"Are cheap residential proxies worth it or just a scam?"
Alright, so I’ve been digging around for cheap residential proxies because, let’s be real, not all of us wanna drop $100/month just to scrape some data.
But here’s the thing—some of these "budget" providers are straight-up trash. Slow speeds, IPs getting banned instantly, or worse, they’re just sneaky datacenter proxies labeled as residential.
Anyone got real experience with *cheap residential proxies* that actually work? Like, can they handle basic scraping without dying after 5 minutes? Or am I better off saving up for mid-tier?
Also, if you’ve found a legit provider for *cheap residential proxies*, drop the name. No shady stuff pls.
(And yeah, I know "you get what you pay for," but there’s gotta be a middle ground, right?)
