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

Thanks for all the tips, folks! Definitely gonna try rotating my plain proxies more and tweaking headers.

Quick question though—anyone know a good free/cheap tool to automate IP rotation? I’ve heard of ProxyMesh but not sure if it’s worth it for small projects.

Also, gonna test out some of those proxy services y’all mentioned. Appreciate the help!
