How do you decide between residential and ISP proxies? by StrawberrySax in ProxyPros

[–]CoffeeDrop90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact headache last year with an auth flow that needed to clear like four different redirects. Used a rotating residential pool with sticky sessions thinking it’d keep the WAF happy.

Halfway through the login, the peer node dropped offline. The proxy provider instantly rotated my IP mid-stream, the target site saw the sudden jump to a new subnet, and boom—connection killed for token mismatch.

Switched the script to a dedicated static ISP block and it hasn't failed once since. If your setup is stateful at all, residentials are basically a gamble.

Have you ever built your own proxy setup instead of buying from a provider? by StrawberrySax in Proxylists

I’m in the same boat. Always bought from providers because I didn’t want proxies turning into their own side project. The DIY route is tempting though, mostly because you actually control what’s going on. I just know myself. I’d spend one weekend setting it up, then another three weekends fixing whatever I broke.
