Hey! I’ve been there. Using proxy with scrapy can be frustrating.
I use Scrapy-ProxyMiddleware for rotation. It’s simple and effective.
Also, try to mimic human behavior—random delays, different user-agents, etc. Sites are getting smarter, so you gotta stay ahead.
For proxies, I’ve had good luck with GeoSurf. They’re a bit pricey, but worth it if you’re scraping a lot.
Don’t forget to monitor your logs. They’ll tell you if your proxies are failing.
