A use case I've needed cloud services for is web scraping. Sites which IP ban web scrapers will still allow scraping from major cloud provider IP space.

- Arainach 4y agoHow are sites detecting and banning once-an-hour users? Yes, if you want to spider an entire website continuously, you could get IP banned, but if you're making 24 (or even 96) requests a day to visit one site and check some data, your traffic is indistinguishable from baseline.
- iforgotpassword 4y agoI've seen bigger sites block requests from ip ranges that belong to hosting providers. Don't know about cloud providers, but doing it from home with a residential address has the highest chances of success. You might still end up in the cloudflare verification page though sometimes.
