Looking for good proxy servers – any reliable recommendations? or What are the best good proxy server

"Looking for good proxy servers – any solid recs?"

Hey guys, been hunting for some good proxy servers lately but man, it's a minefield out there. So many trash ones that either slow you to a crawl or just don’t work.

Anyone got a legit list of good proxy servers that actually *work*? Need something decent for privacy but also don’t wanna wait 10 secs for a page to load lol.

Bonus points if they’re free or cheap—not tryna break the bank here.

Also, how do you even *choose* good proxy servers? Like, what’s the deal with SOCKS vs HTTP? Overwhelming af.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
