Hey! I feel your pain with the web scraping proxy pool struggles. One thing that’s worked for me is using a service like Bright Data or Oxylabs. They handle a lot of the heavy lifting with IP rotation and reliability.
For rate limiting, I’ve found that using a dynamic delay based on the response times helps a ton. If a site starts slowing down, I increase the delay automatically.
Also, yeah, cleaning up dead proxies is a must. I use a script that pings the proxies every hour and removes the dead ones. Saves me a lot of manual work!
