You’re overthinking it. Just use 443 and call it a day.
It blends in with regular web traffic, so less blocking. If it’s slow, your proxy’s the problem, not the port.
Try SmartProxy—they optimize ports for you.

Wow, didn’t expect so many replies! Thanks, everyone.
I tried switching to 443 like a few of you said, and it’s way more stable. Still getting some blocks though—maybe my proxy provider *is* trash.
Anyone got recs for a better one that doesn’t cost a fortune? Also, is SOCKS5 really faster than HTTP? Might test that next.
Appreciate the help!
