Guys my reddit account got banned yesterday, it was verified and 2 years old with 2K+ Karma. I was using it in my phone's app (Android). Man i used this account for my personal use and for bringing traffic as i work with adult niche. It was helping me make a few extra bucks but now i think my IP/Device got banned from reddit too as i tried creating other accounts and they got banned too,

I want to use reddit again guys as it's the place where my bread comes from, what should i do now if someone experienced can guide me ? I have a laptop, should i use reddit in my laptop now and what should be my setup ?

One of my friend who works as a reddit VA said that i should get an Anti Fingerprint browser and a good proxy and start from scratch again, Guys please suggest me some working setup. Thank you so much.
 
Losing a 2 year old account hurts, but I'd try appealing the ban first using proxies or anti fingerprint tools usually creates more problems than it solves.
 
A 2-year-old account with 2k karma getting banned is almost always one of three things: a recent rule violation that triggered a manual review, posting patterns that suddenly changed (volume spike, new subreddits), or a shared IP flagged from another banned account.
First step: check your ban message carefully. If it says "permanently suspended" that's site-wide and harder to appeal. If it's a subreddit ban, that's only in that sub. For site-wide bans, submit an appeal at reddit.com/appeal — with 2k karma and 2 years of history you have a reasonable case if it was a mistake.
Also check if you recently posted in any subreddits with strict spam filters, or if your last few posts included any links. Reddit's automated system sometimes nukes accounts that trip link-spam filters even with clean history. Be specific in your appeal about what you believe caused the flag.
Actually i get this when i check my account on reddit.com/u/username

I didn't get any ban message so far.

I was using publics pics for generating traffic so i think that's why i got banned.
 
For now, I'd suggest using a different device and a different IP address to create the account first. If you only need one account, there's really no need to use an antidetect browser or a proxy. Those tools become useful when you're managing multiple accounts. As for proxies, you can go with either residential or mobile proxies, but I'd say mobile proxies are probably the safer choice.
 
Had something similar happen a while back. Creating new accounts right after a ban usually made things worse and they got flagged pretty quickly. Might be worth trying the appeal route first if you haven't already, If you're starting over, take it slow and build normal activity before using the account for any kind of promotion.
 
Reddit's device ban is sticky for ~6 months minimum and uses Android Advertising ID + GSF ID + IP /24 history as the device fingerprint, so factory reset alone doesn't help. Three-step recovery: (1) appeal the original ban via Reddit help — adult-niche bans get reversed maybe 20% of the time but it's free to try, (2) for new accounts, use a different physical phone with a different SIM and a fresh Google account (not the same one signed into Play Store before), (3) avoid the same subreddits for the first 30 days on the new account — Reddit also runs content-overlap detection that re-correlates banned users. Mobile proxy alone won't save you if the device IDs match.
 
if your old account got banned, best first step is to stop making new accounts and focus on the appeal process, because repeated signups usually make recovery harder.
 
new router, new computer, new admin details. NEVER log into anything again that might even remotely be from a banned account.
 
if you were working in adult niche, that explains how you go the ban, maybe you pushed nsfw too far, or you accidentallly posted in the wrong community. Either way it's gone, and you have to start over
 
RIsky niche. Should never put all your bags in one basket.
 
What helped me most was treating the new account like a normal dude's account for a while instead of trying to force it back into money mode ASAP
 
I'd try appealing the ban first, because trying to bypass Reddit's restrictions usually just gets new accounts banned again.
