"Hey OP, I've been using Socks4 proxies with a VPN setup in the past but never the 1857 one. Can you tell us about how you found it and if it's reliable for tasks like scraper bots?"
"Hey guys, just a heads up - I was getting a lot of errors with Socks4 proxy 1857 earlier today. Think it might have been a DDoS issue or something cuz it's back up for me now. Anyone else have any issues?"
