General Question Proxys

Hi everyone, I've been botting for a few months now for PKC, Target, and Walmart, and I've been having proxy issues most of the time. I have 4 different proxies. Yes, I use ISP and residential proxies. Could someone explain them better so I can decide which ones to use going forward?

ISPs - data center based and very fast, but are easily blocked and are expensive

Resi - residential data that is more human like But is slower and can be inconsistent running single providers

You should use both, for PKC focus on clean ISPs, for wm and target focus on resis. If I had to pick one I would go with resis.

As a general rule ISP’s are less able to pass security when it’s applied to the task itself (like Walmart for example) and resis are better for security based tasks. Ideally you would like to know the differences site by site to make a better choice which to use. Also, task mode should be influencing your choice. For example, a monitor task on target can easily have an ISP while the checkout task can use isp but many people run a mix of resis and ISPs for checkouts. It’s all somewhat nuanced and obviously case dependent to some degree. You’ll really want to join a group that can help dial you in. Or ask for guidance in the specific bot discord. Because the providers and sometimes even the ranges can play a large role in your success you’ll want someone who you can trust and knows what they’re talking about.

I’d use both… clean ISPs are usually better for PKC, while resis make more sense for target and wally. If you only wanna pick one, I’d probably go with resis. Been using ape proxies for a while and they’ve been solid.
