Best Practices for Managing a Web Scraping Proxy Pool: How Do You Keep It Reliable?

Wow, thanks for all the replies, everyone! Super helpful stuff. I’ve been testing out rotating IPs more frequently, and it’s definitely reduced the number of bans I’m seeing.

I’m curious though—anyone have experience with free proxy lists? Are they worth it, or should I just stick to paid services like Bright Data or Oxylabs? Also, how do you guys handle CAPTCHAs? Do you just switch proxies, or is there a better way?

Thanks again for all the tips! This thread has been a goldmine.
