Ugh, proxy scrappers are the worst. So many time-wasters.
Recently switched to Oxylabs—pricey but zero complaints. IPs just work.
If you’re on a budget, maybe try scraping public lists and then validating with IP2Proxy? It’s a pain but cheaper.

Hey everyone,
Wow, didn’t expect so many solid replies—thanks a ton! Gonna test out ProxyScrape and ScraperAPI first since they’re free.
Quick Q for the paid folks: How’s the setup for Bright Data vs. Oxylabs? Like, is one easier to integrate with Python scripts?
Also, +1 on the geo-testing tip. Never thought of that and it makes total sense. Cheers!
