You ever try negotiating directly with providers or hitting up those smaller resellers? Sometimes they got better deals but you gotta dig around and build a network. Also, watch out for those shady cheap mobile proxies, some are just recycled or fake.

last month I tried a free VPN for a quick stream and saw my IP pop up on a blacklist, so yeah, you're basically rolling the dice with free ones. always read reviews, avoid the ones with shady data policies, and if privacy matters, pay for a trusted service. never trust free without digging.

Careful with chasing big pools and geo diversity, I wasted a ton on those and got flagged fast. sometimes smaller, tighter pools work better for me, less headaches, less bans. funny how that works.

yep exactly but ever wonder if some VPNs or proxies are just lying about no-logs? how do you really verify that?

careful with tracking solutions that promise 100% accuracy, most of the time they are just fancy hooks. Been burned myself with some of those "miracle" tools that ended up giving false data and messing with my campaigns. Always test and compare before trusting any "too good to be true" claims.

I tried SaaS recurring for like 6 months and made barely 50 bucks. Honestly, I found that promoting one-off tools with high upfront payouts was way faster for me. Recurring sounds nice but w/o solid churn rates, it just drags on forever.

bruh, just remember to keep your configs updated or u might get hacked (and no, running an outdated VPN on Pi aint enough).

haha, sounds like resource pages are the new minefield, I built on some last month and got a couple of deindex within weeks, now I double-check their history before even thinking about linking

You right, man, I got burned once trusting a network blindly, payout just vanished after a month. Now I track everything with Voluum, IP filters, and conversions, keeps the frauds at

Yep exactly, split tunneling can be a pain sometimes. Did you try disabling any other network heavy apps or background processes that might be eating up bandwidth? Just wondering if it's maybe a local thing rather than VPN config itself.

honestly just my 2 cents: speed tests are kinda pointless if you don't consider server location and congestion, especially with VPNs. a provider might shine in one country and be trash in another. don't get blinded by a single test - do multiple rounds and check for consistency.

Are you sure you tested it long enough? I've been running WireGuard 24/7 on my phone and it barely affects battery. Maybe your setup or config is different?

Alright so I outsourced some campaigns cause i just couldn't handle the volume anymore. Got a couple VA teams off Upwork and Fiverr, like 5-8 bucks an hour. Numbers seemed fine on paper but the quality was wild - some just copy paste stuff or dont even follow what you tell them. Tried setting...

Careful with thinking Amazon Associates is still a gold mine, it's more like walking a tightrope now. Payouts and cookie durations are shrinking and the ban risk? Higher than ever if you push too hard. Still some juice in niche sites but you gotta be ultra cautious or you'll get banned faster...

Last month I tried cheap datacenter proxies for a Yeezy drop and got instantly banned too, so I feel ya. My tip is to just go for a mid-tier residential provider like Soax or Bright Data's lower plans, cuz they actually work w/o breaking the bank. Don't waste money on random shady sites offering...

careful with just switching protocols without testing, sometimes a simple OpenVPN config tweak can fix disconnects better than jumping ship. also, check your server location and network stability.

ngl honestly, I think half the pricing is just bots and FOMO messing with the market, not real demand. u gotta be lucky or have insider info to catch the legit hot proxies early.

Check if your conversions line up with the traffic source. Sometimes networks can inflate numbers but forget to match the quality of traffic you bring in. Trust but verify, don't just rely on their reports.

I kinda disagree about buying links being worth it for the prices and quality. I remember trying to buy a batch once, paid a decent chunk, and the links were total trash - no real juice, just spammy footer links that didn't boost anything. Seems like sometimes you get what you pay for but mostly...

tbh yep exactly, the OP meant big networks usually deliver but smaller ones can still be flaky, just don't get too comfortable thinking all are like that.
