I've been using a paid HTTP proxy span for about 6 months now, and it's been a game-changer. The rotation keeps bans way lower than free proxies, and the uptime is solid.
Speed can vary depending on the provider, but I’ve had good luck with Luminati (now Bright Data). It’s not cheap, but if you’re scraping at scale, it’s worth it.
Free proxies are just too unreliable—constantly dying or getting blocked. Paid HTTP proxy spans are def the way to go if you’re serious about scraping.
