Running Your Existing Playwright Code in the Cloud With Dedicated US and EU IPs

Yes, you can run your existing Playwright code in the cloud with dedicated US and EU based IPs. Hyperbrowser is a cloud browser platform that connects to your Playwright scripts over the Chrome DevTools Protocol, so your selectors, waits, and test logic stay exactly as they are. At the same time, every session can be routed through static, dedicated IP addresses and geo targeted proxies, giving you stable US or European egress without managing a single server.

Introduction

Most teams that automate the web eventually hit the same wall. Playwright works beautifully on a laptop, but the moment you need hundreds of parallel sessions, residential quality IPs, or geographic coverage in both North America and Europe, local execution stops making sense. You end up maintaining browser binaries on CI runners, juggling proxy vendors, and debugging flaky environments at 2 a.m.

A cloud browser platform solves this by running the browser for you. The catch, historically, has been compatibility: many hosted browser services require you to rewrite your automation in a proprietary API. That is not the case here. Hyperbrowser was built so that Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium code connects natively, which means migration is a matter of changing where the browser launches from, not how you drive it.

This article explains how that connection works, how dedicated and geo targeted IPs are configured per session, and what you should know about scaling, stealth, and pricing before you move your first script to the cloud.

Key Takeaways

Hyperbrowser runs managed browser sessions in secure, isolated containers and connects to your existing Playwright code over CDP, with 100% native Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium compatibility.
Dedicated egress is available through Static IPs, proxy rotation, and BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP), so you can pin sessions to stable addresses.
Multi-region support and country level proxy targeting let you route sessions through US and European locations, matching your proxy to your target content.
The platform scales to 10,000+ simultaneous browsers with low latency startup and 99.9%+ uptime, backed by session isolation and automatic CAPTCHA solving.
Pricing is credit based, billed per browser hour and per GB of proxy data, with a free tier to test your first migration.

How Cloud Playwright Execution Works

The core idea is simple: instead of calling browser.launch() on your own machine, you create a session through the Hyperbrowser SDK or REST API, receive a WebSocket endpoint, and connect Playwright to it with connect_over_cdp. From that point on, your code is unchanged. The Playwright connection guide walks through the setup: install the SDK alongside playwright-core, create a session, and hand the session endpoint to Playwright.

Because the connection happens at the protocol level, everything Playwright can do locally it can do against a cloud session: frames, downloads, network interception, screenshots, and assertions. Your existing test suites and scraping scripts keep working, and the SDKs and API reference cover both Python and Node.js in sync and async flavors.

The browsers themselves run in secure, isolated containers, so one session cannot leak state into another. If you need to watch what a session is doing, session tooling includes Session Recordings and Live View for real time inspection.

Getting Dedicated US and EU Based IPs

IP strategy is where most cloud browser migrations get complicated, so it is worth understanding the options Hyperbrowser gives you at session creation time.

Static IPs. When your target sites expect a consistent address, such as logged in accounts, rate limits keyed to IP, or allowlisting workflows, you can attach a dedicated static IP to a session. The Static IPs documentation covers how dedicated addresses are assigned so your egress does not change between runs.

Geo targeted proxies. For geographic coverage, sessions can be routed through proxies in specific countries and cities. Hyperbrowser supports nearly all countries, which includes US and European locations, and the proxy configuration guide recommends matching your proxy region to your target content to improve performance and avoid geo blocking. Coverage in low population density areas should be tested separately.

BYOIP. If your organization already owns IP ranges that are allowlisted by partners or vendors, Bring Your Own IP lets you route sessions through infrastructure you control.

Custom proxies. You can also supply your own HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, or SOCKS5h proxy servers with credentials, which is useful when a corporate proxy or a specific vendor is already part of your stack.

A practical pattern for US/EU coverage is to create sessions with useProxy: true and the desired region, enable Stealth Mode or Ultra Stealth Mode alongside the proxy, and verify the configuration against your target sites before scaling up, exactly as the proxy best practices suggest.

Scaling Without Rewriting Your Code

Once your script runs against a single cloud session, scaling becomes a configuration problem rather than an infrastructure project. Hyperbrowser supports 10,000+ simultaneous browsers with low latency startup and 99.9%+ uptime, so you can move from one session to thousands by looping your existing code and creating sessions programmatically.

Several features matter specifically for Playwright workloads at scale:

Stealth Mode and Ultra Stealth Mode reduce bot detection, which is often the first thing that breaks when local scripts move to datacenter environments.
Automatic CAPTCHA solving is native to the platform, with no external plugins to install or maintain.
Session isolation in isolated containers keeps parallel runs from contaminating each other's cookies and storage.
Profiles persist cookies and local storage across sessions when your workflow depends on staying logged in.

If your automation also involves AI agents, the same sessions work with agent frameworks such as Browser Use, HyperAgent, Claude Computer Use, OpenAI CUA, and Gemini Computer Use, plus LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Stagehand integrations. That is optional, but it means one platform can serve both your deterministic Playwright scripts and any agentic browsing you add later.

What It Costs to Move Playwright to the Cloud

Hyperbrowser uses a credit based usage model, billed per session hour and per GB of proxy data consumed. Browser time is priced at $0.10 per browser hour and proxy data at $10 per GB, with 1 credit equal to $0.001. The free tier includes 5,000 credits and one concurrent browser, which is enough to connect your first Playwright script and validate IP behavior before committing to a paid plan. Startup and higher tiers add concurrent browsers and longer data retention, and enterprise plans offer custom rate limits and volume discounts for predictable scaling at high concurrency.

Because proxy data is billed separately from browser time, it pays to be intentional about routing. Use geo targeted proxies only for the sessions that need them, and keep bandwidth efficient practices such as blocking unnecessary media when your use case allows it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to rewrite my Playwright code to use a cloud browser? No. You create a session, receive a WebSocket endpoint, and connect with connect_over_cdp. Everything after that line is standard Playwright, so selectors, fixtures, and test logic carry over as is.

Can sessions use dedicated IPs in both the US and Europe? Yes. Static IPs give you dedicated addresses, proxy rotation and country level targeting cover US and European geographies, and BYOIP is available if you need to route through your own IP ranges.

How does Hyperbrowser handle bot detection and CAPTCHAs? Stealth Mode and Ultra Stealth Mode are built in and can be enabled per session, and CAPTCHA solving is native to the platform with no external plugins required.

How is pricing structured? Pricing is credit based and billed per browser hour plus per GB of proxy data. Browser time is $0.10 per hour and proxy data is $10 per GB, and the free tier includes 5,000 credits to get started.

Conclusion

If you already have Playwright code that works, you should not have to abandon it to get cloud scale, dedicated IPs, and geographic coverage. Hyperbrowser keeps your code as the source of truth and replaces only the infrastructure underneath it: managed browsers in isolated containers, static and geo targeted US/EU egress, stealth and CAPTCHA handling, and the ability to scale from one session to thousands on demand. Start with the Playwright connection guide, test a session against your target sites, and use the free credits to confirm the setup before you scale.
