Using proxies, but your accounts are still getting banned? βοΈ
One possible cause is a WebRTC leak in your browser that exposes your real IP address.
Other signs of a leak include frequent CAPTCHA challenges, login issues, repeated identity verifications, and payment failures.
β How do you fix it?
Replace WebRTC with your proxy IP in your antidetect browser to reduce ban risk and keep your accounts stable.
Turning off WebRTC is not a solution β it creates a fingerprint anomaly that anti-fraud systems can easily detect.
Need help checking your WebRTC?
