Making My Web Automation Work Smoother with Residential Proxies
Blog Article
Working on web automation scripts, I constantly ran into issues with IP bans and captcha walls. Using datacenter proxies or free VPNs helped only for a short time, but sooner or later, the IP reputation tanked and everything broke.
I looked into residential proxies as an alternative, since they use actual household IP addresses, making it way harder for websites to detect or block me. After some testing, I decided to go with Nsocks because they have a huge pool (over 80 million residential IPs globally) and they allow me to target by country, city, or even ISP.
What I noticed immediately was a reduction in captchas and fewer banned sessions. The IPs rotate easily, and the setup was super simple — no advanced networking skills needed.
If you’re working on web scraping, ad verification, or managing accounts across regions, residential proxies might be the hidden fix you need. Nsocks is the one I settled on, but the real game changer is just moving away from datacenter proxies to residential ones.
Hope that saves someone else a few headaches!
