Always test proxies with your specific use case before relying on them long term. I found that rotating the IPs frequently helps keep the bounce rate down and avoids detection. Also, mixing in some residential proxies from bigger providers usually gives better stability than super cheap options.

most guys stick to 10-15% cause it feels "safe" but honestly I'd test a little higher on less important pages, see if it moves the needle w/o red flags.

I disagree, I think most legit networks are pretty transparent if u do a bit of homework. I check reviews, ask around in smaller forums, and test small campaigns first. Red flags are obvious signs like weird payout

Ever try just offering a small exclusive deal or bonus upfront? sometimes showing you're willing to give a little can get AMs to open doors more than just waiting for volume to climb.

Haha, speed on Pi 4 is kinda like squeezing juice from a lemon, huh? I got mine hitting around 60-70 Mbps, but I was messing with cipher settings, dropped to AES-128, and it boosted my speeds by like 15 Mbps. Maybe try lighter ciphers or even just check your network traffic could be some...

Been messing with VPN protocols for a year now and I feel you. I tried WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 on different setups. honestly the speed difference was so tiny I sometimes wonder if hype just makes us overlook real issues. I trust OpenVPN still cause no leaks so far, but I gotta say...

Research helps but sometimes even that doesn't save you from scams, crypto's a wild west atm. Best you can do is test small, learn fast, and bounce quick if stuff feels off.

Honestly, don't get too hyped on proxies alone. Sometimes it's the user-agent or cookies messing with geo accuracy more than the IP. Try rotating those too and see if that helps lock in the right location.

just my 2 cents, using a vpn on the router can save you the hassle of setting it up on each device and might give you more consistent coverage. but do you actually notice much difference in speed or stability when it's on the router? or are you mainly worried about compatibility?

I think flipping over to openvpn or using a wired connection helps more than tweaking wireguard configs.

Actually, even small citations help build that local authority over time, so don't overlook the tiny wins, they add up faster than you think.

Last month i hit a similar kinda luck with a high-value country but i wonder, how often do you guys switch up the offer angle? do you think it's worth pushing a different creative or niche if one offer starts to tank?

tbh "VPN for China / restricted countries - update on recent tests" last month I tried switching servers during different times of the day and still got cut off. do y'all think using a dedicated IP VPN might improve stability or is it just a shot in the dark?

Honestly maybe you're overthinking it, sometimes just switching proxies more often and not reusing the same ones on different sites does the trick. If your proxies look legit but are still getting banned, maybe the sites are just onto that

yeah for real, traffic quality is everything. spammy links won't cut it. gotta find legit audiences and build some trust, then you see actual conversions. most newbies just think clicks = cash but it's not that simple.
