My small LinkedIn farm went down

[JakeMat]

Hi everyone, Happy Monday.

I had the idea of a linkedin farm, where I create fake accounts and use them to do marketing outreach on behalf of my clients.

I started with 5 accounts. I used chrome and created separate users - then I created a linkedin account and used VPN so each account was created with a different IP. and I started to connect with people and everything was great till today (after 3 weeks) all my 5 accounts were restricted and Linkedin requires an official document to verify them.

Worth to mention I had 3 older linkedin account and they're still good but the accounts I created recently went down all together.

Anyone cares to share their thoughts on why these account got restricted or how should I create a linkedin farm?
Any help would be much appreciated.

My suspicion is I created the linkendin accounts with VPN but after logging in I didn't use VPN. so perhaps I should keep using the VPN or GhostProxy all the time? or It's google chrome which causes the accounts getting restricked?

Chrome profiles are not enough for running multiple accounts and also VPN is BIG NO for this kind of task . Once you hit the security time frame - you will be down.

Hi!

Have you tried using Firefox profiles?
You can use theam putting a different proxy on each. Using a Proxy is a more elegant solution for this cases.

It worked for me!

Best,

I wouldn't be surprised if they are collecting your IP and geolocation, and browser fingerprint (resolution, fonts, user agent, etc) and making a visitor profile that would be easy to detect even with a vpn or proxies. As a minimum you should try to switch between different browsers, different browser versions, change browser windows size, etc.

A quick update, this is what I did today. I create a virtual machine on my PC with different operating system (Linux) and try to create accounts with Brave and VPN.
Why Brave Browser?! Because if you go to settings/ Shield you have the option to block "Fingerprinting" and
"Trackers & ads blocking" - you just need to change it from Standard to Strick. Then if you go to whatleaks.com you can see, your browser is not sharing shit with the websites!! Only your IP address. But if you go to whatleaks.com with Chrome you can see your system's detail including your OS, Location, and your PC's clock and timezone.

Curious to see how this played out for you? I would suspect simply blocking your fingerprinting may no work as this will be seen as suspicious.
I'm trying to do something similar with another site and will be using Multi-login to create different fingerprint accounts and Luminati so proxy through residential IPs. It's a bit expensive but this might be your option you have to go for.

LinkedIn has over 20 metrics, that they measure in order to find fake accounts. I'ts much more complicated then using VPN / seperate IP's

 

[justbrowsinghaha]

You need to use a good anti-fingerprinting browser.

No - it seems you need Multilogin browser + Residential static Proxys (IPRoyal), and don't forget to warm up each profile before using.

How your journery is going now ?

How your journery is going now ?

strange - because I managed to create 2-3 accounts but I can't create more. Even though I'm using exactly the same techniques.
I guess I will work with what I have.
