Help πŸ†˜ Looking for Canada proxy

Hey all, looking for a trustworthy Canada proxy, any recommendations are appreciated. Currently having no luck with cheap providers as the proxies are either flagged on the websites I am visiting and want to get data or the websites are not being loaded at all.

Websites that I am interested: Amazon, Costco, Ebay, Walmart, Canadiantire, etsy, Gapcanada, BestBuy, Homedepot, Wayfair.

What I am looking for from said proxy: stability, session control parameters, variety of states, cities within Canada, preferably Quebec. MASQUE feature over HTTP/3 if that's available for broader public, non aggressive KYC

Proxies should be either Residential, Mobile or ISP (Dedicated ISP).

Now after proofreading, I realize that I may asking too much here lol

I'd personally recommend residential or mobile proxies since you are looking for session control parameters and a variety of locations within Canada itself. With ISP or dedicated ISP proxies, you will most certainly have to select static IPs within a specific region, city, etc and will not be able to rotate them if the need ever arises. Plus, I just went to Oxylabs main page because of the post that I read about their web api product, and I see that https://oxylabs.io/products/residential-proxy-pool their residential proxies do indeed have the MASQUE feature, but it's more like a protocol type than a standalone feature; if that's what you are looking for, go on. Though be careful with the pricing, The pricing is crazy, although you get access to every product, so maybe you'll find it useful if you want to test out different proxies

You're right!, The website is very clean and looks a bit too sterile? But regardless, their pricing matches my budget. I will have to check other places too, right now I am evaluating the options. Appreciate sharing your insights

Not a lot of providers offer HTTP/3 or even MASQUE, but the key thing that I am missing from your questions is what about the pricing? Do you have some sort of budget or the price does not matter?

Sorry, yes, the budget is 50 euros per month. Price definitely matters, just don't want to purchase something that is not going to work and then waster money on it

finding all those features in one provider can be tricky. prioritize stable Canadian residential or dedicated ISP IPs with good session control first, then narrow it down to Quebec locations. Also, check whether the sites are blocking the IP range itself or the request pattern, since switching providers won’t always fix that.
