Wow, thanks so much for all the advice, everyone! I’ve been looking into Bright Data and Oxylabs based on your suggestions, and they seem like solid options. I’m definitely gonna avoid free proxies now—sounds like they’re more trouble than they’re worth.
I’ve also started setting up a script to test my proxies regularly, and it’s already helping a ton.
One quick follow-up: does anyone have experience with Scrapy for IP rotation? I’m thinking of giving it a shot, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort. Thanks again!
