Will a Hacker account be enough to run selenium?

I'm trying to host a Flask project that uses selenium under the hood. I have been reading and afaiu the restricted internet access is causing an error like this one when trying to use selenium (and requests), can upgrading to a hacker account solve this?

We generally don't advise using selenium in web apps -- you could consider delegating the scraping to an Always-on task, as suggested here. And, sure, you can try starting with Hacker and see if that's enough for you.
