Looking to Scale My Operations – Are 1000 Proxies Enough for Heavy-Duty Web Scraping?

If you’re scaling up, 1000 proxies is a good baseline, but you’ll need to optimize your setup. Use a tool like Scrapy with a middleware for proxy rotation—it’ll save you a ton of headaches.

Also, consider using a CAPTCHA solver if you’re hitting those a lot. Sites like 2Captcha or Anti-Captcha can help you bypass those annoying blocks.
