Proxies dilemma and ISP proxies scam

[Atom B]

We need to manage and scale multiple Linkedin accounts. What proxy setup/provider is best for this? ISP proxies?

I've heard from many people here that ISP proxies are just fancy datacenter sold at a premium. Makes sense.
One big problem with ISP proxies is how sequential they are, we bought 50 IPs from a big provider here and they were completely sequential with maybe one or two numbers being different.

But residential proxies suck in many ways too. Connections obviously don't last, IP can get rotated mid session, and you might get a bad IP eventually. Not good for longterm use

Mobile proxies don't make much sense to me either, because we would be using AdsPower macOS/Windows agent with Linkedin so how would mobile work?

Sick of this rabbithole.

sounds like you need dedicated static ISP/residential proxies. mobile proxies with ads power is not going to work.

where to get them? i keep getting bad ones from this bhw marketplace. they're either very sequential or just high fruad score like bart

Mobile proxies offer very high trust and are well suited for many use cases. When the use case involves long-running desktop browser sessions with strict IP persistence requirements, static IP solutions tend to be a better fit, as mobile networks naturally rely on dynamic IPs.

if its for accounts then 4g/5g/residential for accounts
is the way to go

Every mobile proxy provider only gives 1 port. Can we use that same port to create like 20 accounts? Wouldn't many of them be under the same IP?

For our target, I imagine it would be unusual to hotspot from a phone

I’d just stick with a solid ISP or really stable sticky resi and call it a day. Mobile doesn’t make sense for your setup.

 

[xavierfok]

to answer the port question directly, yes all accounts share the same ip on a mobile proxy. for linkedin that's fine if sessions look human but not ideal for simultaneous automation across all of them.

the real advantage of mobile isn't the number of ips, it's asn trust level. t-mobile and similar carrier asns carry far less abuse association than datacenter or most isp proxy providers... if you need per-account isolation, dedicated static residential is the cleanest option, just verify the ips aren't sequential and aren't on a datacenter asn.

Not all ISP proxies are the same though. Some providers actually segment their ISP pools by use case and manage allocation differently, instead of just selling large sequential blocks.

For platforms like LinkedIn, having purpose‑optimized IP ranges and controlled reuse can make a difference.

Just something to keep in mind when comparing providers.

Which providers should I try next then?

Your're trying to scam/spam linked in, how much do you actually think they spend on security, and a team of people to help stop people like you? Proxy sellers aint got a chance to outsmart a big social media company like that. They are noob business that just scam people really with fake promises, of unregualted usage. Think of it this way, if twitter/x can see everyones real country, you think other companies can't? lol

If your sick of the rabbit hole, quit and do things the right way. If you don't, years from now, and until you croak it you'll still be down that rabbit hole! lol Expecting something with a $1k budget to beat a company with $500 million budget?

TLDR
Don't do laughable things.

• ISP is similar to datacenter, only difference is "residential" ASN instead of server one;
• if you're ok with having few hours sessions - residentials are fine, your home IP is not static, it's rotating, just less often than mobile;
• quality of IP is more important than headers match (PC headers with mobile IP), get mobile with manual rotation (to change IP between sessions) and you're good to go.

 

[kindproxy_official]

Honestly, the proxy type is usually not the main issue. LinkedIn looks at much more than IP — things like ASN reputation, device fingerprinting, behavior patterns, and account activity consistency.

Sequential ISP ranges are normal since IPs are allocated in blocks. That doesn’t automatically make them bad. But any IP type (ISP, residential, mobile) can get flagged if the usage pattern looks coordinated or automated.

Scaling multiple LinkedIn accounts will always carry risk regardless of proxy setup.

just fancy datacenter

Always use ipcost dot com to check the ISP. It should be mobile or residential, then the IPs are good to use.

For LinkedIn account work most people try to keep things simple and stable.Datacenter proxies are fast but they usually get flagged easier. Residential pools are big but the rotation can break sessions. That’s why many people end up using ISP proxies they’re static like datacenter but look more like residential IPs to websites. Sequential IP ranges are pretty common with ISP providers since they come from the same subnet, so that part isn’t unusual. The main thing is using clean IPs and keeping each account on a consistent setup instead of constantly switching IPs

Update: ISP proxies just made all of our accounts collapse, but ones on mobile/residential are still fine.

 

[SargentoPlaneta]

Have you also considered the p0f or fingerprint of the proxy?

 

[dandandoodles]

If you decide to get mobile proxy, make sure it supports sticky sessions. Mobile proxies are much superior to ISP ones as the level of trust associated is higher, provided you choose a good provider. Problem with many ISP proxies is many cheap quality ones have high chance of blacklisting.

This ISP proxy issue is so common. Reach out to your provider's support and ask them to give you different subnets, in case one provider was not enough then use multiple providers.

the isp proxy market is basically 90 percent rebranded datacenter trash right now and those sequential blocks will get your whole network banned the second one account triggers a manual review. you are totally right about residentials dropping mid session too which instantly flags linkedin security. the thing you are missing about mobile proxies is that tethering exists, literally millions of normal people use their iphone or android hotspot to work on their macbooks every single day so having a desktop user agent in adspower combined with a raw 4g or 5g mobile ip actually looks incredibly natural to their anti bot systems. just get dedicated mobile proxies where you control the rotation and stick one account to one port, it is more expensive but it is literally the only way to scale linkedin right now without tearing your hair out.
