    Proxy rotation setup with Python - price vs quality breakdown

    Been messing with proxy rotation stuff lately. For residential ones paying like 5-7 bucks per GB was okay-ish but the quality is totally hit or miss. Some give me maybe 10-15% captcha others are up at 30-40%. Datacenter proxies cheap like 1-2 bucks per IP but they get blocked so fast after...

    Free VPNs: Just a trap for your data

    so i tried a bunch of free VPNs thinking it'd be great for streaming and getting around geo-blocks. turns out most of them just sell your data or keep logs without telling you. used a couple for netflix, worked for a minute then constant buffering or they'd block stuff. feels like they're just...

    Cold outreach templates that actually get responses? kinda lost here

    Been trying to nail this outreach stuff for a while now. I read some threads on scripts that supposedly work but honestly im not sure what's legit anymore.

    VPN jurisdiction and Five Eyes - real talk

    Been digging into this whole Five Eyes stuff lately. tested a few VPNs based in the US, UK, and Australia. speed wise, US VPNs average around 80 Mbps, UK ones about 75 Mbps, and Aussie providers hover at 70 Mbps. but the real kicker is privacy most of these are under legal obligations to log and...

    Free VPNs - Hidden costs & data selling? Need help!

    So I tried this free VPN that everyone talks about, but im honestly frustrated atm. speeds are trash, like 2-5 Mbps on a 100 Mbps connection. but what bugs me more - they claim no logs, yet I see ads for third-party trackers and popups. plus, I read some reports that they sell user data, which...
