Hi!

So yesterday I made a topic about the fact that I got a massive PV wave.
I still don't know if it was because I suddenly started using 1 proxy per 2 accounts or because I changed the automated message being run over all of the accounts.

Anyway after a long morning of PV's I was looking forward to let my accounts run again. They started running immediately after the phone verification was done and now about 80 percent of the accounts are in follow block and I get an error when it tries to send a DM.

What now? Should I give the accounts 2 days of rest or is it the best to just change all the proxies since the IP might be flagged?

your accounts got flagged.

you send DM ? this could be the reason of the problem , try spintax.

Okay but what now since the accounts are already there for some time and I have done a lot of work to make them and grow them. What should I do? Change proxies or just wait some time with doing actions.
 
Same here... it seems that Instagram is not kidding this time.
 
wait some days , start from very conservative setting (no more than 25 actions per day and slowly increase them). also , spin your DM very carefully ( use nested spintax if you dont know just google it) .

about proxy i would say ig flagged your accounts , and if they got PV again no matter on what proxy you're using at the time , very high chance of account getting disabled.

ps. if all of your accs got PV at the same time , something must've linked them together and ig knew about this , do something or prepare for most of your accs getting disabled.
(check this > DM same patterns , proxy under same subnet ,account origin.)

I've been selling IG automation for 2 years, more than 1000 clients have passed by. I believe I was doing everything to avoid this, I dont't DM even in my accounts. As I read somewhere else, be ready for the storm.
 
Got the same problem, a shitload of accounts got pv/bans lol :D
 
Is anyone using residential proxies? Because I noticed that my accounts in my residential IP are almost normal, just a few errors, no block... while I could find just one client account on a regular private proxy that it is running normally.

datacenter here. I think residential should be fine. which provider are you using my dude? :D
 
I could manage to come back with a few accounts now after 1 hour, but lots got flagged for sure. I believe datacenter proxies got their final days in IG automation... but still working in some accounts here.

I could come back with 2 accounts atm, one is from Blazing and another from Storm. The problem is that is very hard to find static residential proxies at reasonable prices... maybe this is a market opportunity ;)

Yeah epecially with ig automation being so popular atm. I checked storm proxies, 10$/proxy is very expensive. How many account do you reckon you can run on those? Because i can't see it being profitable at all for people who do CPA :D
 
6 of 7 of my accounts on data center proxies just got follow blocks on jarvee, looks like it's time to lay low. The only accounts that were fine were ones on my residential IP.

I dont use their residential proxies, I use the private ones... $10/proxy is really expensive, but the normal is to charge per GB, and it gets waaaaaaaaaaay more expensive this way.

I got on all of them at first, but atm there is a lot of accounts that I managed to come back to automation without even have to phone verify... maybe Instagram sent this wave to scare us, or it was some kind of server issue they were going through... or even the update itself. Try just to login in the accounts without doing any action, then turn them on after a few minutes. It worked in 60% of my accounts that I tried atm, but there is a lot still with follow blocks. Since I automate clients accounts, many of them must have broken this flag wave.
 
I did something stupid yesterday, i switched proxies and then got like 100-120 accounts banned :D which kinda hurts. I will wait a bit and see how it goes for the rest
