Same here, did a scholarship for a small college last year, thought it would be a goldmine but got mostly nofollows, and traffic? Almost zero. Think I might just scrap it unless I find a way to make those links stick.

Sometimes it's less about automation and more about keeping your methods fresh and unpredictable, ymmv but staying flexible can really throw off their detection.

Yeah, pretty much. SOCKS5 is the go-to for speed and flexibility, especially if ur doing gaming, torrents, or anything kinda heavy. HTTP proxies work fine for simple browsing or scraping, but SOCKS5 is just more versatile overall. ymmv tho, depends on ur setup.

Been doing this 3 years, had a similar issue once, turned out my dedicated IP got blacklisted by the site I was hitting. Switched VPNs and reset my network, worked fine after that. Sometimes it's just the IP getting flagged.

Honestly, you're not wrong, this whole VPN mess is a headache. Have you tried surfshark? their no-logs policy and dedicated streaming servers make a huge difference, and it's way less of a pain trying to get it working. ymmv but worth a shot

just my 2 cents: I think UDP is usually faster but can be less stable if you got a crappy connection or lots of firewalls, so if uptime matters more than speed TCP might be better ymmv.

Did you check your provider's setup? I saw speeds jump like 30% with WireGuard when I used a dedicated DNS, and that made a huge difference for me. ymmv but I think it's more about how you set it up than the protocol itself.
