Latest articles and insights about proxies, web scraping, and internet infrastructure
We analyze how WebRTC and DNS leaks reveal the real IP in anti-detect browsers and provide a checklist of 7 checks before the first login to a new account.
We analyze 5 signals that indicate a residential IP has burned out and provide a step-by-step action plan before the account gets banned or shadowbanned.
We compare three ways to extract data during parsing: CSS/XPath selectors, LLM extraction, and hybrid, where the model writes selectors. We calculate the cost for 1,000 pages based on the prices of Gemini and Claude in October 2026, analyze the risk of fabricated data, and explain why the model does not save proxy traffic.
Platforms ban not for the proxy itself, but for discrepancies in the digital fingerprint. We analyze all 12 signs of detection and show how to address them using an anti-detect browser and the right type of proxy.
Changing the IP on request within the profile can save the account from being blocked, or it can instantly lead to its termination. We analyze real scenarios where IP rotation helps and where it disrupts the session and causes a ban.
Profile crashed after proxy binding? We analyze 9 common mistakes in AdsPower and Dolphin Anty and show how to configure proxies to ensure account longevity.
On September 30, 2026, Apify is closing the actor rental model: from October 1, it will be pay-per-event only, and non-translated actors will become pay-per-usage. Let's analyze how the parsing economy has changed, who pays for computing and proxies, how to set a cap on the cost of runs, and when your proxies reduce the bill from $8 to $2.70 per GB.
Simply obtaining a proxy login and password is not enough for automation. We discuss which API methods are essential for scraping, multi-accounting, and price monitoring.
We discuss how an AI agent manages IP address rotation through an MCP server while scraping websites, including code examples and proxy API setup.
ZennoPoster 7.9.1 has learned to count traffic for each proxy, while 7.9.2 and BAS 30.8.0 have switched to Chromium 152 and 153. Let's break it down step by step: which rotation mode to choose for accounts and parsing, how to assign your ports from the list in ZennoPoster and the resource in BAS, why one port cannot be assigned to two accounts in a row, and how many gigabytes the browser template consumes.
