## Description

FlareSolverr is a proxy server designed to provide programmatic access to websites protected by automated security challenges and firewall restrictions. It functions by orchestrating headless browser instances to render web pages, execute JavaScript, and retrieve the necessary cookies and content required to bypass common security hurdles.

The service distinguishes itself by maintaining persistent browser sessions in memory, which allows for the reuse of authenticated states across multiple requests. It integrates with external captcha resolution services to handle interactive security challenges automatically and supports configurable proxy routing to manage network traffic and origin masking.

The system exposes a structured interface that accepts commands to trigger browser actions, enabling the retrieval of headers, cookies, and HTML content from protected resources. It also includes built-in monitoring capabilities that export operational metrics and request statistics to provide visibility into system health and performance.
