How Effective Are Rotating Proxies for Web Scraping and Avoiding Bans? or What’s the Best Way to Set

From my experience, rotating proxies are hit or miss. If the site has basic security, they’re golden. But advanced systems (like Akamai) will sniff you out no matter what.

I rotate every request for high-risk targets and use a mix of datacenter + residential IPs. Luminati’s been solid for me, but it’s pricey.

Also, warm up your IPs slowly—don’t go ham right away.
