Proxy question...

[Sean Fleming]

One thing I don't understand and would really appreciate help on is.

Let's say you're running Instagram bots okay fresh accounts on a vps. You're now going to assign each account a domestic proxy.

Should each Instagram account you will be using need to be created from the domestic proxy you will be assigning to it ?

Or if the accounts were all created from the same general IP... Then you link up the proxy once its created is this okay too ?

Probably a noob question but we all start somewhere right.

You need to use separate IPs for acc creation.

Yep, general rule of thumb is 3 accounts per IP. Never use a public VPN service like Nord with any accounts.

Yes I thought this as it was contradicting the whole system Thanks for reply.

I'm getting the hang of it a little bit just small things I was needing to clear up.

1 - heres how to do 2 replys in 1 post
2 - proxy ratio1-1 to 1/3 - lower the better

Yes. The main reason for using proxies is to isolate each account from the others, so there is no correlation (IP similarities) between your accounts.

In other words, you want your accounts to be as unrelated as possible. And the way to do this is to use proxies. Especially since you create them. If there was no IP correlation, there won't be any way to know if these accounts are related and used by the same person.

Or if the accounts were all created from the same general IP... Then you link up the proxy once its created is this okay too ?

You could, but in this case, you create a correlation between your accounts. And you never know when this will be an issue.

4g IP proxies > private proxy > shared proxies (VPN)
Try to use the same IP/proxy for each account

It's always best to create the accounts with the same IP you'll be automating with, but it's not essential.

Agree with proxygo. Let's say you use 1 proxy for 2 or more accounts. If 1 of them gets blocked or penalized in Instagram, the other accounts connected to that proxy will also be affected.

Since you're running a bot, it's safer to use 1 proxy per account.

It's better if you use the same proxy for account creation and management. It will help prevent login checks or captchas. If the proxy can't be maintained, you should get a new one with the same location as the previous one you used.
