Yeah, BrightData rotating residential IP address is solid but not perfect. I’ve noticed some sites still flag it, especially if you’re hitting them too hard.
Try mixing in some mobile proxies from Luminati (same parent company as BrightData). They’re a bit pricier but way less likely to get blocked. Also, maybe tweak your request rate—even with residential IPs, going too fast can trigger CAPTCHAs.
And yeah, the cost is no joke. If you’re scraping lightly, maybe check out Smartproxy as a cheaper alternative.
