IP fears...

Hey, guys.

I know that the safe way of going is with 1 account for each proxy. But before I knew this forum I worked with 13 accounts on 2 Devices (logging in and out) and I never had an issue. Because I NEVER used a bot.

Is that the problem? That you can't use bots with more than 1 account per proxy? Or it can happen as well with regular accounts? Growing without botting?

Now I wonder if I just got lucky.

You didn't get ban because you sent small amount of requests at once. With bot it's totally different, it can send a lot of requests and if you do it for 13 accounts on one IP you will get ban for sure. That's why you should limit max 2 accounts per one IP address.

So it would be safe to use a lot of accounts if you use them without bots? because right now I run some "legal" accounts with proxies and maybe it's stupid.

Depends upon the number of actions you're sending per account.
It's always useful to use 'good enough' proxies as the offer you a lot more freedom.

Let's say if you're managing 12-13 legal accounts and started following too many people from a event you did or sent too many messages to the people who commented on your pictures, your current account might get blocked and this would hurt all other accounts too.

Thank you! Then I will keep using proxies. Sometimes I just think the risk is bigger in the use of proxies than in the use of my own ip haha

A newbie question here. As I don't use bots, just want to create a few accounts so I have backup accounts ready whenever IG is going to bann one of my accounts. So my question is, how do I even find out my real IP?
I logged into my router and there is a different IP than when I google "what is my IP" and go with the first link. I want to check if resetting my router (turn off and on) will give me a new IP.
But I am confused now why are there even two different IPs when checking via my router and when checking via the Internet?
