The crashing is almost always a proxy timeout issue, not ScrapeBox itself — it chokes when too many threads hit slow proxies simultaneously. Fix: drop threads to 50, set proxy timeout to 10s, and use dedicated datacenter proxies for this (residential is overkill for tier-2, just wastes bandwidth). For a cheap VPS, any Hetzner or Contabo Windows box at €4-6/month handles ScrapeBox fine — it's lightweight enough for the lowest tier. Most "managed ScrapeBox services" are just people running it on exactly that setup.
