Yo, I feel you on the struggle to find good proxy servers that don’t suck. I’ve been using Luminati (now Bright Data) for a while, and it’s solid—fast and reliable, but kinda pricey.
For free/cheap options, check out HideMyAss or ProxyScrape. They’re not perfect, but they get the job done for basic stuff.
About SOCKS vs HTTP: SOCKS is better for general traffic (like gaming or torrenting), while HTTP is just for web browsing. If you’re just scraping or browsing, HTTP is fine.
Hope that helps!
