Are Cheap Proxies Reliable for Everyday Use? What’s the Catch?

Honestly, cheap proxies are a gamble. I’ve had some that worked great for weeks, then suddenly stopped connecting.

If you’re just browsing, they’re fine, but for scraping, you might run into issues with captchas or IP bans.

I’d recommend using a mix of cheap proxies and rotating IPs to avoid getting blocked. Tools like Scrapy or BeautifulSoup can help manage the scraping part.
