if you're using the manual poster you don't really need them, but proxies are needed with Scrapebox in general.
I used only 5 private proxies for the last 3 months and they've done their job (kept my IP unbanned). But, I didn't care how long it took the software to do its job, sometimes it took over 30 hours to complete various tasks, so if you don't want waiting so much you will need more than 5 private proxies. Probably like 20-30 at minimum, which will cost you a ton of money.
Or I think you can install it on a VPS and use it from there, but I don't know how VPS works so I'm not the best person to recommend anything about VPS

as noted above,, yes you need proxies. Because you can get a complaint and if that goes to your ISP they can refuse to sell you internet access and thats clearly BAD.
so even 1 private proxy protects you ip of your local machine or server. However as also noted above, more proxies generally equals more speed, to a point, as proxies will have a max simultenous connnections limit. You can ask the provider what that limit it. You can always add more though.

Personally I've always used scrapebox in my VPS and it doesnt make any difference when you use proxies compared to doing it in your own machine, apart from being able to leave it 24/7 online.
Scrapebox and proxies are like bros, moreover, considering that generally the word scrape and proxy are almost a synonym.
(never scrape without a proxy, it's against every single TOS in the world)

funnythe word scrape and proxy are almost a synonym.
And yeah, proxies are a must for scraping. Regarding VPS, I thought that VPS provides you with rotating IPs, but being the non-techy guy that I am I probably got this info wrong. Oh well... I wasn't intending on getting VPS anyway, I'm pretty happy with proxies
