Hey! Using proxy with scrapy can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super useful. For rotating proxies, I’d recommend checking out the `scrapy-rotating-proxies` package. It’s a lifesaver!
Also, make sure your proxy provider is reliable. I’ve had issues with free proxies timing out or getting banned too quickly. Paid ones like BrightData or Oxylabs are worth the investment if you’re scraping at scale.
For IP bans, try adding random delays between requests using `DOWNLOAD_DELAY` in settings.py. It helps avoid getting flagged. Good luck! 🚀
