Do you create your accounts?

I've been experimenting with IG for a few months now, and wanted to scale it up.
Account creation is probably the worst step in the process tho. I've tried a couple of things and none seems perfect.

1. I used to have a bot, it used my proxies and ran on my PC. I used this to create most of the accounts I currently have, but it's not working at the moment.

2. I've created a couple with IGerslike, but they use IP auth proxies. I'm running FL with user/pass proxies, so they immediately get flagged for verification once I start running them with a different proxy.

3. I've created some with a spare Android phone that I have, using ProxyDroid and my proxies. They still get flagged for verification as soon as I start using them on FL.

I've thought about just buying PVA accounts, but I'd need to change the profile photo, which means I'd have to run them on IGerslike or Instagram on my phone. I bet that they'd get flagged during the process and most sellers don't offer reverification.

Do you guys just deal with the verification checkpoints? Or am I missing something?

Yeah that would be cool if someone could share about account creation because I'm having the same problems. I would love to buy SIM cards and create them myself but where I live the cheapest SIM cards cost 4€ so it gets kind of pricy if I need a lot.

Why don't you try to contact who created your bot in order to make it work again?

Have you tried creating accounts via genymotion?
