Hey guys, looking to get some tips here, trying to setup a few accounts. Have a custom built setup that connects through camoufox, and a premium residential proxying setup. The ip is chosen based on location, not isp. I'm not sure if reddit is detecting isp changes? But so far, the accounts got shadowbanned basically a day after signup with almost no activity on them just a few upvotes.

So it's clear they're not liking something about either the browser or the ip and traffic. I won't name the proxy provider but going to try mobile proxies if that improves the situation. Otherwise I would have to assume something about camoufox is detectable.

Anyone using camoufox successfully, i'm reading a bit that some people are. So perhaps premium residential is just DOA for reddit and mobile is basically necessary?

You shouldn't be commeting for at least 4-5 days whilst your warm these.
Brand new accounts are essentially useless for all but the smallest subreddits these days.
Larger the subreddit = more karma, age and history required to get comments/posts published.
 
Actually one I just liked a few posts, no comment, i'm reading another post that's talking about building up a cookie profile and trying to signup after coming in from google a couple of times to make it seem more organic. This is all very helpful advice, thank you everyone!

I think my concern is something about the proxy provider or other parts of the setup. I want to get it working with cheap throwaway accounts to make sure the activity is undetectable. I could try other browsers but since we've integrated camoufox with a custom automation setup, we're trying to bot the entire process in a human-like fashion, so I'm trying to test this setup

Test your footprint with the likes of PixelScan.net.

If it shows consistent butbasic issues persist shortly after signup, you can try a different proxy provider.

It's also never a bad idea to spot-check IP's sometimes against blacklist/spam databases.

Thank you,

Did extremely extensive testing with all of the various sources, including creepjs, browserscan, and several others. Everything looked A-OK, except creepjs doesn't keep a completely consistent fingerprint, but that's relatively normal from what I understand. As for all of the major information, it's all consistent. No one reports any canvas fingerprint spoofing, proxies are checked every boot for any databases etc. So i'm not sure what the issue is but perhaps it's just the behavioral pattern that caused the issue. Or the isp changing could be a trigger, in which case we'll lock it down further to same target city and same target isp per session and try that. There's only a few things to test at this point but it's very possible ISP does need to be consistent and that's really the beauty of mobile proxies that they don't have that issue.

What about emails for registration? Are you using throwaways or real accounts (gmail, domain, etc)?

First farm cookies, with captcha V3 you must have some previous activity on your browser .
Also go slowly coz the warmup process determines if your account is gonna last or is gonna get shadowbanned soon.
Then try to act as a normal person not a bot.

Sorry for my English ..not first language

All gmail

I guess I can try purchasing the account but I figure it's kind of a waste if my setup is getting flagged so easily. I think I'll give mobile proxies a go but considering how slow these residential proxies are, i'm worried about how slow mobile proxies will be. Also this is a desktop browser so I feel it's an easy flag if there's a desktop connected through a mobile proxy. These days with some people having home internet through mobile modems perhaps it's not a big deal.

I personally use residential rotating proxies.
Work extremely well for us. Observe the masses; do the opposite.

No issues since we started in December last year until now (with the exception of a ban once in a blue moon).

I also recommend residential proxies coz you can easily rotate. And can use them even for multiple accounts karma farming

I had the same issue until I switched to mobile proxies, Reddit loves mobile IPs.

This is true, avoid rotating residential proxies because they cannot guarantee you a minimum rotating period per IP address. Even if the residential proxy is high quality it might rotate mid session and this will cause a ban 90% of the time.

It's also very important to use the most updated version of your browser. If your browser version falls back more than one major update your accounts will likely get banned. That's the main issue with anti-detect browsers and Reddit at the current moment.
 
Yes that might be why I’ll just move to mobile proxies, I don’t want a static IP, and even a hard session changes IP pretty quickly. Everyone is getting tunneling from hola apparently so they can’t really guarantee a session time. Otherwise it’s so expensive it’s just not cost effective either. Thanks everyone, I’m going to report on how mobile works out shortly.
