Cloud-side agent traffic is easy to block—users pivot to Codex local browser use
petergyang · x · 2026-09-22
- A discussion notes that AI agents via browser/computer use are hard to distinguish from humans behaviorally, but access origin matters: when access happens from Meta's or Amazon's own data centers rather than the user's machine, detection and blocking are easy.
- The reply: if cloud-side proxies get blocked, one can just shop on Amazon via Codex's local browser use instead, where agent traffic is much harder to detect.
