Is Using a Proxy Server Amazon Reliable for Web Scraping and Privacy? Alternatively: How to Set Up a P

Proxy server Amazon is *okay* for scraping, but you’ll get blocked fast if you’re not careful. They’re not exactly scraping-friendly.

I’d recommend using residential proxies instead—Smartproxy or GeoSurf are way better for avoiding detection.

If you’re dead set on Amazon, at least use a rotating IP setup with something like Scrapy + ScrapingBee. Otherwise, prepare for CAPTCHA hell.
