Hello everyone.
I'm planning a web scraping project and comparing different proxy options before getting started. I've seen developers recommend residential, datacenter, ISP, and mobile proxies, but each has different strengths depending on the target website.
I was searching for advice and find something that explains why certain proxy types perform better than others, but the information has been inconsistent.
For those with real-world experience, which proxy setup has been the most reliable for collecting publicly available data while reducing blocks and maintaining good performance?
I'd also appreciate any tips on proxy rotation, request pacing, and common mistakes to avoid.
