I need to run 10 different bots that connect to social media and post (using puppeteer)- at first each bot just post on pinterest an then I'll add more social networks.
I'm proficient at programing but kind of a noob at privacy and not being detected and stuff like that - so maybe I'm missing something.

Option 1 : running those bots from my local machine and using tools like multilogin and vpns to create the illusion of 10 different machines.
Option 2 : paying for 10 different virtual machines and on each of them using the local chrome with the 'userDataDir' option inside puppeteer so that I won't even have to login and the login with google will be used.

Thanks for any input and advice.
 
I'd prefer to run them locally, used to run them locally even when I had only a 512kbps connection. Now with minimum connection speeds being like 300Mbps I don't see why bother with VMs at all.
 
Hey @Paranoid Android Thanks for your replay :)
Any tips on what tools to use?
Multilogin was mentioned a few times in the forum for virtual browser profiles.
What vpn service would be good and will give me bang for the buck ?

First of all, you can't have 10 VPN connections at once. A VPN connection is established at a system level and you can do only one active connection at a time.

If you want 10 bots to use 10 IPs at once, you need proxies instead of VPN.

Plus, multilogin allows proxy connections, not VPN ones ;)


Option 2 : paying for 10 different virtual machines and on each of them using the local chrome with the 'userDataDir' option inside puppeteer so that I won't even have to login and the login with google will be used.

such a setup will become quite expensive and hard to manage (just think of connection and disconnecting RDPs every time you want to check something).

But, you can get a VPS and have installed multilogin there.
 
hey @HydraProxy I meant that the bots will run one after another, no need for them to run in parallel.
And like I said I'm quite the noob when it comes to the privacy stuff so if you have an article that explains it or if you have some recommendation for me I'll be happy to hear ;)
 
@Paranoid Android Thanks for taking the time to answer me :) the tips I'm getting from the friends here are priceless
Wow that's looks very cool so with multi account containers for firefox I don't need to use multilogin, puppeteer works well with firefox?
About proxy for containers can you please put a link that explaines that? is it different from regular proxy?
 
Yeah dude @Paranoid Android I'm all about self educating but I just wish I had like an tutorial or something like that :(
But thanks anyway I really appreciate your input mate :)
