A Practical Fix for Region-Based Access and IP Bans
A Practical Fix for Region-Based Access and IP Bans
Blog Article
I run a lot of projects that involve data scraping, ad testing, and checking landing pages across different countries. For a long time, I relied on VPNs or free proxies, but the results were frustrating — constant captchas, blocked IPs, and unreliable speeds.
Eventually, I looked into residential proxies, which basically route traffic through real household IPs. It made a huge difference, since websites treated my requests like genuine users instead of bots.
I ended up using Nsocks because their network is pretty massive (over 80 million IPs in 195+ countries), and you can actually pick IPs by city or ISP, which helped me a lot with ad verification and A/B testing. The integration was simple enough, and things just worked without constant tweaking.
If you ever deal with geo-restricted content, multi-account workflows, or scraping projects, residential proxies might save you a lot of headaches. Nsocks is the one I stuck with, but the key is really using residential IPs rather than data center ones.
Just thought I’d share this in case anyone else has been hitting the same walls I was.
