When I started working on a data collection project, I thought the biggest challenge would be optimizing the code.

Later, I realized that the proxy layer was often the real bottleneck.

The same scraper can perform very differently depending on the proxy quality:

Different success rates

Unstable response times

Difficulty accessing certain regions

After testing different proxy providers, I learned that choosing a proxy is not only about price.

My current checklist:

Stability、IP quality .Geographic coverage Technical support

Recently, I have been testing Helodata for some AI data collection workflows, and the experience has been pretty good so far. Is anyone willing to test this with me? This is link .

Curious about others’ experience:https://helodata.com?ref=2g95i5

What factors matter most when you choose a proxy provider?
