VPN being flagged as bot.

[shopliftersoftheworldunite]

Hey, while using hysteria some websites flag it as a bot and do not allow the user to use their services unless they make an account,
is there any way to deal with this problem?

hi. thats not a hysteria/protocol based problem. many sites use certain parameters to rate the safety of a client which since ur using a proxy its most likely that the provider you're using has a dirty ip (meaning ip's of that provider has been used for bots/spam/etc) the solution to this is often to set your outbound to cloudflare warp which often provides cleaner ips

this script provides an easy setup of what i've mentioned

for manual setup you'd have to run cloudflare warp cli as a socks proxy and set the hysteria's outbound to the local proxy provided by warp

If you mean services like YouTube, it is because your server IP is marked as a server, not just residential IPs (like the IPs that you get from an ISP).

I think this problem is related to the business model of the websites. For example, YouTube may be doing this to avoid (potentially) wasting bandwidth on scraping bots.

Anyway i don't think this issue is related to hysteria. If you want to follow up on this problem, you should contact YouTube support or...
