VPN with scrapebox?

Is there anybody using VPN with scrapebox and not proxies?
I have to get a good VPN for xrumer (I heard it's better than proxies) but I am not sure if it would work well with SB also?

Which is the best VPN provider? I heard about hidemyass and strongvpn. What do you recommend?

A VPN should protect your IP from receiving spam complaint, but wont stop its own IP from being banned by akismet etc.

So depends what you are doing with SB.

You cant scrape at any speed without multiple proxies for example.

Could you just confirm the topology for such a set up?

Am I correct in thinking its:

ScrapeBox host > VPN > Target
