Maintaining a clean proxy list
I manage a rotating proxy list for my web scraping tasks, but I keep getting blocked because the pool occasionally assigns dead or blacklisted IPs. How do other developers filter out the bad IPs from their list?

The protocol you choose makes a huge difference in performance. SOCKS5 is generally faster and supports UDP, while HTTP is great for regular web traffic. Before you decide, it's best to run a performance comparison. You can check proxies https://proxy-checker.net/en/ to evaluate the latency of both HTTP and SOCKS5 servers in real-time.
