Honestly, I’ve been down the yt dlp scrape videos proxy rabbit hole too. Free proxies are a no-go—they’re just too inconsistent. I’ve had good luck with Smartproxy. It’s affordable and works well with yt-dlp.
One tip: if yt-dlp throws errors with a proxy, try using `--force-ipv4` or `--force-ipv6` in your command. Sometimes it’s an IP version mismatch.
Also, double-check your proxy settings. A small typo can mess everything up.
