How accounts get linked
Every major platform builds a graph of which accounts share signals. IP address is the strongest and cheapest edge in that graph — stronger than device fingerprint, because a fingerprint can be spoofed and an address is infrastructure.
The practical consequence is unforgiving: when one account in a cluster is actioned, the others are examined. People discover this the day a whole set disappears together, having assumed that separate browsers meant separate identities.
Which address for which job
| What you are doing | Address type | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Managing an established account | Sticky residential, same country as the account | Logging in from a new country is the classic re-verification trigger |
| Research, monitoring, listening | Rotating residential | No state to keep, and rotation avoids rate limits |
| Ad account and seller account access | One consistent address per account | These are the accounts worth money; consistency beats everything |
| Public content collection | Rotating residential | Volume work, expendable sessions |
The mistakes that cost accounts
- Sharing one address across profiles. The single most common cause of a whole set going down together.
- Jumping countries between logins. Yesterday Warsaw, today São Paulo, on an account that has never travelled — that is a stolen-credentials pattern and gets treated as one.
- Rotating mid-session. An address change between two requests of the same session looks like a hijacked cookie. Use sticky wherever a session exists.
- Mismatched locale. A Polish address with an English-United-States browser and a New York timezone is three answers to the same question that do not agree.
Where the browser fits in
An antidetect browser isolates the device side — canvas, fonts, timezone, user agent — and a proxy isolates the network side. Neither is sufficient alone, and the network side is the one platforms weigh most heavily. Our antidetect browser guide covers the setup fields for AdsPower, Dolphin Anty, GoLogin and the rest.
Common questions
How many accounts can share one proxy?
For anything you would mind losing: one. Platforms correlate accounts by IP, so a shared address links profiles regardless of how well the browser fingerprints are isolated.
Rotating or sticky for social media?
Sticky, or a static address, for anything that has to be the same person tomorrow. Rotating is for research and monitoring, where there is no session state to protect.
Will a proxy stop my account being banned?
No. It removes one specific cause — being linked to other accounts by address, and logging in from implausible places. Behaviour, content and account history are separate matters entirely.
Do I need a proxy in the same country as the account?
Strongly preferred. An account that has always logged in from one country and suddenly appears in another is the pattern platforms watch for most closely.
Try it before you pay for it
Connect Telegram and we credit 1 GB to your account — enough to measure your own traffic use on your own targets rather than trusting the numbers above. After that it is $0.70–$2.00 per gigabyte depending on volume, traffic never expires, and there is no monthly fee.
