I've been using proxys residential socks 5 from Luminati (now Bright Data) for a while, and they’ve been pretty solid for scraping. Speeds are decent, and the IPs rarely get flagged.
To check if they’re *actually* residential, I use IPinfo.io or Whois. Just paste the IP and see if it’s tagged as residential or datacenter.
For testing bans, try accessing a site like Amazon or Google—if you get captchas instantly, that’s a bad sign.
