Switched to a new residential proxy pool — success rate finally stabilized

After the project data volume increased, the proxy pools I was using before started dropping
frequently and the success rate kept falling. Retry logic was getting more and more complicated.

Recently tried Helodata’s residential proxies. The pool is decent size, supports city-level targeting, and in real use the success rate stays around 99%. Latency is also acceptable. Standard
HTTP/SOCKS5 — just swap the config, very low integration cost.
Currently using it on a pay-as-you-go basis and it’s been pretty smooth. If anyone has similar
large-scale scraping or AI data needs, you can check it out:
Better recommendations are also welcome.
