I feel you—budget proxies can be a minefield. A lot of them reuse IPs to death or just sell datacenter IPs with a "residential" label.
For basic scraping, I’ve had okay luck with Smartproxy’s rotating residential proxies. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re affordable and actually work for most sites.
Just avoid those sketchy providers with no reviews. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
