playwright and proxy problem

When I try to access page with proxy with playwright I get captcha. Without proxy it works with no problem. But what is weird that if I use the same proxy in the regular browser via SwitchyOmega extension then the page loads also without problem. So I think page somehow detects that automated browser is using proxies.
Did anyone encounter this problem?

It may not display the captcha in a standard browser when using SwitchyOmega, as it has already verified your identity through cookies from previous visits.

Have you tried using RESIDENTIAL proxies?

Yeah, looks like you are right 👍 it was because of cookies, in anonymous window I get captcha.
RESIDENTIAL proxies have the best rate of success but still blocked most of the time.
It is this url https://www.coursesu.com/ I have found out that RESIDENTIAL with FR country code works best, so I will work with that. Thanks a lot for the help.
