In this list from one of the adblock extensions, clarity.ms^ appears as to be blocked.

Looking for a solution, too. Can anyone provide a correct and usable nginx configuration file for reverse proxy? I am stuck in configuring CORS.

Looks like 95% of the traffic to my site uses adblocker which makes clarity virtually useless. :(

Same thing here, and most people use adblock, which is a problem.

Also seeing this, I'm going to see if a reverse proxy setup will work

@Andrewjeska - please keep us posted on your findings 🙌

If you set up a reverse proxy for the initial request to the Clarity tag (clarity.ms), it will work at first. However, the issue arises because that tag makes additional internal requests to the same domain, such as:

https://www.clarity.ms/s/0.7.43/clarity.js
https://l.clarity.ms/collect

This means that while Adblock might ignore the block on the initial tag, it will still block these other requests made by the script. The only solution would be to host the tag script yourself and modify its internal URLs to use your reverse proxy.
