By late 2025, web scraping has officially become an arms race.

Cloudflare’s bot score now updates in real-time based on TLS fingerprints alone. DataDome blocks headless browsers before the first byte of HTML byte even loads. PerimeterX kills 98 % of Playwright/Puppeteer runs in under 300 ms using canvas and WebGL noise. Akamai, Imperva, and the in-house protections at Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, and Ticketmaster are even more aggressive.

Datacenter proxies aren’t just detected anymore — they’re instantly blacklisted.

The only infrastructure that still wins at scale is rotating residential proxies.

Here’s why every professional data operation runs on them:

Real residential IPs from real ISPs Comcast, Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, Jio, Vivo, Orange — genuine home and mobile connections. Zero datacenter ASNs, zero proxy flags.

True per-request rotation Every new connection gets a fresh, never-before-used IP (or sticky sessions if you need them). CAPTCHAs drop from constant to almost nonexistent.

Pinpoint geo-targeting Tens of millions of active IPs in 190+ countries, selectable down to city and carrier level. Appear as a local user on Amazon US, Zalando DE, Tokopedia ID, Mercado Libre BR — anywhere.

Pay only for success Unlimited bandwidth on traffic that actually succeeds. No artificial caps, no throttling when you scale.

Plug-and-play integration Native HTTP/SOCKS5, works instantly with Playwright, Puppeteer, Scrapy, Selenium, Undetected Chrome, Go, Node.js, Python, Rust — whatever your stack looks like.

At ProxyPick we treat pool quality like a religion: daily refresh cycles, instant removal of anything flagged or slow, and obsessive success-rate monitoring across the hardest targets on the planet. The result is a residential network that consistently delivers 99.8–99.9 % success rates even at 100k+ concurrent threads on sites that destroy every other provider.

If your current proxies are costing you more in retries and bans than in actual data, it’s time to move to the infrastructure built for 2025 and beyond.
