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.
