Hello friends, I live outside the US and I need to create and manage multiple US-based social media accounts and a PayPal account without raising suspicion or getting banned. I've found some solutions, but I'm a bit confused. Let me explain what I understand so far, and please correct me if I'm wrong.
VPN with Dedicated IP
It provides you with a unique IP address located in the US. But the IP is from datacenters (not residential) so websites can still detect that you are using a VPN and you may get flagged. And although you use a VPN, there are some other ways websites can detect that you are not based in the US (browser and device fingerprinting, GPS data, cookies and other tracking methods). So it is not a guaranteed solution.
Examples of VPNs with dedicated IPs: NordVPN, Surfshark, PureVPN.
Residential Proxy
It provides a local and unique IP provided by an ISP (not datacenter) and it makes your internet traffic appear as if it is coming from a real residential address. When searching for a residential proxy service on Google, I found some providers like Oxylabs, IPRoyal, Smartproxy, and Proxy-Cheap, as well as some options sold on forums like Blackhatworld. They are sold either per GB or per proxy, which is confusing to me. I will use the proxy constantly, so a per GB pricing model doesn't make sense for me. However, I am unsure if I will need more than one proxy. Additionally, the prices vary significantly.
Antidetect Browser
It allows you to create different profiles, each with a unique fingerprint. You can create and manage different social media accounts on each profile. This way you will not arouse any suspicion. But I think you have to use it with proxy(s)? And what is its difference from a free private browser like Mullvad or LibreWolf? Can I just set up a proxy on Mullvad and use it instead?
Examples of anti-detect browsers: AdsPower, GoLogin, Incogniton, ixBrowser.
VPS (Virtual Private Server)
You connect to a private virtual machine located in the US, and manage your work on this machine. It is like having your own personal computer in the US, which makes it appear as if you're accessing the internet from within the US. So this can be useful for avoiding suspicions and bans. Prices vary depending on the features you choose (RAM, CPU, storage etc.), and I am not quite sure what features I need.
------------------------------------
So is there anyone managing multiple social media accounts and various US-based accounts in different platforms (e.g., eBay, Amazon, PayPal) from outside the US? What is your setup? Considering that I am a beginner with a limited budget, what solutions would you suggest?
