VPN for using bought aged Reddit account

[rocktheboat]

Hello,
I recently tried buying a few aged reddit accounts (with karma), mostly for plugging things in comments.
The accounts were US-created so I used nordvpn to access them.
However directly after posting they get shadowbanned (checking in incognito doesn't show the comment). Happened with 3 accounts.
So I'm wondering:
- Would it be better to use mobile proxy instead of the vpn? They're quite pricy and I imagined a lot of reddit users normally use VPNs so that wouldn't be an issue.
- Any other tips to prevent the shadowban?

Thanks

Nord’s getting you flagged, fam, snag a residential proxy, post in small subs first, and don’t spam links right outta the gate to dodge the banhammer.

VPNs are hit or miss. I’ve had better luck with residential or mobile proxies. Also, don’t log in right away and start posting. Warm the account for a few days first — browse, upvote, etc

Ask seller to post a message on the user's page or any random comment before you buy the account. Did you check when the latest comment or post was posted by that account? VPN shouldn't be a problem if the account is not flagged as spam. Flagged accounts always will be banned after a comment or a post.

Thanks that's a great idea, didn't think to check or ask for the last posting time. Will do this next time.

But aren't aged accounts supposed to be pre-warmed? otherwise might as well just create new accounts? Point taken about VPNs though

Better go with residential or 5g proxies. Or find a vpn that is not widely used by everyone to spam the internet.

residential proxy at worst, mobile proxy at best.

I think using mobile proxies can help more because Reddit sees them like real users.
Try not to post right after login, wait a bit and act normal first.

Using VPNs like Nord can definitely trigger red flags, especially with aged Reddit accounts. Reddit might associate those IPs with mass activity or suspicious behavior, which often leads to shadowbans right after posting, even if the account has karma.
If you're serious about keeping your accounts alive, it's better to use mobile or high-quality residential proxies combined with an antidetect browser(Multilogin, Gologin,Hidemyacc,etc.), which helps create isolated browser environments with separate fingerprints. That setup makes your accounts look more like real users instead of part of a farm.
Also, try to warm up the account first. Let it scroll, upvote, and browse subreddits naturally before posting anything. That small step can make a big difference in how long your accounts survive.

Mobile proxy is the best, followed by residential proxy. VPN environments are all shared environment computer room proxies. It is recommended that you use other proxies to prevent being blocked by the platform.
