Can rotating IP addresses or using proxies help prevent the Cloudflare verification loop in Selenium?

Yes, rotating IP addresses and using high-quality proxies can significantly help prevent the Cloudflare verification loop. Cloudflare heavily relies on IP reputation as part of its bot detection. If numerous requests come from the same IP in a short period, or if the IP is known for suspicious activity (e.g., from a data center or public VPN), Cloudflare is more likely to challenge it. Using a pool of clean, residential, or mobile proxies allows requests to originate from different, seemingly legitimate IP addresses, reducing the chances of triggering an initial challenge and avoiding an IP-based ban.
