Hi, i'm mafiosi and I have a few questions for you.

Does it matter whether I use a free or paid socks5 and does the socks5 location have to match the exact city that the cardholder is in?

Also do I need to use vmware/tor browser/vpn to connect to socks5 or can I just connect directly to socks5? Can I connect directly to socks5 to check the card by buying something small?

For my first cashout im going to buy voucher codes and then sell them on.

Also, how long will it take before my card dies? I guess i'm just going to buy something and not bother checking whether its live, its recommended that I should buy something small. And how much should I be spending on a product in order to not kill the card? I have a visa classic so I take it the limit on these is about $10,000.

The first card I have is based in sonoma california but im struggling to find a socks5 for this. I can find a socks5 for san fransisco which is about 40 miles away, will this raise flags if I make a purchase from this ip?
