There are ways to get residential proxies in a more ethical way these days. Some apps/extensions are now offering money for network access/network usage and they are open about what they are doing. They pay you with cash in exchange for your network, no covert VPN or sneaky SDK in unrelated apps.
I think even the more ethically dubious providers are shifting towards that model. Which makes sense since they have to pay anyways.

If you tell a police search team you have plausible deniability they will seize all your tech and investigate you. If you're actually guilty there's a decent chance there will be other incriminating evidence. If you're innocent this will be unpleasant, expensive, and they might end up finding what they think is evidence against you anyway
