🔒 Proxy Behavior

The actor uses a smart 3-tier proxy escalation system:

1️⃣ Direct (no proxy)  →  impit browser impersonation
        ↓ If blocked
2️⃣ GOOGLE_SERP Datacenter  →  Apify's Google-optimized proxy
        ↓ If blocked
3️⃣ Residential Proxy  →  3 retry attempts
        ↓ If all fail
❌ Skip this request, continue with next query

Once escalated to residential, all remaining requests use residential proxy to maintain consistency.
