Collateral damage

Collateral damage

I don't think it matters. Using a residential proxy to hide your identity and disguise your usage patterns shows you know you're doing things illegitimately. My only concern is if this usage pattern is readily distinguished from someone using TOR, who is also deliberately hiding their identity and usage patters, but for a probably legitimate reason. If it is, well and good; you just need to make sure you aren't blocking TOR users in an attempt to stop AI scraping. If it isn't, you need to think long and hard if blocking that legitimate use is a worthwhile collateral damage from your attempt to block illegitimate uses.
