You really want the cheapest? The cheapest have awful IP reputation, mostly datacenter IPs.

Most suppliers in the market are fly-by-night criminals or full-on botnet operators, mostly based out of Eastern Europe and Hong Kong. Then you have the slightly less shady Luminati type suppliers who pay developers to drop an SDK into their app.

If you want a legit supplier you can invoice and not have to use crypto: https://oxylabs.io/pricing/residential-proxy-pool

Here are some insights into how proxies are sourced: https://scrapingfish.com/how-ips-for-web-scraping-are-source...

There's also an option to build your own mobile proxy pool which gives you very good reputation IPs for web scraping and doesn't harm other people: https://scrapingfish.com/blog/byo-mobile-proxy-for-web-scrap...

Web scraping through a proxy to hide your own address is a shady business, by definition. So the "doesn't harm other people" bit is an oxymoron, IMO.
