You've definitely got my attention. I was thinking it wouldn't handle everything I needed, but I could be wrong about that.
Specifically, it seemed to be geared to setting up specific profiles to return to later. Very handy, but not what I'm doing. I want to stay consistent per session, then automatically rotate to another in a long list of profiles, and ideally with slightly randomized details that match common setups within those profiles. In other words, I want to appear like thousands of unique (and unrelated) users... not the same 10 users over and over (although I do sometimes need to do that as well.)
What really drew me to RAS was the ability to spoof a variety of machines, control which ones I want to include or not in the randomization (mobile would make no sense in this case), and that they are actual machine profiles chosen specifically for their ubiquity. Is there anything else you can tell me about the spoofing for acc pimp? If I understand the literature, I would need to hand enter a bunch of profiles, right? (Not necessarily a bad thing since it puts me in control) What about automating the switch when I'm ready for the new session?
Does 100 session license mean total per month, or 100 SIMULTANEOUS sessions at any given time in that month? And.. each session would be like one tab per one browser, from tab open to close, right? So... If I have two tabs on each FF and Chrome on one machine, that's 4 simultaneous sessions... and 4 total regardless of how many pages I jump between on those 4 tabs? Is that correct?
What exactly is being routed to or from your servers in the process? Asking for security purposes, and to gauge impact on network performance.
Also, if you don't mind, I've got a big expensive mass private elite proxy renewal coming up. It's a good deal for what it is, and the proxies are fast (I tried half a dozen vendors), but do you have any other suggestions as to a better option if I really only need the IP's until I've finished one consistent session with them? I've got information overload on the topic right now, and looking to focus in on a specific alternative and get that squared away before renewal.
1. what is browser session
This is definition of "browser session" by mozilla:
"a browser session is a continuous period of user activity in the browser, where successive events are separated by no more than 30 minutes." However, in AccPimp a browser session is not limited by time and utilizes a pre-configured browser profile.
A session is NOT limited in number of either browser windows or tabs. You start from a single window but clicking a link with "target=_blank" parameter opens another browser window WITHIN the same session. New tabs are also utilizing the same browser profile.
2. Per session licensing
Having 100 sessions means that you can have up to 100 browser sessions saved AND/OR running simultaneously. If they don't work for you anymore, you can delete them and create new ones within the total number of 100.
3. Cloud servers
We use cloud servers to save encrypted session information. The overall process is following:
1. You create an AccPimp account, a hash of your password is stored in our cloud for identification purposes. We neither receive nor save your password for security purposes (it's how most websites work)
2. You create a session in AccPimp and within this session login into some website
3. The website sends session identification information and parameters to your client
4. AccPimp encrypts session ID and params with your master password and saves into the cloud
5. Now if you want to either access your sessions from other machine OR give someone this kind of access, you login into AccPimp from another machine (in this process your master password is being transformed into hash and compared to the hash we stored in our DB). After successful login, you receive your encrypted session data, which is being decrypted with your master password within the client.
I understand that using cloud part is probably not necessary for your purpose. For us it was a crucial part bc otherwise we would have to access accounts from a single VPS machine, which was not convenient at all (for a looong list of reasons).
4. Random Agent Spoofer
I liked the idea of spoofing identifiable browser/machine variables with most commonly used variables. We thought about adding some pre-defined user agents, which user could select from while creating a session. Also, soon there will be a possibility to half-automatically include plugins in a new session. The mechanics of this process would be:
a) you put some, say, mozilla plugins into a folder corresponding to some particular session
b) when you launch the session, all plugins from its folder are loaded automatically
In terms of
automation of spoofing RAS is indeed currently ahead of AccPimp but we might add some automation if there will be such demand. RAS is limited in what it can do because it runs within a standard browser build with limited rights.
5. Proxies
I honestly don't know what you could use instead of proxies. For our purposes we are buying proxies from a few providers from bhw. I could personally recommend SquidProxies. Their proxies might be restricted by Google search sometimes but since we mostly use them for connecting to social networks, they work fine. I don't have any special price list from there, just regular prices offered here on bhw
For your purpose a "pool of proxies" (or how they call that?) service might work. Basically, everytime you connect to the same inbounding proxy it routes you to a random outbounding proxy. I don't know if they keep you on the same outbounding proxy within one session though.
