I wrote a mass account-creator bot for Instagram and after it had created about 10 accounts, I started receiving "Sign up error, please try again later". I figured this was a MAC ban (since I was using a list of elite proxies), so I changed my MAC address and, no dice. Then I started using a rotating proxy (elite IPs only), and now, all my accounts were ALMOST being created. Right after asking for age, it would show another "Sign up error, please try again later", but I noticed that if I clicked try again, it would say the username was already in use, so was the email.

So I try to log in on one of the newly created accounts and turns out, they had instantly been banned.

So, I had changed MAC address, IP, I also tried restarting my router to see if the proxies were the problem, I even tried creating the new account manually but no matter what I did, I was still getting the same error(s).

I started getting a little frustrated and was SURE I could figure this out. Maybe Instagram had some algorithm where it logs the entire UA (user-agent) and somehow maps it with potential matches and then determines if this was a "high risk" registration.

SO, I tried running an Android emulator (completely fresh IP) to see if I could manually create an account, surely there would be no fingerprints by now (???)

I also tried using BlueStacks (which is just another emulator). No dice.

SIGN UP ERROR. Please try again later.

Is anyone willing to point me in the right direction as to what fingerprints Instagram could POSSIBLY find on me at this point?

EDIT: I'm creating accounts using new email addresses, not phone numbers.

It's not only Mac, ip issues there is a lot more.. use the search menu few people talked about it months / years back. :)

I searched but everything pointed me to use emulators, change MAC & IP :/ Any chance you can link me?
Thank you for replying <3
 
did you try using 4g proxies, they do have a better
success rate with account making.

I tried without proxy, resetting my router to obtain a new IP and got the same error so it can't be the proxy :/
 
other solution = use desktop browser to register + rotating proxies + register with phone number

This is basically what the bot does so I can confirm this doesn't work either.
 
If you're using several user-agents, elite proxies and none of them has been used for botting previously (or at least not flagged), you should not see any error from IG.
One idea that comes to my mind is that the bot could have leaked your home IP when creating an account. Proxy refers your IP somewhere in the request perhaps?
Your best option would be the 4G proxies in case those elite proxies are not going anywhere.
 
Instagram stopped to create account by mail. The instagram account can be open only by phone. Maybe instagram open by mail in future but now you need to create account by phone number only.
 
Just use Bluestacks with a VPN you should be fine. Using your phone 4G would help too, in place of the VPN.

This is incorrect. I have 20 accounts, all registered by email. Although If they notice suspicious behavior, they will ask for phone verification (unless you’ve clicked the verification link in the email)

I already tried, doesn’t change anything.

OT: I REALLY appreciate all your reply’s. I’m gonna try 4g proxies and will reply to this thread if it fixes it.
 
I do have a method that still works for browser creation with high tactics to avoid detecting footprints but I use only 4g + phone numbers (same country as the 4g)

Thanks

I just tried to manually create an account with a 4g proxy, made sure I changed MAC address, still no dice.

Getting banned instantly.
