Proxy for Reddit accounts

From the title, what's best for Reddit account creation/warm-up and looking to build them long term? Residential proxies or mobile? I'm afraid if I start with warming up with residential and then switching the proxy to mobile it would flag the accounts.

Hello,

I would look into long-lived proxy options, rotating proxies are no good for account warming, look into sticky-session based proxies or static ISP proxies. In the end, proxies are just one piece of the puzzle and the account management and account warming system you need to develop will require a hardened browser setup.

Kind Regards,
PB

wouldn't static ISP's be bad if I'm looking to create around 8 reddit accounts?

Each would have its own static proxy.

I've tried both sticky and rotating desktop proxies and they would always get flagged even tried waiting weeks before any activity. Mobile proxies on the other hand, I've tried starting at day 1 but maybe it was just luck since I've only done it with one account. What are your thoughts?

I’ve tested both and had way more success with mobile.

It’s simply the nature of the infrastructure mobile IPs.

Mobile users are under the same CGNAT pool.

Thousands of phones can share the same pool of public IPs

This is why IP alone is often weak evidence for identifying a specific mobile user. And not even using a desktop browser is enough of a signal because people use hotspots all the time.

However, ask yourself, what’s the least likely to be abused or shared by others? A higher cost or more exclusive vendor.

therefore, even a more exclusive residential or ISP proxy will beat the cheap mobile IP that’s been abused by 100s of people

Plenty of people still have success with resi - but from what i’ve seen it’s the vendor that matters more than the proxy type

Cheap shit overused vendors like decodo = ban. Even if mobile

Pay premium (even resi) for brightdata, oxylabs, or any one else who’s not complete shit = fine

If you really wanted the best, shell out for a top tier mobile proxy vendor like mobilehop or coronium

However, most people are cheap and go with cheap vendors or don’t want to pay extra for solid mobile IPs - so it’s no surprise what leads to bans

No matter what you pick don’t cheap out

Solid points from @gZaw — vendor quality > proxy class is the right thought.

To your direct question about switching: yes, that's the real risk. Mobile → datacenter → resi in the first month is what lights up Reddit's manual review queue. Pick a class on day 1 and stay there.

Refined take for 8 accounts:

• Mobile from a clean pool is safest for new accounts. The CGNAT shared-pool point gZaw made is exactly why — IP alone isn't strong evidence on mobile, so the ban bar is higher
• Sticky residential works fine IF the underlying pool is actually clean (DNSBL-checked, not just labelled "residential"). That's where cheap resi vendors fail — they sell sticky on already-burned IPs
• Static ISP makes sense for 1-2 high-value accounts where you control the IP long-term. Less ideal at 8 as one ban burns one IP permanently and you'll need to keep buying replacements, this is why I mentioned an IP per account.
• One session per account, never shared, paired with a real anti-detect browser
• Warm slow: week of read-only, then a couple comments/day in established subs before going near your target subs

Your own data point (mobile worked, resi flagged) is worth trusting more than any generic advice so if mobile worked for one account it'll probably work for 8 as long as each gets its own session and they're not all coming out the same exit IP.

Mobile proxies are without discussion the best ones right now.
The second best choice are the resi ones.

In any case, go for dedicated and not for shared stuff.

The longest surviving Reddit account I ever had was literally built on crappy mobile data while I was doomscrolling in bed.

For long term Reddit accounts, consistency matters more than whether it’s mobile or residential. If you start with residential and suddenly switch locations or IP behavior later, that can definitely look suspicious. Better to keep the setup stable from the beginning instead of changing proxy types around.

last i heard its been this way for many yrs

Either or, between those two. Residential proxies are usually fine for warming accounts if the IP quality holds up. Mobile tends to have better longevity in a lot of cases because mobile traffic is naturally noisier/shared, but that doesn’t mean switching later automatically flags the account. Depends on the setup too, ofc. I think it might also depend on whether or not you'd be running automation since residential is usually enough. But yeah, mobile proxies are usually the go-to especially if you have the option.

Mobile proxies are usually safer long term for Reddit. Main thing is keeping the IP/session consistent, constant switching between resi and mobile is what normally triggers flags faster.

the proxy type is only half the story. the bigger trigger is behavorial mismatch. fresh account on one profile and then different geo, timing, device fingerprint and posting pattern a week later will raise red flags.

for long term use, pick 1 setup from day one and stay with it. if u have to switch later, do it after the account has aged and significant normal activity and not during warm up
