Hey! I’ve been using Zyte (formerly Scrapinghub) for my web scraping proxy pool, and it’s been a huge help. They handle all the proxy rotation and ban evasion for you.
For free proxies, I’d say avoid them unless you’re just testing. They’re way too unreliable for anything serious.
As for long-term maintenance, I’d recommend setting up a cron job to test your proxies daily. It’s saved me a lot of trouble.
