I’ve been using proxies for web scraping for a while now, and here’s my two cents: rotating proxies are awesome for big projects, but for smaller ones, they’re kinda overkill.
Free proxies? Nah, they’re trash. I’ve tried a bunch, and they’re either super slow or just don’t work. Paid proxies are the way to go. I’ve had good experiences with Storm Proxies—they’re affordable and reliable.
Headers and request rates are super important. Make sure you’re randomizing your headers and keeping your request rate low. I usually stick to 1 request every 5-10 seconds to avoid getting flagged.
