Just bought proxies which cost almost $1000, things getting worse

[formen]

just Bought 35 sslprivateproxy ip, and 70 accounts, then the nightmare comes.
1.Old accounts which have been running for several months following 400 a day, now met action every day.
Reason:Seems that something get flagged.
2.Two old accounts get disabled.
Reason: GMT2 problems. it was not working as setting, causing unfollow and follow at the same time. Account get disabled instantly.
3. half of 50 new Created accounts get action block every day. Rest for several days, not working. Phone verification require every day.
For 70 accounts, i need to pay almost $50 for smspva service this month.

I broke now. Damn.

Sorry to hear that. Still seems like a relatively cheap lesson learned and I am sure you can still save a lot of those accounts.

I am also using GMT2 for a set of my accounts but I haven't had any issues with follow/unfollow (had some issues with posting content but I don't use that feature anymore).

It seems like your proxies might be an issue. Make sure you test out different things on a small set of accounts before scaling up. Good luck on your journey!

I didn't invest that much! but we are in the same boat, today 6 of my aged accounts got disabled & paid 5$ (getsmscode) to verify some accounts. YES IT'S GETTING WORSE.

30 bucks a proxy? Please give link - I’d absolutely love to see it

I pay them for using one year on Black Friday.
Not 30/proxy, it's 30/proxy/ip/year.

I have asked the supplier to renew some IP.

damn man switch the provider, their proxies are expensive
5.5$ a "magic instagram" proxy, that's the starting point you should have found other provider
about gmt, it may be good for mass farming but not for page growers and their f/u is a pain that never seems to work as intended
about account closure, dont know what to say, only accounts that got disabled on my side were adult ones
other niches work fine and not a single ban even tho i have crazy follow settings

Hello,

Well, due to Nov 19th IG’s algo update things are getting harder and harder. That’s what some people don’t understand. 2 yrs ago botting in IG was an easy pake. Not now. But is still possible. Let me say that IMO your issue was not bot related, follow and unfollow at the same time don’t cause bans. Again, I’m not saying is 100% true, is what my experience and tests have told me.

Your issue was definitely proxy-related. Is weird that you have had action blocks for several days with ipv4 proxies. Really bad provider let me say.

David.

Damn. I hope you get back on your feet. Good luck.

Sorry to hear, that can be such a struggle. Look on the bright side, it can't be this bad every month!

Others are writing about having the same problems. I also experienced this, but only on bot based accounts. Those only using the phone/table app are not hit.

So, either IG found a sure way of know who's botting, or they are only checking those that are not using the app, and only doing browser login.

 

[KraftyKyle]

Yikes, sorry about your loss. As has been said here, people have been having more and more problems with bots lately. Things will certainly have to change soon...

Seems like the right time to get into the other end of the business and provide SMS verification service.

Its definitely the proxies. GMT2 is working fine for a lot of users. Shouldn't have bought the proxies for the whole year. Any proxy could be flagged anytime by IG, so as soon as you notice bans on a proxy, you need to request a new one from the provider.

This is the thing that they know because I too experienced that, accounts which have been started on a smartphone and then turned on botting those are getting no problems at all.

Haven't heard good things about sslprivateproxies. You should definitely test news ones.

I have some proxy from ssl, with big discount you can buy them for 2$/month/proxy. They are pretty good for account management but dont working for post on my accounts. Support is pretty good and quick.

By big discount, what do you mean?
Do u mean buying larger packages?
Thanks!

Were the old accs on the same proxy providers? I am having the exact problem, had 20 accs going just fine, plugged in 50 more accs from the same proxy provider and boom, even the old ones got PVs (which they never had)
Also, do you know if these accs were made the same day?

 

[NeuralBot]

for those new accounts getting repeated PV and action block, just dump them they will not recover
