    It's hard to pick a good proxy right away. Providers put info on their sites, saying everything works perfectly, no failures, and all that. You can't really check that in advance. You can't always rely on user reviews either. Basically, it seems like the only way is trial and error, right?

    Well, maybe there are some third-party services or platforms that test different proxy providers and give info on how they actually work. But I'm not sure, I just think something like that should exist.

    In any case, you'll have to check everything based on your own experience. Even if there are reviews, feedback, third-party services, and all that. If you're having trouble choosing a provider, I suggest going with those who offer demo access. Even a week of free proxy use will help you understand if it works for you or not. I use this proxy https://floppydata.com/proxy-type/residential-proxy/, and FloppyData provides a trial period, which really helped me figure it out without losing money.

    Some sites are really upping their game with interactive content-quizzes, timelines, clickable maps. https://www.acehground.com They don't just inform, they let you explore the topic hands-on. It's a smart way to engage readers, especially those of us who like visuals and data as much as the story itself.
