The Dirty Instagram Proxy Sellers Business

So recently, I have discovered that BlazzingSEO re-resell their Instagram Proxies. Comparing a few IPs sets with friends we have found multiple proxies duplicated in our lists ( aka they sold these proxies twice ). This probably not new to some people, and happened in the past with a few other proxy companies. What are your ( community ) thoughts about this? We all know that in 70% ( probably ) of the cases this won't happen but still makes me think they have been doing this for a long time.

- Did you compare your sets with your fellow friends to check for re-reselled proxies?
- Could this be one of the reasons that we are getting blocked left and right because proxy providers have been ripping of users re-reselling their proxies to multiple persons?

Let me save you some trouble mate.
STOP using popular proxy providers unless it's for 4G proxies. All of them have flagged IPs and are abused to death.

They wouldn't be good even couple of months ago when IG was stable and not to mention now with all of its new updates.

Those proxy providers point to the same datacenter. I'm sure IG should deter a datacenter proxy by now after that mass ban holocaust.

Its hard to find good dedicated proxies now.

Reason being why I only stick with metered proxies.

More expensive? yes.

But for me it is worth the expense then to be playing cat and mouse with proxy vendors.

Large high quality IP Pools with a lot less users.

Think about this, if everyone can easily by proxies at $0.50 or whatever it may be, how many people you think are going to used those services?

They will be abused by the masses, and those who run the IP's will not worry about getting banned/spamming, doing abusive things, because the proxy is damn cheap.

Vs.

Using a provider that has a $500 minimum monthly commitment, You think a lot of new inexperienced users will sign up for the service so easily? It has a lot less chance of being flagged/abused as the people who use these services know what they are doing, and do not abuse them. Many of these vendors do not like for them to be abused, and will limit your access if they see you running bulk account scripts and flagging a large range of subnets.

Why be a part of a service that is common to internet marketer? and is so easily available to everyone. You want to find those services that are exclusive and demand a premium.

Just my $0.02

Everyone keeps talking about using 4g, but its hard to find a good one. I only need to use it for client accounts on Jarvee. All got action blocked on BlazingSEO ipv4.

No. Its not proxy issue now. Use various proxy and you will see

I'm using 4G proxies set on dongles from provider which I know in personal and which sells private.
Main problem for you guys that you still use server and cheap proxies which is more then easy to detect as not usual connection.

Have you been action blocked? And how could someone start doing this process?

Sad to hear that BlazingSEO is doing this. I always viewed them as one of the more reputable proxy sellers and have been using their services for years.

Same here. They have great support as well, but recently had all client accounts action blocked on safe F/UF and all are on blazingseo. Have you found any reliable alternatives?

This thing is very common, in this business, more or less they do it, so I give up buying the ips...

Now what is the solution?!!
From where to buy proxies!!!!?

Firstly, such thing as "Instagram proxies" is just a marketing approach.

Secondly, I don't think the recent issues regarding IG are because of proxies. It's probably a whole package of things including bot itself that you're using, amount of actions, how was your account created, previous botting history(actions). Looks like they take into account much more things than proxies.

But hey! there is a papa! who will take care of all those problems...!

Have you tried socks from vip72, i think you will manage just fine for instagram.

Well let me say this as a proxy seller myself. What I do when I get inquiries, I always ask "What do you need the proxies for". The reason for that question is simple. You can pair two or more people on one device (separate ports) provided they are accessing different website services. So, client A says he wants to do Google Ads, client B says he wants to use Instagram and client C says he wants to do Wechat. I can pair these three on one device without any of them suffering for it. Mind you, they will consume 3 times the data of one person so its not necessarily any cheaper except if you are lucky, one or two of these clients are not excessive users. That's what I expect responsible sellers should do. But if a client wants to play a fast one and lies about intended usage, he is only shooting himself (and unfortunately, possibly one other person) in the foot. Before long, I find out anyway, as the logs will tell where they've all been going.

Lately, for my Instagram proxy clients, I have told those who make inquiries straight up that people who tested prior to them for Instagram use were not so happy so my ips may not be so good anymore for Instagram (though I still use them to create Instagram accounts and they still work well for several other website services). Some of them still insist on a test, even with my paid trial requirement. Guess it goes to show the level of desperation today to find good proxies...That's why I am now encouraging my software clients to make their own 4G proxies rather than looking for proxies all over the place. It helps my bot do better because clients are using their natural ips. Except your scale is so large, you should make your own proxies. If you are a large scale proxy user, then you have to go to the big expensive proxy companies that charge up to $250, $500 minimum commitment. Its a business cost and you should see it as such!

Give me some good news please. We all know that 4G proxies are great as well residential ones. But its not scallable if you manage a ton of accounts. So you didnt really got my point here. Just like @Brickbat1 mentioned there are "home made" solutions that works pretty well, tho they are not that scalable. Thats why people still rely on ipv4 DC proxies besides the providers are ripping us off.

@Papaproxy - True that as well, proxies are NOT the only reason but they do play a BIG role.
