Hello everyone.

I need help finding a VPN (or something else) that will let me take surveys on Prolific.
I have had a Prolific account for years and it is still active. Back when I got it, I signed up as being in the US to get as many surveys as possible.
At first, I used CyberGhost and they detected it. They put my account on hold until I explained that I used a VPN for security purposes.
They let me start taking surveys again but something changed like six months after that.
Since then, no matter what VPN I use it just does not work.
I get a message saying I must be on Holiday outside of the country on my account and I can't take any surveys.

I am out of work right now and could really use what little money I can get out of those surveys for food.
Please, help if you can.
 
Buy Residential Proxy, if you get some cash from the site, if not try private proxies
 
You can't use a VPN, you need to use rotating residential proxies. Find an affordable provider that allows you to test for a low price

Why would a residential proxy need to rotate? Isn't it better to just buy a residential IP? ( I know, it's hard to find a clean one, but Prolific isn't exactly Amazon or eBay, so it's rather likely that IP will be "fresh")

Rotating residential proxies give you access to millions of IP's and you just pay for the data you use. Static ISP proxies are dedicated, so you pay per IP. If you're wanting to complete the same survey multiple times then this can get pricey

I mean, aren't they supposed to get suspicious, when the same account gets hundreds of IPs? Let's say I run an account on my computer - as a regular person, I will have one IP and that's it. Forever. Versus an account which constantly changes IPs(and IP location)?

Yes, you're right. If you're only running one account, you'll want one that doesn't change. I was under the impression you had a lot of accounts that you wanted to run at the same time

Yes, absolutely! But every single account should stay on the same IP, no? What's confusing me is the rotating bit - if they rotate, then how do I make sure, every account has it' own IP?
