    IPv4 or IPv6 proxies - which one actually speeds up my scraping?

    Honestly I think everyone gets too hyped about IPv6 being faster but they forget that most sites and platforms still lean heavily on IPv4 for compatibility and stealth so unless you got a specific reason to dive into IPv6 and really test it out I wouldn't ditch IPv4 just yet it's still the safer...
