Are Plain Proxies Still Reliable for Basic Web Scraping? or What Are the Best Use Cases for Plain Pro

For basic stuff, plain proxies can work, but you’ll need to tweak your setup. Randomize your headers, use sessions, and don’t hammer the same site nonstop.

If you’re getting blocked too much, try adding CAPTCHA solvers like 2Captcha into your script. It’s a pain, but sometimes necessary.

Also, consider scraping during off-peak hours—less traffic means less scrutiny.
