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

Rotating proxies *can* work, but they’re not magic. You gotta pair ’em with other tricks:

- Randomize click patterns
- Use headless browsers (Puppeteer/Playwright)
- Rotate cookies + fingerprints

I’ve had success with Soax for cheap rotating proxies, but YMMV. Also, avoid free proxies—they’re almost always blacklisted.
