Hey! For setting up a Puppeteer proxy server SOCKS5h, you definitely need to tweak the launch args.
Try adding `--proxy-server=socks5://your-proxy-ip:port` and `--host-resolver-rules="MAP * ~NOTFOUND , EXCLUDE your-proxy-ip"` to avoid DNS leaks.
Also, check out the `puppeteer-page-proxy` npm package—it’s a lifesaver for handling auth and proxy configs.
For cloud vs local, I’d say cloud is smoother since you avoid local network restrictions. Hope this helps!
Yo! I had the same issue last week. SOCKS5h can be tricky with Puppeteer, but here’s what worked for me:
1. Use `puppeteer-extra` with the `puppeteer-extra-plugin-proxy` plugin. It simplifies the whole proxy setup.
2. For auth, just pass the credentials in the proxy URL like `socks5://user:pass@proxy-ip:port`.
Cloud setups are def better for scaling, but local works fine for testing. LMK if you need more details!
Hey there! I’ve been working with Puppeteer proxy server SOCKS5h for a while now.
For launch args, you’ll need to include `--proxy-server` and `--host-resolver-rules` as mentioned above.
If you’re dealing with auth, I recommend using a library like `proxy-chain` to handle it programmatically.
As for local vs cloud, it really depends on your use case. Cloud is more reliable for heavy workloads, but local is fine for smaller projects.

Hey! Just wanted to chime in—setting up a Puppeteer proxy server SOCKS5h can be a pain, but it’s doable.
I’d suggest using `puppeteer-extra` with the proxy plugin. It’s way easier than messing with launch args manually.
Also, if your proxy requires auth, make sure to encode the credentials properly in the URL.
Cloud setups are generally smoother, but local works too if you’re just testing.
Here’s a snippet that might help:
```javascript
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra');
const ProxyPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-proxy');
puppeteer.use(ProxyPlugin({ address: 'your-proxy-ip', port: 1080 }));
```
Hope this gets you unstuck!
Wow, thanks so much for all the replies, everyone! This is super helpful. I tried the `puppeteer-extra` plugin with the proxy setup, and it’s working way better than my initial attempts.
Quick follow-up: has anyone dealt with timeouts when using SOCKS5h? I’m getting some random delays, and I’m not sure if it’s the proxy or something else.
Also, big shoutout to the person who suggested `proxy-chain`—I’ll def check that out for handling auth.
Thanks again, y’all are awesome!
Hey! I’ve been down this rabbit hole before. For Puppeteer proxy server SOCKS5h, you’ll need to tweak the launch args like others said.
But also, make sure your proxy supports SOCKS5h (not just SOCKS5). The ‘h’ part is crucial for DNS resolution.
If you’re running into auth issues, try using `proxy-chain` to handle it. It’s a great tool for managing proxies with Puppeteer.
Cloud setups are def smoother, but local is fine for smaller tasks.
Here’s a good resource: [link]. It covers everything from setup to troubleshooting.
Hey! I’ve been using Puppeteer proxy server SOCKS5h for scraping, and here’s what I’ve learned:
1. Use `puppeteer-extra` with the proxy plugin. It’s way easier than messing with launch args.
2. For auth, just include the credentials in the proxy URL like `socks5://user:pass@proxy-ip:port`.
3. Cloud setups are better for scaling, but local works for testing.
