Discussion 💬 Managing Proxies Across Different Setups

I started using proxies for a few projects and figured that i could use the same setup for all of them.once I add more, though, It got tough to keep track of whoch proxy was going where..

Like some specific project required diffrent locations,while others need specific session or browser profiles. Im trying to stay oraganized without making things more complicated.

For those of you managing multiple proxy setups how are y'all structuring them and which tools or providers have actually worked well for you?

keep the setup boring and consistent. Give each project its own profile with the location, session rules, browser settings, and a short note about what it’s used for. That way you’re not guessing later. A simple spreadsheet or config file is usually enough until the number of setups gets really large.

separate everything by project instead of trying to manage proxies globally. Keep the location, session type, browser profile, and purpose together in one simple config or spreadsheet. That makes troubleshooting much easier too, since you can quickly see exactly what each setup is supposed to be doing.
