Do I need different IP to run 5 accounts?

It will definitely not gonna work... It will be banned very soon..
 
Let apply proxy or vps to diversify your IPs.
 
Depends on how you use them.
I have 3 accounts on the same IP and they are all fine for years... oh yeah, I don't spam.
 
I want to run like 5 Reddit accounts on 1 device on 1 WiFi Router. Will this work?
Reddit don't have anything running multiple accounts. It is against using them for upvoting or comment on your own posts/comments. Another problem is that if Reddit mark a bunch of accounts as being yours, once one account is banned, they may ban all the others.

Regarding the main question: Yes and no. Best option is to use a rotating proxy, and use an unique IP & fingerprints for each Reddit account.
 
Reddit doesn’t inherently care how many accounts you run from the same IP, unless they flag your IP (and by extension, your accounts). This usually happens when any of your accounts violate a rule, linking them all together.

Reddit essentially treats a single IP as "one person," regardless of how many accounts are used. For example:

  • If one account gets banned from a subreddit and you post from another account on the same IP, all linked accounts can be banned for ban evasion.
  • There are many other rules (like vote manipulation) that can trigger this.

How to Stay Safe

To minimize risks, follow this approach:
1 Account = 1 Unique IP + 1 Dedicated Browser Profile

Pro Tip: Avoid Overused USA Proxies

Many people default to USA proxies, but they’re often oversaturated. A better alternative:

  • Use mobile data (tethering/hotspot from your phone to your PC).
  • Toggle Airplane mode to get a fresh IP whenever needed.
This method provides clean, residential IPs and reduces the chance of detection.
 
Running 5 Reddit accounts on 1 device and WiFi can work, but using different IPs via proxies is safer to avoid bans.
 
Yes we use a separate IPV4 proxy for each account. The supplier also matters a lot
 
No, just use a different browser for each account. Have one on Google Chrome, another on Firefox etc...
 
You can try, but i`d recommend to use mobile connection - share from mobile to your main device
 
Better to use separate proxies or mobile IP rotation if you plan to scale or do promo.
 
I don't recommend doing this. Reddit is very strict with blocking right now. If one of your accounts is found, all the associated accounts will be blocked one after another, which will cause great losses.
 
5 might work out without a ban, just weigh the risks. If they are accounts that can be lost - try. If not, it's better to use proxies.

nothing wrong with that, unless you are engaging botty/spammy behaviour. also if one account gets flagged for a ban, the rest of your acc will take a hit. they have been doing that quite often.

Defintely not, each one of these accounts would need it’s own IP - besides that you need to make sure there’s no leaks of fingerprint/WebRTC in your configuration, otherwise all of those accounts will get flagged pretty much instantly.

Make sure you use good quality (4G) proxies, and a good anti-detect browser that’ll let you spoof useragent.
 
You can run 5 Reddit accounts on one device and WiFi without different IPs, but to avoid getting flagged, make sure each account behaves differently—use separate browsers or profiles, avoid posting the same content, and don’t log in/out too fast. Different IPs help but aren’t always necessary.

Running 5 Reddit accounts on a single IP (same device and Wi-Fi) is definitely risky. Reddit is strict when it comes to multi-account patterns, especially when they share the same fingerprint, IP, or device ID. Even 2–3 accounts on one IP can lead to shadowbans, blocked actions, or bulk bans.


If you're just passively browsing or upvoting, you might be okay with 1–2 accounts. But if you’re posting or messaging, each account needs its own clean environment.
The safe method:
  • use 1 dedicated proxy per account
  • with isolated browser sessions or an antidetect browser
  • ideally on mobile IPs, which offer higher trust and can handle rotations better
Using mobile proxies makes Reddit believe you're just a regular user switching locations. Perfect for operating multiple accounts at scale without red flags.
 
Running Reddit accounts on the same IP can work short term, but it’s risky. Reddit may flag them for suspicious activity. For safety, use different browsers or containers and rotate IPs or use mobile data occasionally.

Running 5 Reddit accounts on 1 device with the same IP can lead to bans or shadowbans so it’s safer to use different IPs and I’d recommend mobile proxies where you can manually rotate the IP, check the “Proxies for Sale” section on BHW for solid options.
