Can I avoid being blocked if I use my personal VPN?

Unfortunately, using a personal VPN doesn't affect web scraping results, because Listly's servers do the actual web scraping, not your computer. So even if you have your own proxy server, it doesn't prevent getting blocked or improve performance — unless those proxies are configured on Listly's end. To reduce your chances of getting blocked, try our public proxy first.

  1. Click the "Settings" icon on your Databoard.
  2. Select a public proxy
