Websites Are Detecting I Am Using Proxy!? Feel like I wasted money :(

[Christopher Munoz]

I want to know if I can use Firefox browser sort of as a mini VPS. My plan is to have my friends in India install Firefox and connect the proxies I purchased. They will be working on Amazon accounts. This is it really. They only need access to 1 VPS/proxy. I took the following measures:

1. Disabled webrtc and checked for leaks. Success
2. Disabled geolocation
3. Enabled cookie and history clearing once the browser is closed
4. Indian friends will only use Firefox for Amazon work. They will not use for anything else.

I tested this out on my own computer and so far it looks good! I checked multiple websites and my real IP and location do not leak. I also made sure to purchase a high quality 4G proxy with no abuse reported. And it is not detected as a proxy. (Checked many many IP checking websites). We will not be abusing or doing anything illegal. All whitehat work.

Interested in what you guys think. Maybe this is a viable solution or maybe it's a dumb idea. Thank you!

It means something is leaking your location in the browser - it could be you have location sharing enabled for Google, where it has access to your GPS to triangulate your location.

Run incognito mode and ensure your location sharing is disabled.

There's a million variables in hiding your privacy - including browser profiling (where every browser + plugins + hardware specs makes it possible to fingerprint users even if they're hiding behind a proxy or VPN. For Amazon purposes, you can just use a VPN with a non-chromium browser like Firefox and put it in incognito mode and disable all location sharing/webrtc to patch the leaks and that should be good enough for basic managing of an Amazon account w/a clean/private proxy.

hey wanted to ask, I tried looking up "buy non-transparant proxies" but nothing came up. Are there non transparent proxies for sale? Or do non transparent proxies not even exist

Non-transparent proxies are usually classified as anonymous proxies or elite/high anonymity proxies.

Without going into too much detail they both hide your IP, but elite doesn't forward on other headers.

Got it. Hey one last thing if it's not too much to ask. Can you check out the question I posted right above in this thread asking about using firefox as a mini VPS? Thanks sooo much btw. I really appreciate your help!

Residential or 4G proxy is more better I think.

Yes 4G is the best. Do you have any advice on my new question I posted to this thread? Thank you

 

[bugmyday]

does illumanti proxies open paypal domain or is it blocked?

 

[linhm]

The website has detected your webrtc, you can check http://pixelscan.net/ here to see if it is a webrtc problem

Just go with 4g proxies, that's what i use

 

[Zeldar]

I have tried residential and 4g and i have to say that 4g is by far best. Just use a reliable source

 

[hyioer]

use residential proxies, and you should be fine

 

[SocialEyez]

How you chose to go from data center proxies straight to luminati is beyond me

All I know is that my developer is using proxies from shared proxies that he asked me to subscribe to, and we are scrapping the internet like there is no tomorrow; I mean, he is; I don't know how to do that
