VPN Service

Sorry, if this sounds like the dumbest question ever but, here's the deal:

I'm s-l-o-w-l-y learning SEO. Recently I bought Scrapebox - think it's great, BUT, obviously public proxies are proving a time consuming pain, not getting good results - a lot of ZERO harvests/403's etc. I did run SB for about 3secs NO proxies and straight away started harvesting, so the proxies are the issue!

Am considering a VPN ("privateinternetaccess" specifically)

Is someone able to please advise, is this type of service compatible with SB? (I've also got NHSEO itself)

Thanks in advance for any replies - "idiot language" is great for me

For the record - SB is the best tool this newbie has thus-far encountered and very economical. Watching my $$$$

Please understand, I'm after something manageable at this stage, up-selling me stuff, would likely be a waste at this time. Thanks again, I got a lot to learn first.

Have dug deeper, see VPN is not for me, updated proxy scraper, so fingers crossed for better results!

Proxies and vpn's are completely different things.

Thanks, yeah...I'm working the issue through!

At a learning stage of SEO why you tools and VPN.. learn White Hat techniques do manually all work which Google prefer..

If you're looking for something solely for ScrapeBox, then you should be looking for proxies, not VPNs. I'd recommend that you contact Proxygo. He's an upstanding member here on BHW who's helped me with Proxy-related trouble on numerous occasions.

For scraping purpose in SB always public proxies, as they get banned very often. Use proxy scraping and alive checker tools such as Proxy multiply.

This will help you a lot to understand the difference:

don't use your home connection or a VPN with Scrapebox it will only lead to trouble

public proxies for scraping - or even buy lists - would be easier
