4 out of 5 times, proxies break because of bad IP pools. I swear by ProxyRack, their rotating pools are pretty reliable if you keep an eye on health and rotate often. Helps keep the bans down and setups smoother.

bruh, i mean some free VPNs are straight up useless but not all of them are trash. ya gotta read reviews and check their privacy policies, sometimes you find a gem that actually does what it says without selling ur data. don't just assume all free ones are bad, but yeah most are sus

last month i tried a bunch of proxies for scraping google, same story, got flagged quick. switched to residentials and slowed down my scraping, still dodging blocks better. maybe it's not just proxies

i played around with VPN protocols for years. honestly, i saw maybe a 1-2ms difference max, which is practically useless for gaming. it's more about your routing and connection stability than the protocol itself.

spot on, i've seen some vanish pretty fast, especially if they're not transparent about payments. one tip: join their fb groups or forums and see what real users say about payout consistency and support. always better to check community buzz before trusting a new network.

Honestly, it's like playing hide and seek with tech now, good proxies are just hard to find w/o breaking the bank.

99% of the time domain authority is just a rough guess, not a real indicator of a backlink's value. always test and verify yourself, don't rely solely on metrics.

i think people are way overestimating the need for multi-hop unless you're dealing with super sensitive stuff. last week I was testing some VPNs and realized most just add latency for no real benefit. overkill unless you

you think more automation will fix cold outreach or just make it worse? feels like most people are over the spammy vibe now.

Totally agree, spikes can be misleading. I use a tool called Ahrefs to check the topical relevance and domain authority of backlinks, that helps me spot real opportunities. quantity and spikes are just part of the puzzle.

Use Ahrefs or SEMrush to check the domain authority and backlink profile of the site. If the site has a high DR and natural looking backlinks, it's probably a decent link.

Honestly, I think push traffic being "oversaturated" is kinda overrated. The problem might be more on your targeting or creatives. sometimes just a small tweak makes all the difference, so don't give up yet.

Been doing this 3 years and honestly I think prices are kinda similar if you look at what you get. I remember paying around 100 a month for decent mobile proxies back in 2020 and I still pay close to that now. The main thing is quality and stability, so I dunno if it's really about prices...

last month i did the same thing, sent out like 60 pitches and nada, felt sus. turns out, timing and relevance matter a lot more than just personalized emails. did you try engaging with their content or commenting on their posts before pitching?

ok so over 70% of my clients who do serious privacy stuff swear by multi-hop, and honestly I noticed a legit speed hit but the extra layer feels worth it. Been running it for months and never had issues with speed
