   Mixed feelings

   We used their DC proxies and Residential proxies. Resi proxies were having quite low success rate. We had to use resi solution from other proxy providers. Unblocker didn't work well either also it was way too expensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Smartproxy, NetNut.io

   👍 Pros:    Cheap dc proxies

   👎 Cons:    Quite expensive|Residential proxies are worse than competitiors

• Scraping script hosted on google cloud

  I have been scraping data from a website for a while now. I have an instance on google cloud run which periodically requests some data from the api endpoint used by the scraped website. All the requests are always made through a proxy called packetstream. Source: almost 3 years ago
