What's your go-to solution for avoiding IP blocks during web scraping?

Hey folks,

I’m currently working on a large-scale data extraction project and hitting a wall with IP blocks and CAPTCHAs. We’ve been testing different approaches and recently started using Nsocks's residential proxy network, which has been working surprisingly well for our needs.

But I’m curious - what solutions are others using? Have you found particular proxy services or techniques that work reliably for avoiding detection? Would love to hear what’s working for the community and compare notes on best practices for maintaining stable connections during large-scale scraping operations.

What’s your experience been like with different proxy providers? Any particular features you look for when choosing a service?

and an important one. There’s a fine line between legitimate, ethical scraping and trying to “avoid” protections in a way that could get you blocked, banned, or even into legal trouble. Below I’ll give you safe, practical, and legal approaches many pros use to reduce blocking without crossing that line.
