Should I get VPS and a proxy for GSA SER?

Hi there I am new to GSA SER and I have unfortunately been having a little trouble getting GSA to work well for me and I think the issue may be mainly Proxy related, at the moment I am just using the public proxies it finds and I keep getting errors like "no engine matches" and "already parsed" for most of the links on verified link lists I have been using and this even occurs after I clear the cache history so it has no knowledge of which sites it has already posted to.

Could this issue be fixed by getting a private proxy and if so where and what would you recommend?

Also, I would like to ask about whether I should get a VPS.

The reason why I am not sure if I should get one is because my computer already has 8 cores and 128gb of RAM and from what I have seen all VPS's are a lot less than this so I am thinking that the only plus side to having one would be that it can run all the time and I am thinking this will be good if I want it to run through a list but then scrape for more links afterwards. Also, I am wondering a bit if internet connection speed may play a large factor and might be a reason why it is going so slow, so would this be worthwhile or should I just stick with what I have now?

I am sorry if these questions are dumb but as I said I am new to GSA and a bit confused about how I can get it working well for me.

If this helps what I am trying to use it for is to prop up my link farm sites which I then have keywords and links to my main actual site if this helps you to understand the result I am trying to achieve.

Thanks again and as I said any help or advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated as I have read through a lot of material and tutorials and I am not able to find a solution, thanks again.

    Your system seems powerful enough to skip a VPS. In my eyes the main advantage of using a VPS is the ability to shut down your home PC whenever you want and keep things running 24/7 on a VPS. Also indeed the speed of the network is important. What connection do you have at home?
    Proxies are good, especially if you rely on search engines to get new target URLs. With more (and stable) proxies, you can query more search engines at a time and so get a lot more URLs to submit to. You can skip this part as well if you buy lists of sites.
    However, what your problem now is in detail is hard to tell without details. Please paste some log lines, screenshot or other details to the project you are running.

    Thank you so much for that help, that's what I kind of thought too but then to me my GSA SER should run a lot better than it is currently.

    Here are the screenshots of the terminal where I get the 2 errors



    This below is my settings for Submission and advanced.


    The rest of the settings there I didn't think would have much to do with performance, so I didn't include them and down below is my project options.


    I hope this isn't too much and if you need to see data or anything just let me know I didn't include it here because I didn't think it had much to do with overall performance.

    My internet speed is 26.26 mbps download and 0.76 mbps upload.

    I have bought this list I am using, and it should be good, so I am confused as to what is going wrong. Thanks again for your help on this one any insights you have would be great because I have no idea what I have done wrong I think the settings are right I have followed a few different approaches that I have seen on tutorials and I have fiddled around with the settings myself to try and figure out how it worked but I am pretty sure everything's alright from what I know, hopefully you will be able to see what I have missed, thanks.

    1. Your proxy setup doesn't look good. Why skip socks proxies? You should enable them and disable WEB only as they can not be used for https that good.
    Try using proxy options same as in screenshot from here: https://docu.gsa-online.de/search_engine_ranker/proxy_options#options
    2. You mix low quality with high quality backlink types in engine selection. Thats not a good SEO strategy but in the end Im not the one to judge about that really.

    I tried again with the socks proxies instead I have tried this before too but I still keep getting no engine matches, I am thinking it must be a proxy issue.

    I was sort of under the impression that GSA links would never really be that great and that it was more of a blunt instrument to get quantity over quality and that's why it was best just to keep both or so a tutorial I watched said. If you don't mind what is your thoughts?
