Best endpoint for (web)proxy

I have noticed that for day to day web use, not all datacenter IPs are the same. Not only peering/speed seems to be an issue, but also certain IP ranged being blocked. Even Amazon EC2 IPs are not really awesome.

Does anyone have recommendations on providers / datacenters that give the very best "web surfing" experience?

Sorry if this sounds very fuzzy / subjective.

    Probably Cogent.

    Yeah, from my experience e.g. OVH can be a nightmare to browse from -- way too often get captchas or outright bans. Online.net was better in that regard.

    I guess for browsing it is better to get smaller and lesser-known providers, those with IPs not widely known as "datacenter" ranges, and hopefully not with a lot of scrapers and webspam bots running.

  • Any offers for US west coast with good peering? Private proxy, no real requirements (KVM nice to have)

    For what it's worth: One of the /64s Hetzner assigned to me seems to be banned from editing wikipedia. Can't remember if just the /64 was banned or if it was a larger range though.

    As I said, Cogent. Try fdcservers.
