Frequently Asked Questions
The best alternative to AstroProxy depends on your needs.

Estimating your bandwidth needs correctly can take several tries, since it depends heavily on your current setup and the tasks you plan to run. Generally, checking search results or monitoring a few pages uses little bandwidth, but large-scale scraping can use 10-20 GB or more.
The most common reasons why proxies get blocked or trigger CAPTCHAs are aggressive data collection, too many requests in a short period, repetitive browsing patterns, unusual request headers, or low-quality IPs. To prevent blocks and bans, use reputable proxy service providers, like anyIP, and follow the best practices of using proxies.
No, free proxies aren't generally recommended for personal use, and especially not for business. Many proxy providers that advertise free proxies carry data-leakage risks, unauthorized use of personal or business information, or selling data to third parties.
