mobile ips always cost more but right now the markup is crazy. carriers charging a ton just for access, plus dealing with rotating sims and hardware is a pain. you're paying for legit mobile network routing which most platforms see as gold and lower block rates too. seen epc go up like 20-30% on...

everyone screaming about sophisticated detection algorithms (like they're magic) but heres my 2 cents based on 8 months of testing. 98% of 'detection' is just your proxy provider selling you garbage pools. ran tests on 3 'top tier' providers on a high-traffic target site (avg 15k req/day)...

just blew like 3k on a cold email campaign (outsourced it) and honestly I wanna scream. the CR was under 0.5 percent. everyone's out here selling these "magic templates" that supposedly get 20% replies lol like that's some fantasy land stuff. the problem isn't the template (kinda) it's more your...

so i thought i was ready to go big lol. my 50 a day profit was chillin on these sweepstakes offers with network A (payout was decent, epc like 0.25). then i doubled my spend on the same landers and traffic (push notifs) and boom. conversions just dropped off. like zero. i thought maybe it was...

so i posted about fingerprinting before. sites still catch me, even with random browsers and diff VPNs (like rotating between mullvad/proton/surfshark). tried the raspi openVPN setup too but they still flag me as 'anonymous VPN' on some banking/login pages. anyone got a workaround thats actually...

yeah i posted a while ago about anti-detect stuff. everyone keeps giving the same crappy advice like "just rotate proxies bro" lol. sites aint just checking IPs anymore they look at the whole setup like browser signals, canvas, webrtc, even your timezone drift. if your proxy is clean but your...

so you think you're clever with puppeteer-extra-stealth, a fresh residential proxy, and randomized timings. spoiler: you're not. the sites i'm hitting are still throwing up captchas after like 3 requests (not even fast ones). using a major proxy provider (you know the one), running the whole...

so i finally got OpenVPN running on my raspberry pi (took way longer than it should have). privacy was the whole point, right? but now im just staring at the logs. i control the server, so i control the logs. but my ISP can still see the traffic going to the VPS i guess? and the VPS host sees...

tbh need to scrape listings from like 20 different city sites (think craigslist style). each site blocks non-local ips. my current residential pool gets me a conv rate of maybe 15% before bans kick in, which is sus. so im looking at integrating with puppeteer-stealth (or maybe...

so i spent like 4 months trying to build links in the finance niche (loans, credit cards) and it was impossible. did all the guest post outreach stuff (sent 200+ emails, maybe 3 replies and those were trash sites). my rankings just stayed on page 4-5. was ready to call it quits lol. then i just...

ran a scrape test last week with cheap DC proxies ($1/gb from that popular vendor) vs basic residential (like $10/gb). dc got blocked after 2.5k requests avg, residential made it to 17k before captcha hell. epc diff was brutal - dc: $0.03 conv, resi: $0.12. so the 'cheap but detectable' thing...
