Switch to Multilogin for your antidetect browser because its fingerprint editor lets you lock the OS, browser version and timezone together, avoiding the mismatched profiles that often trigger bans

Biggest upgrade I made to this guide is forcing unique audio + WebGL noise per profile and never reusing the same ISP subnet, otherwise the device graph eventually links the entire farm

Here's how I go about Reddit accounts in September 2026. Everything I've tried since August using this method is still working well; no accounts have been banned. This is over a month's worth of testing, but I think it can benefit most of you. My setup is pretty simple: MacBook laptop + dedicated ISP proxies. AdsPower is still my go-to antidetect browser. I think any anti-detect browser will work if you correctly set up your device and browser fingerprint on each profile.

Getting Started

Set proxy OS spoofing to your current OS; it should match, though I had good results when I set the profile to imitate Windows 10 (any version). Adjust the fingerprint so that it wouldn't be illogical; by illogical, I mean the browser version being too old or the user agent. Make sure the timezone, location, and language match what's set per IP. You can set those within the profile settings on AdsPower or something similar on another antidetect browser.

Antidetect Setup

First thing after creating a profile, run the session and build out a legit organic profile. What I do, and what I noticed another guide suggested, is to accept various websites' cookies and trackers. Basically, what I do is that I go to websites like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, News portals (particularly those that the IP is located in, so if it's Poland, I go to Poland news outlets, e-shops, wherever cookies are prompted to be accepted. Have a bunch of variety websites accept cookies, and then go to Reddit. You can even create an account on Reddit first and do the cookie acceptance part after; I tried both ways, and these accounts are still in good standing. This matters because most people forget Reddit can also "link" your organic profile to what you do on Reddit, and I believe cookies play a big role here.

Email

Now, with email, I had a good run with ProtonMail; however, this month half of my ProtonMails were restricted due to some "unusual activity" detected from their side. What I mean is, they somehow connected all the accounts to a single device, even though each email was created from a different antidetect profile with different fingerprints and locations. I moved to AtomicMail, Gmail, and Yahoo; so far, these work best. For Gmail and Yahoo, you will need to have a mobile number. As far as I tested, Gmail allowed me to submit a single number for 6 times, and once I tried to create a 7th account with the same phone number, it prompted me that the phone number was already in use, so I had to get a new one, but this works. Similar with Yahoo Mail. You could also try a disposable email for a while until you find a good alternative if you're out of numbers, but remember this is only a temporary workaround. Also, remember to create the email from the same IP as your Reddit account. Better yet, create the email on the same browser profile alongside your Reddit account.

Creating an account

What worked for me was having an EU-based account. Spain, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Latvia, Croatia, etc. I'm not entirely sure why this works right now, but I've noticed how quickly US-based accounts get banned; either they have stricter rules for US people or something, but EU is the way to go right now. (I'm sure a bunch of people will move to EU-based accounts after reading this thread, and Reddit may impose new rules for all of us.) But worth the risk to understand Reddit more and more. For the actual accounts, try to have a persona on Reddit. Each of my accounts has a different persona attached. For example, one is a photographer who will end up in subreddits about photography, cameras, photography apps, etc.; another is a data engineer who will find themselves in engineering subreddits, entrepreneurship, new businesses, SaaS, etc.; another is a proxy enthusiast who likes to build stuff, so proxy subreddits, scraping, etc., and so on. Also, join random subreddits that match their hobbies: gaming, gardening, cooking, racing, skydiving. If you're going for EU-based accounts, as I recommend, join country-specific subreddits and later try to build your reputation there. Variety is key; I noticed that if you only create a dedicated background and only stick to it, it most likely triggers Reddit filters since it looks like the account was made for one purpose only - promote. A regular user has tens, if not hundreds, of subreddits. Also, don't forget that Reddit algorithms show subreddits more relevant to the user, so having more subreddits makes the account look organic, as the hobbies and niches usually rotate over time.

Warming up the accounts

Note that I take a lot of time to warm up the accounts, which may not suit everyone, but it still works for me, so I'm sticking with it. For the first few days (3-4), just browse and upvote from time to time. Open posts, click images or videos, watch some, and scroll and scroll; remember, don't comment yet. Days (5-7): join the subreddits I mentioned earlier that match the account's persona. On day 8 and so on, slowly start commenting; it's best to reply to replies instead of creating posts, so try to reply to existing comments first (sub-commenting) on new posts (sort by Top > Now). For subreddit selection, you can do this either by going to huge subreddits with one moderator and no additional Reddit Addons attached to the subreddit, like bot-bouncer, evasion guard, purge user, etc. (Check Reddit addons to learn what each bot can do; this way, you will avoid mistakes later.) Or go to small subreddits that also have one or two moderators and comment there. Read each subreddit's rules before commenting. I personally built around 200-300 karma just by replying on the AskReddit sub; later, I created a few threads there that got some traffic. Do this until the account is "in good standing"; do it across your chosen subreddits. Brand mention comes way later than you think. I posted my first brand mention after 2 weeks or so, and even then I still do the 1:9 ratio: one brand mention, 9 regular replies/ posts, etc. After a brand mention, don't forget your persona, and stay active in your persona-based subreddits. Don't overdo brand mentions either; they have to fit organically and add value, instead of just appearing as "Get X brand name." Please avoid relying on LLM-based answers. I know a lot of you probably do this: take a screenshot or copy-paste the Reddit thread, comment to any LLM, and the LLM gives you an answer. If you don't understand what the LLM is giving you, just drop it. IT IS VERY EASY TO SPOT SUCH ANSWERS for regular people, so for Reddit filters it's a no-brainer to flag for spam/ AI content, etc. Also, Anthropic introduced AI-generated markings within the text, which makes it way easier for Reddit filters to spot you. Also, while writing, I remembered that some subreddits also have a detect AI add-on; watch out for those.

P.S. This also applies to purchased accounts; if the account has a history of some niche subreddits, don't forget those. Stay active there too, alongside your new "Brand subreddits", same with regular comments and threads, take your time.

Things to remember

• Do not overdo it with brand mentions and regular replies/comments. Keep it natural; do not spam.
• Take your time; don't rush the process.
• Check the add-ons, get acquainted with them, learn to avoid them if possible - https://developers.reddit.com/apps
• Device/Browser fingerprint matters a lot.
• Check your CQS in various subreddits; this determines your current CQS (do so after some time, once the account is fully warmed up)
• Bonus tip: create your own subreddit and learn the ins and outs from it. It gives you way more insights than you think. Moderators in any subreddit can see your account history, even if you hide it. They can also see your contributions to each subreddit that you are active in.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, kindly let me know, and I will answer them. I am sure that I may have forgotten something while writing this tutorial, so please ask; I'll do my best to help.

Super helpful! looks like you're just creating your own accounts with EU based IPs. I want to try by buying some any recommended sites or sth?

Also, is your setup still working?

sophiecooper said:

I'm very new to this , where do you get proxies from? and what kind of proxies you use, and how you dedicate different ip to each profile and do you configure adspower profile or just create as what is preset by adspower and proceed with account creation.

deigrowth234 said:

No worries, I will not disclose the provider I am using publicly as it may come out as promotional comment, but I will dm you. Proxies are Dedicated ISP Proxies as mentioned in the guide. Basically each IP goes to different AdsPower profile. One IP per profile. IPs are from different subnets too, that are not even remotely close to each other. I also configure each profile on AdsPower to have more control and more credibility. You can adjust most of the stuff about your browser/ fingerprint etc on each profile.

Hey, yes my setup is still working for me to this day. I am currently not purchasing any accounts as the setup is still working right now. You can of course try purchasing accounts but it will be risky. Also, not a lot of sellers are selling EU based accounts, that's the main issue. But if you happen to find anything, test it and do let me know how it went

In your configuration, what exactly do you look out for or change?
I mostly just edit my profile name, I'm on Sun browser I think, and then change my proxy to SOCKS 5, then input the logins and test proxy. Oh and I also change WEBR to replace (can't recall, currently not on my pc). Then for the fingerprints, do you do or change anything? I just leave mine as it is. I was told not to login the profiles concurrently though, to avoid Reddit from merging the fingerprints. That's pretty much what I do.
Are you doing something different? I use ads power as well

deigrowth234 said:

Does not matter if you open profiles concurrently or not, they are different profiles coming from different IP addresses, with different browser and device fingerprints. Unless reddit has developed such a solution to be able to tell straight away, but I highly doubt it. For proxies I use dedicated ISP proxies, with HTTP protocol type, sometimes HTTPS depending which one works better. I do adjust fingerprint, not leaving it as default per profile.

what do you usually adjust in profile ? i'm very new to this. so i don't have much knowledge about these. what setting up new profile usually looks like? like webrtc, location and other stuffs.
