Too bad AWS didn’t get that memo, 200GB would cost $18 there, and somehow the company in the original post is paying $500 for that bandwidth with whoever their proxy host is.
Haha unfortunately we use residential proxies under the hood to simulate real users (as you'd expect from AI agents), where bandwidth is significantly more expensive!
Computers getting infected with malware, pre-compromised cheap internet devices from Amazon/Wish.com, and game developers monetizing "free" games by running proxies in the background.
There are usually a few layers of resellers so technically the proxy provider can throw their hands up in the air and say they are unaware of any malicious activity.
