Q&A: Why are accounts usually suspended after adding proxies?

Many of you have likely encountered the issue where accounts, after being purchased from a seller and having a proxy attached, end up getting suspended. So, what’s the reason behind this? Based on my experience, I believe there are a few key factors:

Sudden IP address change
Depending on the seller, they may provide a proxy along with the account, but typically, once you purchase the account, you’ll need to add your own proxy. A sudden change in IP address can raise a huge red flag and cause the website to become suspicious. Therefore, when changing proxies, it’s best to select one that matches the original location, for example, the same country, state, or city.

Weak account
Another reason could be that the account is new and hasn’t been properly warmed up before being sold. New accounts often have low trust, so any abnormal behavior, even the smallest, can trigger suspicion and prompt the website to lock the account for identity verification. If you decide to purchase newly created accounts, be prepared for a higher risk of the account getting suspended.

Improper farming methods
Apart from the above reasons, a third possible cause could be the way the accounts are being farmed, especially for those of you managing large numbers of accounts. For example, creating a new account but then mass-adding friends, spamming comments, and engaging in excessive interactions can lead to flags that result in suspension.

What other reasons do you think could cause an account to get suspended after adding a proxy? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below for a discussion.

Exactly! I’ve dealt with this issue myself — if the IP jumps around, the platform immediately starts to get suspicious. Also, if the account is “raw,” meaning new and without history, the chance of getting blocked skyrockets. It’s important not to overload it with too many actions at once because that raises red flags too. Overall, you need to do everything smoothly and thoughtfully to lower the risk of a ban.

I agree with your opinion, when we change proxy it is easy for abnormal phenomenon to occur

I agree with your opinion

What do you mean by the sudden change in IP? Even if the sellers provide a proxy with the account, you will ultimately have to change the proxy to your own.

Sometimes, using flagged or low-quality proxies, along with mismatched device fingerprints or time zones, can also contribute to account suspension.

Sudden IP address change - Most of the time, this issue occurs when you set IP auto rotation on a small time interval (4, 5 or so minutes) and it rotates while you're still logged into the account. This is a red flag. That's why I highly recommend manualy rotation, through API link - you have 100% control over it.
