Hey everyone, Thanks to this community,I’ve already picked up a lot of insights about different proxy services. I’ve been running some scraping and automation tasks lately, and I realized how much the choice of proxy affects success rate and overall stability. What worked for me was switching from regular datacenter IPs to residential ones. The difference in block rates was noticeable right away. Recently, I tried Nsocks, and so far it’s been reliable — big IP pool, city-level targeting, and decent speed for the kind of projects I run. Curious to hear what others are using. Any recommendations on providers you’ve found effective for scaling?

I’ve been working on a few data collection and account management projects recently, and one thing I realized is how important it is to have reliable proxies. Without stable IPs, I kept running into failed requests or unnecessary bans, which slowed everything down. After testing several providers, I ended up trying Nsocks. What stood out to me was the size of their residential IP pool and the fact that you can actually target by city or ISP. The success rate has been solid so far, and connections are quick to set up. I mainly use it for scraping and some monitoring tasks, and it’s been smoother compared to a lot of options I tried before. Just sharing this here in case someone else is also looking for something stable to work with.

Lately, I’ve been dealing with a lot of geo-restrictions and IP bans while running some side projects involving data collection and ad testing. At first, I used the usual VPNs and free proxies, but they quickly started to cause problems — slow speeds, frequent blocks, and unreliable data. After some searching, I stumbled upon residential proxies, which felt like a step up since they use IPs from actual homes rather than data centers. I tried a few options and ended up sticking with one provider that has a huge pool of IPs worldwide——Nsocks What’s been nice is how smoothly it integrates into my existing workflow, letting me rotate IPs automatically and avoid many of the common pitfalls I faced before. It’s not flashy, just reliable. If you’re working on anything that involves multi-region testing or data scraping, having a trustworthy residential proxy option can save a lot of headaches. Just thought I’d share — sometimes the best tools are the ones that quietly do their job.
