I'm looking to purchase US and Canadian proxies for my bot(Shopify products/Sneakers etc). Where would be a good place to purchase them?

I'd prefer something a little less common, since I was using Amazon Servers until they got banned because everyone was using them.

Thanks

Get a VPS package for cheap and have someone set it up for you or DIY if you are familiar with the Linux system. Many guides available. Heck, given enough IPs, you can run multiple instances on the same account.

Basically for sneaker bots, you can forget any major proxy providers.

Yeah..that's the trouble I've been running into. A lot of the major/common ones have already been banned.

What's a sneaker bot?

[Presto]

It's a bot that buys sneakers, and probably other stuff, as soon, or before, it's released. Here's an article that explains:

Pretty much!

Hehe, do you have any suggestions?

Any admin worth salt will blacklist common proxies.. however you can hire a botnet for a couple of bucks... then it will be much harder to block you.

Assuming you want to go the VPS route, there are many providers. Just make sure they have a good connection so that you can ensure you get the best ping possible as ms counts in the bot game.

I've had good experience with 247-host. I think they can even setup a simple proxy service for you for a few bucks on the VPS as it's fully managed.

But a proxy server is dead simple to install if you have some basic knowledge on Linux, here's a guide to install Squid on ubuntu.
