Man, I feel you on the mixed results. Some rotating proxies work like a charm, others are useless after a few hits.
I’ve had luck with Oxylabs—their residential rotating proxies are pricey but worth it for heavy scraping. For privacy, though, I’d pair them with a VPN just to be safe.
Sites with heavy bot protection (looking at you, Cloudflare) are the worst. Gotta tweak the rotation speed and headers to avoid tripping alarms.
