Wow, thanks for all the responses, everyone! I didn’t expect so many people to chime in on the free vs paid residential proxy debate. It’s clear that paid is the way to go for anything serious.
I’m definitely going to check out some of the recommendations like Bright Data, Oxylabs, and Smartproxy. Has anyone tried comparing these services? Like, which one offers the best bang for your buck?
Also, for those who’ve used free proxies, what was the most frustrating part? Just curious if it’s the same issues I’ve been running into.
Thanks again, y’all! This has been super helpful.
