Forum Post Automation with Puppeteer or other automation solution
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Hello,
Problem: I'm trying to automate forum posting on https://www.webhostingtalk.com/. This is a standard BBforum. This is not to spam the forum, only to automate my legit workflows.
I tried NodeJS+Puppeteer+Puppeteer Stealth Plugin on an Ubuntu 20.04 Linux Box so far
The script will run on a VPS (Ubuntu 20.04).
I'm unable to get the script to post the threads on the forum due to the built in security features into Cloudflare protection.
Your job is to log in to the VPS I bought and set everything up so I can post threads onthe forum (https://www.webhostingtalk.com/) via cron.
Preferably using NodeJS+Puppeteer, but other solutions are acceptable as well. Once you achieved a working prototype document it so I can reproduce it on a fresh VPS server.
I already wrote the code that should work in NodeJS+Puppeteer, just Cloudflare won't let me run it on the forum, I will send you my work so far if you accept the project.
My finding this far:
My conclusion is that the forum itself recognizes its Puppeteer+Datacenter (VPS) Ip Address and hides the website content as a security measure so puppeteer can't interact with it.
Scenarios:
Manual try (without scripting)+Residential IP(My local IP) -> Forums Works
Manual try (without scripting)+VPS(Datacenter IP) -> Forums Works
Puppeteer+Residential IP(My local IP) -> Forums Works
Puppeteer+VPS(Datacenter IP) -> Forum shows blank page
I will let bidding run for 1-2 days, if you have a specific solution or idea to the problem please write it down!
