Hey everyone, so I’m a bit new to proxies and I’m trying to learn as much as I can. I want to get into scraping and using proxies for social media, I was wondering if anyone can tell me a bit about the whole proxies per account thing. I’ve been hearing that term a lot and I assume its like… assigning proxies to accounts. How many proxies do you guys use for each account? Online is all over the place I’ve seen a 1:1 or five accounts to a proxy, was hoping to get a more definitive answer to it all. Any help would be highly appreciated.
It really depends on a lot of factors. But assuming you have perfect automation, that’s impossible to detect and leaves zero footprints, you would only need 1 proxy for any account you want to run at a time.
You can actually access and manage hundreds of accounts on a single proxy, but they must only be accessed one at a time, and you need to change the IP after every account switch. Of course, this is easier said than done, and I’ve never seen a piece of software that can implement it correctly.
So the number of accounts you can run per proxy is technically the number of accounts you want to be running/accessing in parallel at the same time. If you can schedule your actions/processes to run sequentially on each account, then the only limit is the amount of time it takes to run each action and switch the account.
