Proxies

so i've been testing a bunch of cheap datacenter proxies for scraping and the detection rate is stupid high. used one of those.50 per GB providers, got like a 95% block rate on medium-security sites (cloudflare challenges after maybe 20 requests). tried rotating every request but they still flagged the subnet lol. switched to a mid-tier provider that's about $3/gb and my success rate jumped to like 70% for general ecomm scraping (still need good anti-detect tho). anyone found a sweet spot...
