session and browser at create time, or once per task in task_default_browser_configuration.
Proxy
Most automation failures start at the IP. Datacenter addresses get flagged, the wrong country gets geo-blocked, and shared proxy pools burn out fast. A proxy puts your session on an IP and location the target site expects — US retail from a US address, EU compliance from an EU exit, or your own corporate proxy when policy requires it. Anchor provides built-in residential-style routing with country/region/city targeting.Bring Your Own Proxy
When policy or compliance requires your own egress, plug in an HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 server you already operate. You control the provider, credentials, and network path; Anchor routes the browser session through it.Dedicated Sticky IP
Some sites don’t just care where you are — they care that your IP stays the same. Banking, SaaS accounts, and fraud systems lock or challenge users whose IP jumps between sessions. A dedicated sticky IP reserves one egress address for a profile so every run looks like the same device coming from the same place.Anchor VPN
Rotating proxies trade consistency for scale. When you need a stable, private egress path at enterprise volume — one IP that belongs only to you, on infrastructure Anchor operates end-to-end — VPN replaces the commodity proxy hop. Fewer reputation surprises, fewer mid-flow auth breaks.Extra Stealth
A clean IP is not enough if the browser itself screams “bot.” Sites inspect fingerprints: automation flags, headless signals, canvas/WebGL consistency, and dozens of other tells. Extra Stealth runs a hardened Chrome environment built to pass those checks — so your session is less likely to be identified as automated before it ever clicks a link. Requires proxy. Growth plan.CAPTCHA solving
CAPTCHAs exist to stop bots at the front door — image puzzles, Cloudflare turnstiles, “verify you’re human” gates. When one appears mid-flow, automation stops unless something solves it. Anchor watches for CAPTCHA UI in the session and resolves it automatically using vision-based detection, so your workflow continues without a human in the loop. Requires proxy (or a profile with its own stable egress).Web Bot Auth
Not every site wants to block all bots — some participate in Cloudflare’s Web Bot Auth program and will allow verified automated clients that cryptographically identify themselves. If you are building an approved integration, signed requests prove you are Anchor Browser rather than a scraper spoofing a user agent. Different path than hiding; you are declaring yourself as a legitimate bot.Web Unlocker
Sometimes you do not need a full browser — you need the HTML. Web Unlocker is a single API call that fetches a rendered page from a URL. Anchor handles proxy rotation, CAPTCHA, and fingerprinting internally. Good for read-only extraction at scale; use a session when you need to log in, click, or maintain state across steps.Enterprise IP allowlisting
Some platforms require you to allowlist Anchor’s outbound IP addresses before browser automation can reach protected endpoints. Static egress routing is enabled for your project upon request — contact us to turn it on. Add these addresses to your firewall, WAF, or platform allowlist:Allowlisting is a change on your side — Anchor does not block access from our end.
