Hey! I’ve been using ProxyRack for my web scraping proxy pool, and it’s been pretty reliable. They’ve got a good mix of residential and datacenter proxies, so you can choose based on your needs.
For rotation, I use their API, and it’s pretty seamless. Monitoring-wise, I just check their dashboard every few hours.
If you’re getting blocked, try adding some random delays between requests. It helps a lot. Also, make sure your headers are legit.

Hey! I’ve been scraping for a while, and I’ve found that ScraperAPI is a lifesaver for managing a web scraping proxy pool. They handle rotation, bans, and even CAPTCHAs for you.
For monitoring, I just rely on their logs. It’s super easy to see what’s working and what’s not.
Residential proxies are great, but if you’re on a budget, datacenter proxies + good rotation should work. Just don’t go too crazy with your requests.
