I'd recommend giving IPnivo a try. I went with them mainly because they were affordable, and I've been using them for scraping for about a month now. Speed and stability have both been pretty good so far, with no major complaints.
One thing I'd say is don't rely on free proxies for anything that needs consistent uptime, like long-running scraping jobs or tasks where you can't afford to lose requests. Free proxies can be slow, unreliable, and sometimes have questionable privacy practices. Paying a bit for a reliable service is worth it if you're using it regularly.
