1. Don't buy the data center IP on the cheap, Netflix pulled the plug on those segments a long time ago. Last year a buddy bought a $3/month one on the cheap and couldn't even scrub the login screen
2. Dynamic IP to be looked atOperator AttributionIt's better to go with AT&T, Verizon, and other local carriers. Some proxies show US IPs, but they are actually South American IPs.

Real-world configuration tutorial (with code)
Take ipipgo's static residential IP as an example and show you how to match the netting on the computer side:
Python example (remember to replace the password with your own)
import requests
proxy = {
'http': 'socks5://user:pass@us-static.ipipgo.com:1080', 'https': 'socks5://user:pass@us-static.ipipgo.com:1080'
'https': 'socks5://user:pass@us-static.ipipgo.com:1080'
}

Guide to avoiding the pitfalls of package selection
Take the ipipgo package as a chestnut:

| Static homes | Long-term catch-up | 35RMB/IP |
