What proxy type do you recommend for YouTube + anti-detect browser? Residential is too expensive for me. Would ISP proxies work well, or should I stick with residential despite the cost? Looking for reliable options that won't get my channels banned.
Well, Youtube = Google = biggest ad network in the world and the owners ot the http3 protocol and the Chrome browser.
You wanna go into battle with them on a budget?
You need to know how to check a proxy, how to not leak IPs, set up an anti detect.
Do you know these google ads, where competitors click on eachothers ads to hurt eachothers bottom line? Google refunds these fake clicks, after figuring out which were not organic, they have a pretty good idea about this.
I can guarantee you that many many anti detect users are leaking real IPs behing http and socks5 proxies all the time, poisoning the pools, Google and CF take note and later nuke the accounts, they nuke when its 100% clear or no later than when it comes to paying out any money. They do not do in real time, the infrastructure cost would be prohibitive and slow down services, they do in layers and batches.
ISP proxies generally run on openvpn which is trivially detected and automatically assigned a lesser trust score even on a brand new IP which hasnt been passed around. If its been passed around, google and CF "know their number".
Residential proxies used to be better, but connectivity issues, short sticky session times and users getting flagged have degraded the trust and quality of these pools, so the situation overall is not very pleasant.
Mobile proxies get initital trust but what you gonna do on your anti detect phone emulator when Google asks you to open an app on that "phone"?
As you can see, you need a rock solid entry point aka exit IP, and a bullet proof anti detect setting to even have any starting chance whatoever.
If someone can afford Windows servers with real GPUs they are much better positioned to get away with many things.
The solution is not just about buying a better proxy. It’s about building a consistent fingerprint chain from your ISP, through your proxy, to your antidetect browser, and maintaining that chains integrity across sessions. I’ve run and maintained various infras for years without a many bans by focusing on these three pillars. In my tracking, accounts using residential proxies from pools with less than 2 hour sticky sessions have a 50% ban rate within 60 days.
I hope this helps
