Free:
List of proxies detected by Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Open_proxy_detection (usually unbanned)
Mobile data: Your mobile data, if not rangebanned, works very well at ban evasion. To change your mobile IP, turn on airplane mode and then turn it off.
TuxlerVPN: https://www.tuxlervpn.com (works well, note that it's an unironic botnet)
Cheap:
MysteriumVPN: https://www.mysteriumvpn.com ($0.03/day, you can top up your account with crypto)
PacketStream: https://packetstream.io ($1.00/GB)

FAQ
>I'm still banned despite switching proxies
Clear your cookies. The 4chan_pass cookie is used to identify ban evaders.
>How does 4chan block so many IPs?
They use a paid API known as Blockscript (https://www.blocked.com). It blocks IPs considered to be abusive, such as IPs from datacenters, VPNs, Tor nodes, free proxies, etc.
>Why doesn't my post go through sometimes?
This depends on a variety of factors.
It could be your user-agent, or your file is secretly hashbanned, or the flood filter is on.
If 3 threads/replies are posted within a short period of time by users with different IPs and 4chan_pass cookies with a very little amount of posts attached to them (aka 'empty' 4chan_pass cookies), then the flood filter activates. It lasts exactly 5 minutes.
4chan compares your user-agent with what your TLS fingerprint says. e.g. If you have a Chrome TLS fingerprint, but your user-agent says you're using Firefox, this is an immediate redflag and your post doesn't go through. Use only user-agents that would fit your browser type.
