How do proxies help with Instagram?

Hello, BHW community!

You are great with helping noobs, thank you very much!
I have looked through the forum, but did not find an answer to a simple question.

I can understand how Instagram counts limits for each token separately, but how do proxies help? For example, iconosquare does not have proxies for millions of users and works fine.

To gather a lot of data from IG you must use a lot of proxies. I belive they do have access to huge proxy pool, there is no other way.

And per IP as well, you cant query IG from same IP too much or you will get 429 error

Your main question is: How do proxies work with Instagram?
Answer: Proxies help because with proxies, especially if it's a Mobile Proxy, you get multiple IPs.
Everyone knows an IP address is like the address of your ISP Provider just like your home has an address.
Now, If Instagram finds that you are managing so many IG accounts from a single IP, IG blocks all the accounts.

Hence, Mobile Proxies are extremely helpful when it comes to managing multiple Social Media Accounts.

Hello friend, I'm not an expert in Instagram, but I know well the logic applied by the current Meta (former facebook to Whatsapp)!

As it is a for-profit corporation, they use signaling rules versus blocks to prevent the application of spam as much as possible!

Instagram's process is similar to Whatsapp, the difference is that Whatsapp uses record tocken storage and links it to a certain device!

But I believe that the rules for signaling versus blocking are very similar!

The use of IP Proxies Agent is one of the key pieces to make banning difficult!

Of course, depending on the quality of the IP Proxy you are using during registration, it generates a signal from Green to Red!

this answer covers it well enough

you need Instagram proxies when you’re working with automatic tools for Instagram,
such as Jarvee, Gramto, Combin, etc. Also, they are needed when you’re working
with business accounts on Instagram because Instagram allows having 1/3 accounts
from one IP address, which is mostly not enough for Instagram marketing.
