If you are running X/Twitter or Web scrapers in a cloud environment, it is strongly recommended to use a residential proxy. Cloud-based IP addresses are often blocked or rate-limited by these platforms. Ensure you have a reliable residential proxy service configured before deploying your scrapers in a cloud environment. If you cannot server requests from your node, you will not be able to earn subnet rewards.
