Browserless proxy

I am in the process of developing a node app which needs the chrome browser. I have the following code using browserless as you have recommended.

async function launchBrowser(headless = true) {
  let browser;
  if (process.env.BROWSER_PLAYWRIGHT_ENDPOINT) {
    browser = await chromium.connect(process.env.BROWSER_PLAYWRIGHT_ENDPOINT);
  } else {
    browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: headless });
  }

  return browser;
}

Can this be modified to use an external proxy, and if so how?

Hi Brody - My script is working locally but not on railway. I believe it is unable to login on railway and I'm wondering if it would work with a fixed external proxy. I'd like to see an example in railway of connecting browserless to an external proxy

Of course ! If you look at my last thread, I detailed it in my last post https://help.railway.com/questions/mismatch-between-browserless-chrome-and-0001cd38

Are you using the correct client version?

yes - I am using playwright version 1.41 as detailed in the error message - you can see this in the package.json file

Then a Proxy is not going to help with code issues.

Well , as I said, its working locally. and I don't see any other errors on railway. In fact it is working on railway , until the authentication step which fails. If the IP addresses of railway are being blocked by the website I'm trying to login to, an external IP address could solve this.
