So probably many of you wonder - How do you safely login to your different accounts from 1 Machine?
This is a guide for Multi Accounting for social networks and popular websites -
This is NOT For being 100% Anonymous if your involved in any criminal activity, this is not my guide's use case.
Now when it comes to operating few accounts - there are 3 main things you need to take into consideration.
1.
Footprints - can be anything you leave behind that can connect between your accounts.
This varies, and can be anything from crossed details, posting patterns, or most probably wrong use of proxies, sessions and cookies.
2.
Fingerprints - Identifiers which can identify you partially, or uniquely - if you are a unique match, your screwed basically. chrome is very good in making you unique
3.
Your Proxies - using bad proxies will block you out of doing what your doing before you start doing it.
It is good to login to the same account from the same proxy with the same session cookies (and it is very doable after you read this complete guide)
But maybe you must use 4G proxies for Instagram? well, it depends on your use case. I suggest rotating proxies only for account opening and scraping, for managing accounts regular private proxies are fine.
don't get me wrong 4G / Resedential proxies will work for most things you can imagine, but their expansive, and it will be an overkill for most times you just log to an account trough a browser.
Now lets dive into the proxy setup for multi accounting, we will learn how to set it up in all 3 major browsers and each of their use cases (minus chrome, which is a why not to use case)
Chrome - this is going to be short. NEVER USE CHROME for this. the reason we keep chrome on the list, is because this is where our normal lives are going to continue. do your regular browsing in chrome - and NEVER login to your accounts from chrome (chrome is fingerprinting like mad)
Firefox -Few months back they have added the long awaited "fingerprint" protection.
regardless, when it comes to security, Firefox is your best bet, even google knows it.
This is why we are going to set up our multi accounting setup on Firefox.
It also has some built in features to make it easier to use and manage. (although they are hidden)
Do Consider - This is not Selenium level shit - this is basic stuff, to get you going
If you have the money and already making money from your accounts - you can always try
LinkenSphere - which is a seller here on BHW and have a great solution for this.
Or Multilogin.com - which is another great service for this use. but their both EXPANSIVE.
Back to our guide: Now first lets see how we configure our proxy in Firefox.
Go to Options > Privacy and clear all cookies first.
Then go back to General tab and scroll all the way to the bottom to "Network Settings"

When you are in your network settings

Basically its simple as that. now just check that your IP isn't leaking and you are good to go.
I find it easy to just type IPLEAK - this is a good tool to check your proxy, and i am just used to it.
SKIP HERE IF YOU KNOW HOW TO SET UP YOUR PROXIES!
Now we will learn the actual "Multi Accounting" part of this guide.
For this you will need to open the windows "Run" command line.
First close all opened Firefox windows, and than type in the command line : Firefox.exe -p
This should open this interface:

Now when your into the "Hidden" interface just use "create profile" for each of your proxies.
Name them in a way you can recognize them later.
Choosing a profile will load it in Firefox - then you can setup its "options" - whether it be the proxy settings or even the cookies, It will always be saved to that profile, and that profile ONLY.
This will let you stay logged in to your accounts, if you use 1 account per proxy. otherwise do clean the cookies when you start your sessions
A work around would be to create a Firefox Profile for each social profile, so it will have its own cookies, even if they use the same proxy.
You can open multiple sessions with different proxies, on different instances -
but not of the get go, and i will get to that in a bit.
Also uncheck the "Use the selected profile" box - so now every time you start Firefox, it will ask you which profile to load.
Now if you want to open few browsers at once, each with unique setup - first close ALL Firefox instances.
Now just like you ran the hidden window with -p now you are going to add -no-remote
So this is going to look like RUN > Firefox.exe -p -no-remote
You can now open few "no remote" instances at once without them interfering each other.
So this is how you set up your proxy on multiple instances, without having to do it twice, or worry about using the wrong account with the wrong proxy. you don't even need to clear the cookies, each instance is now a "person" for good.
And i promised to use all 3 Browsers, so i will tell you the "niche" use for IE
Internet Explorer - you don't have to do it this way, its just a stupid shortcut i found for doing this.
So in IE, when you go to options and try to setup a proxy, it will take you to your "main level" of connections (same as if you would get there trough the windows "Control Panel")
Meaning that setting up a proxy on IE - will effect your whole network. Be aware when doing this, if you have other things running in the background, because they will start using the proxy too.
This is good for the niche cases you run a tool that doesn't have proxy support, and you want to make the actions go trough a proxy anyway (Proxy Skype?)
You can force it trough your system settings, but i just found it much easier to turn it on and off trough internet explorer. (you just setup a proxy like in Firefox, but when its on, its on globally, not only on the browser level, so use this with caution)
Hope you had a good read, good luck with your online personas
