Creating multiple profiles from same laptop?

Hi all,

So, a friend of mine and myself were having this discussion where we would like your input.

For instance, we experiment around a bit with creating Trustpilot reviews for our own website(s). We do that, by first creating a fake email account online somewhere, and create a fake Trustpilot profile via that email account.

However, we have experienced multiple challenges when we do this.
For instance:
  1. Email accounts: we cannot make more hotmail/yahoo/gmail/mail.com accounts from any of our laptops. They're starting to ask for phone verification now. They didnt do so, on the first 1-3 accounts we created.
  2. Trustpilot reviews: If we create Trustpilot reviews from our laptops, they tend to get banned/caught in Trustpilots malware/spam/compliance algorithm software (we get a mail telling us their software has found something and our reviews have been removed). Even if we use VPN servers to hide our location/IP.
Now, does these kind of services somehow know, that we are using the same laptop over and over again, and thus blocks our activities? I mean, is it the MAC address, some laptop serial number or what is it? What kind of fingerprint do they use?

And if they do, is there a way to "reset" it or "hide" it? Or maybe work around it somehow?

Maybe its a n00b question, but help to enlighten me then!
 
I don't have any experience specifically with Trustpilot, but generally in such a situation you need good proxies. You need to clear your browser cookies and history and then connect to the website with a different proxy. Depending upon how strict they are, you can probably create 2-3 accounts with each proxy.

Alright, cool. Thank you so much.
And just to be perfectly clear - VPN servers and proxies, are they the same thing?
 
I would start an AWS Instance and then just terminate it after your done. New MAC ID, new cookie profile, new IP.
 
Alright, cool.
But all I'm trying to figure out here is whether or not there actually is something about the fact, that i.e. Trustpilot somehow can recognize that I'm using the same device/laptop? Or is it just my mind playing tricks on me?
 
They are storing the MAC address of the device along with IP. Plus they reading all you cookies.
 
You have several options some more complex then others.

For the IP issue. As others have said. Buy, or look for free proxies. You could also use some sort of anonymizer service; hide my ass etc.. I like Kproxy.com Those can get flagged pretty easy though.

Another option is the built in free VPN in the Opera Browser. Googles on to those though.

The cookie and MAC issue is pretty easy to. Set up a browser and virtual machine with Vmware or something just for that account in some sort of virtual machine enviornment on your local machine.

My preference would be to try out the Amazon Web Services Elastic IP service and the EC2 instances. This is the route I’m going currently. I'll report back.
 
Are you serious ??
You can open multiple profile from the same laptop(browser). A good private proxy can do your JOB well.
 
Some basic functions in Python and Selenium I use all the time for starting with a clear cache and cookie profile. For the MAC address just do an instance or VM. If you want a custom python script to automate any of this. Feel free to PM me.

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()



def banner():

     print("*" * 60)

     print("http://www.MIPYTHON.com")

     print("*" * 60)



def go_anon():

     browser.get("http://www.kproxy.com")

     url = "www.google.com"

     browser.implicitly_wait(300)



     elem = browser.find_element_by_id("maintextfield").clear()

     print("CLEARING ELEMENT")

     elem = browser.find_element_by_id("maintextfield").send_keys(url)

     print("POSTING \t" + url)

     elem = browser.find_element_by_id("maintextfield").submit()

     print("REDIRECTING TO \t" + url)



def get_current_ip():

     ip = browser.current_url

     print("YOU ARE AT \t" + str(ip))



banner()

go_anon()

get_current_ip()

time.sleep(5)

browser.close()
 
How bought this? Automated Elastic Instance? No, it's not some wierdo shit it's a real service.
 
Check out Multiloginapp.

its an application used to create various browser profiles with or without proxies.

You can save them and assign a name to them, all that is needed to mask is user agent.
