Configuration
Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Captcha Solver:
Basic settings
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | Turn solver on/off | Enabled |
| Timeout | Max time to wait for solve (seconds) | 60 |
| Cache TTL | How long to keep cookies (hours) | 1 |
| Headless | Run browser without GUI | Enabled |
Advanced settings
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Proxy | HTTP proxy for browser (optional) | None |
Cookie Management
Cookies are cached per-domain to minimize repeated challenges:
- Automatic refresh - Cookies refreshed before expiration
- Per-domain storage - Each indexer has isolated cookies
- Manual clearing - Clear cookies if issues occur
Clearing cookies
Via UI: Settings > Integrations > Captcha Solver > Clear Cache
Health Monitoring
The solver tracks its own performance:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Success Rate | Percentage of successful solves |
| Average Solve Time | How long challenges take |
| Cached Domains | Number of domains with valid cookies |
| Last Error | Most recent failure reason |
Troubleshooting
Challenges not being solved
- Check solver is enabled - Settings > Integrations > Captcha Solver
- Increase timeout - Some challenges take 30+ seconds
- Check logs - Look for "captcha" or "camoufox" errors
- Clear cookie cache - Corrupted cookies can cause failures
High failure rate
- Disable headless mode - Temporarily to debug (requires display)
- Check proxy settings - If using proxy, verify it works
- Update Camoufox - Solver uses latest browser version automatically
Indexer still blocked
Not all protection is Cloudflare:
- DataDome - Currently not supported
- PerimeterX - May work, not guaranteed
- Custom challenges - Varies by site
Try alternative indexers if one is consistently blocked.
Performance Impact
- Memory: ~200MB per browser instance
- CPU: Minimal when idle, spikes during solves
- Disk: Cookies cached in database (~1KB per domain)
