Does anyone have any recommendations for legit companies that provide proxies from ASNs not marked as datacenter/proxy? I need some for web scraping, but all the ones I've found so far seem super shady...

It sounds like you're looking for a not shady supplier for a service that is itself shady. That sounds tricky.

brightdata, scraperapi

[rubatuga]

You won’t find one

[ranger_danger]

No you don't.

Exactly my thinking as well. If you have to do some sort of shady shit to get what you need done, then maybe you're doing shady shit yourself.

Web scraping is legal and legitimate.

[yuliyp]

web scraping is fine, but when you start to go around blocks the site owners are putting up to prevent it, it starts to get blurrier

Oddly, no, not really.

Scraping is legal.

Attempting to block it is a grey area.
