Hello

I have around 4 accounts that I have been posting in my PC and I'm about to open another one to automate on a VPS. I have read that if you are using less than 5 accounts there is no need to use proxies but since I will be using automation programs... I'm not sure.

Also I would appreciate any comments about proxy providers.

Automation programs don't decrease your need for proxies, they increase your need for proxies as bots are easier to spot vs a human. When in doubt, use a proxy.

However, your VPS already has a different IP than your PC.

Yes, but I would guess it isn't such a good idea to run the program from my PC just to get one extra IP.

Click to expand...

If you're using a bot you should shoot for 1 account per proxy. You might be able to stretch that to 2 or 3, but you really can't get away without using solid proxies.
