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

Plain proxies are like using a flip phone in 2024—they *technically* work, but you’ll struggle. If you’re stuck with them, rotate IPs aggressively and use headless browsers like Puppeteer to mimic real users.

For a budget upgrade, try SOAX or GeoSurf. They’re not free, but way more reliable than plain proxies for scraping.
