A

Anti-bot

antibot system protection
Software systems that detect automated traffic: Cloudflare, Akamai, PerimeterX, Datadome, Imperva. They analyse headers, fingerprints, TLS handshakes, behavioural patterns. The harsher the anti-bot, the more expensive the proxy you need (residential/mobile instead of datacenter).

Anti-detect browser

tooling
A specialised browser that builds a unique browser fingerprint per profile — Multilogin, Dolphin Anty, Adspower, GoLogin. Used for multi-account work in combination with mobile proxies.

D

Datadome

protection
One of the toughest anti-bot services — focuses on TLS fingerprinting (JA3) and behavioural analysis. Even premium residential delivers 50-80% success rate.

F

Fingerprint

browser fingerprint protection
The combination of ~30-50 parameters that identify your browser: Canvas, WebGL, AudioContext, fonts, timezone, screen resolution. Used by anti-bot systems to track you across sessions even from different IPs.

J

JA3 fingerprint

protection
A hash of the client's TLS handshake. Unique for each combination of OS, browser and version. Datadome and Akamai use it to detect automated traffic regardless of IP.
