Man, managing a web scraping proxy pool is such a headache sometimes. I’ve been using Scrapy with Scrapy-Rotating-Proxies, and it’s been a game-changer. It auto-rotates proxies and handles bans pretty well.
For rate limiting, I set up a middleware that randomizes delays between requests. It’s not perfect, but it keeps me under the radar most of the time.
And yeah, I clean up my pool weekly. It’s a pain, but it’s worth it to keep things running smoothly.
