Hey I run 200+ IG Accounts (3-5 years old and I use them for 6month already) on SuSocial/Jarvee but for month I just keep it running with bad results (because my focus is somewhere else).

I wanna finally fix it:

1. Which Proxies should I use?
- I currently use static residential US proxies, 1 account per proxy. Should I switch to US rotating mobile proxies? My proxy provider told me that I can add 25-30 accounts to 1 mobile proxy

2. Warmup for COLD DMs....
- I usually run Full Browser Experience (Scrolling, visiting outbound pages) and started Cold Dms (started very slow until I get to 20 or so)



It mostly failed, many accounts get blocks, many fail to do enough dms...Most Dms go to Request folder (Not hidden) but the results are still bad because most accounts get bad status, email confirmations, phone validations (5im etc)....



Anyone can help me what I can do?
Will mobie proxies help?
Should I run different actions?



GOAL:

- Run 200 Accounts with 15-25 cold dms , stable.
- Minimal issues
 
1) You can do infinite accounts with mobile proxies basically as long as you rotate the proxy here and there. That’s the whole point about phone networks so yes, though they are more expensive, if you run a lot of accounts, and on mobile, it is probably best.

2) IG DM is IMO terrible success rate. Some people may tell you differently, but unless you play a numbers game of doing big numbers you are better off with another outreach method, just my opinion though.

Ok, so my provider told me to run 30 on 1 mobile so if I use 7 mobile proxies and all rotate every 15min, will this be enough? Not sure how Jarvee/Susocial works, if I have to change the actions settings also or if the rotating is enough. Usually I just run them with random starting points


Should I focus on follow/like and link my main IG in the bio of each of the 200 accounts? I linked it on like 30 accounts already. Not sure if thats safe.

A good bio, CTA and @mainprofile works better?

And DM only to new followers maybe?
 
The golden rule is to mimic human behaviour as best as possible. There are generally 3-4 variables that matter:

1) Proxy -- a residential proxy is not bad in itself (mimics someone connecting from a residence/physical location), as long as the pool of IPs provided by the proxy provider are "clean" and not flagged as spammy by Meta. So it's not just about your activities but also everyone else using that proxy provider. The reason is that residential proxies have "static" IPs, meaning they are a set number of IPs assigned to that provider. Therefore, you are affected by everyone using that pool. Mobile proxies on the other hand have a higher trust factor because they have "dynamic" IPs, meaning they mimic you connecting in and out of cell towers with a mobile phone and getting a new IP each time you reconnect. Those pools of IPs are much, much larger, especially in dense urban areas, and therefore the platforms cannot track them as easily. Besides, traditionally, high-risk activities have stemmed from datacenter & residential proxies.

2) Device & browser fingerprint -- when you are connecting to the platform, your traffic is also sending data (software/system/settings) about what device and browser you are using. So for example, using rotating a mobile proxy will not matter if you are using the same device for all accounts. The platform will detect that it is all coming from the same device!

3) History & activity of the account -- obviously older accounts with regular activity are more stable because they have passed the initial scrutiny period. Nevertheless, even with older accounts, if they suddenly start with mass-high risk activities, targeting accounts that are not followers, then yes, they will get flagged immediately.

4) Geo -- the location of your account vs your proxy geo vs your device location matters and any sudden changes to them raises flags. As an example, if your accounts are created in/for the UK, you want a mobile proxy for the UK and the device locale to be the UK.

I haven't used Susocial but keeping the above in mind, I would do the following:
  • Get a mobile proxy for the country of the accounts and ensure it matches the geo for the device fingerprint / user agent.
  • Accounts - start slowly. Run 2 accounts at a time on the proxy (trigger an IP rotation on the start of each new batch). Every few days, increase by one or two and max out at between 5-20 accounts running at the same time (really varies for everyone, so test and see what works for you).
  • Activities - ease in. Day 1: do low-risk activities (scroll trough feeds, view & like posts, etc), in small numbers. Day 2: send 2-5 DMs. Day 3: rest the accounts. Do that for a week or two. See how it goes and tweak as needed. Then same as with the accounts, increase the numbers over time. Max out at 20-40 DMs per account per day, ideally split up into two or three sessions per day.

By the way, do note that Meta right now has had a surge in banning accounts because they've started using AI to review accounts. A lot of legit accounts have been caught up and Meta is facing a backlash for that. Look at the Instagram subreddit and you'll see tons of people posting about that. That is unfortunately a factor that we cannot affect.
 
Mobile proxies are solid, but don’t throw 25+ accounts on one. 3 per proxy is much safer. Warm up accounts properly, avoid spammy messages, and track everything closely.
 
1. Which Proxies should I use?
Switch to 4g Proxies, if possible make them in house and use 5 accounts per Proxy max if you want to do more actions per account.
Most Dms go to Request folder (Not hidden) but the results are still bad because most accounts get bad status, email confirmations, phone validations (5im etc)....
Cold DMs go to requests folder only, and you can send 50-60 DMs a day max if you send it properly. And stop using API Based tools, Switch to VA or a Service.
 
It is easy to get banned if you use multiple accounts. It is not recommended to use multiple devices.
 
1. You can try using US rotating mobile proxies for your IG accounts instead of static residential proxies. Your proxy provider says you can add 25-30 accounts to 1 mobile proxy, so that may help.
2. For cold DMs, you can continue with the Full Browser Experience and start slow with 20 or so DMs. Maybe try different actions like sending messages at different times or changing the content of your messages. Overall, using mobile proxies and experimenting with different actions may help you reach your goal of running 200 accounts with stable cold DMs.
 
Did you're working again scale like this then mobile proxies might be more viable. Static ISP proxies do work though

Yes, rotating US mobile proxies are far more forgiving than static residentials, especially for cold outreach. Mobile IPs behave more like real users in Instagram’s eyes, reducing blocks, 5im triggers, and email/phone validation loops. But don’t overload ,25–30 accounts on one proxy is excessive. For stability, max out around 8–10 accounts per rotating mobile proxy with session isolation.
Also, cold DMs work better after meaningful warmup. Instead of just scrolling, simulate real engagement: reply to comments, watch stories, save posts. Only introduce DMs after several days of consistent human-like activity. That’s how you maintain deliverability and reduce risk.
 
static residential is mid at best for IG mass DM and mobile proxies will def help. they’re more trusted by IG and can handle higher activity without getting slapped as fast.

your provider’s prob right, 20 to 30 accs per mobile proxy can work if the setup is clean. just don’t go hard too fast. for cold DMs warmup matters but also rotate message templates, delay patterns and mix in other actions like story views or light engagement. full browser helps but it’s not magic. also make sure your accs have solid trust (u can check on r/WhatIsMyCQS for example)
 
Use a 4G proxy with rotation. That can allow you to run 100+ accounts if you have the rotation for the proxy. In addition, if you plan on using API for cold dms, just know that the accounts are at very high risk. Welcome dms are a safer option that many agencies use.

Have you given any other tool a shot, in hopes of resolving all these issues in just 1 go?

For the warm-up process, you should create some initial interactions for those accounts. For example, besides scrolling, you can post, interact with other Instagram accounts, and then start messaging. Before messaging, you must ensure that the authentication for your account is properly set up

I think a static residential US proxy is a good choice. Using 1 proxy per account is the most reasonable approach. If you switch to rotating proxies, you won’t be able to open multiple profiles at the same time. Additionally, you can also attach proxies to antidetect browser profiles to manage multiple accounts more effectively.

Im in the same shoes but I have 2k accounts on standby with a whole infrastructure BUT my issue is I have not mastered the warmup stuff yet. I can automate just about anything so if you'd like we can share some strategies, Ill set up tracking specific parameters and see which accounts last the longest.
 
i tried cold DMs and learned the hard way. warm the account first with normal likes and comments, post a few real things so profile not empty, then send a couple personalised DMs a day and not mass blasts. keep messages short and real so people don’t report you. use clean providers and test one profile only before you scale, and if you want to buy proxies or aged accounts check the marketplace or post in the WTB section.
