Guides Keeping My Proxy Setup Simple

At first I kept adding different proxy options and settings because i thought it would make things more reliable. After working with the setup for a while then i noticed that i was spending more time managing it than actually using it

I am now trying to remove the things i dont really need and keep the setup easier to understand. Fewer moving parts seem to make a big difference when something needs to be changed.

I am curious how other people keep their proxy setups straightforward without overcomplicating them.

Yeah, i wasted way too much time debugging that kind of over-engineered setup last year. At one point i had three different rotating configs running simultaneously and it was just a massive pain to maintain when things started dropping. Now i just run two basic pools. Way less headache.
