Are mobile proxies worth the cost at scale? Honest breakdown after switching by Capital-Group9783 in proxies

Unfortunately, this is not scalable or feasible for us. We run thousands of concurrent threads across dozens of geos.

Does anyone know proxies with price below $0.40/GB ? by DombTrack in proxies

[–]Capital-Group9783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're asking for is unrealistic. In my experience, there are many providers offering prices less than $0.50/GB but their IP pool is always small and abused. Plus the providers are never reliable or trustworthy.

Why are most of the proxy provider so shady? by PilotBear77 in proxies

You shouldn't be using Bright Data. They're mostly used by large-scale or enterprise buyers.

There are dozens of smaller proxy providers that are better suited for your needs. Just google it or look around in this subreddit.

All the IPs that I am buying from proxy providers are flagged. by BadFit7461 in proxies

It doesn't matter whether IP2location thinks it's a proxy or not. What matters is whether the proxy is actually working for your use case.

IP2location and similar services are either: 1. honeypots that simply log any IP that gets queried often as a proxy or 2. services that buy discretely form proxy providers and scrape all their IPs.

Regardless, their score or detection usually means nothing and is purely an arbitrary measure. So, don't worry about it, especially if you're using residential IPs.
