Using proxies, but your accounts are still getting banned? ⛔️

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.

βœ… 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 – it creates a fingerprint anomaly that anti-fraud systems can easily detect.

Proxy vs VPN: what’s the difference?
Both tools change your IP address, but that’s where the similarity ends.

A VPN is not designed for large-scale requests, automation or data collection. For websites, this traffic is easy to distinguish from traffic generated by real users.

VPN:
β€’ hides your IP (system level)
β€’ encrypts all traffic by default
β€’ protects all apps at once
β€’ suitable for personal privacy and public Wi-Fi
β€’ not intended for automation or data scraping

Proxies are built to simulate real user behavior in scraping, monitoring, testing and marketing tasks.

Proxies:
β€’ change IP selectively (per browser or application)
β€’ encryption can be configured per use case
β€’ do not affect system-wide traffic
β€’ suitable for business, scraping and testing
β€’ support advanced configurations

If it’s important that a website sees a human, not a bot:

Astro + Proxifier are typically used when an application does not support proxy settings natively.

In Proxifier, proxy routing can be configured:
β–ͺ️ for all system traffic;
β–ͺ️ only for specific applications using Proxification Rules.

For proper operation, DNS resolution must be routed through the proxy. Otherwise, DNS requests may bypass the proxy, leading to DNS leaks, incorrect traffic routing, or IP mismatches.

Contact our support team – we will credit $3 to your balance for proxy testing and help you configure Proxifier correctly.

We have also prepared a step-by-step guide for setting up Proxifier

Running Reddit without proxies?

If you manage multiple Reddit accounts, collect data, or run ads from a single IP – you’re on borrowed time. Reddit actively tracks IP behavior, device fingerprints, and traffic patterns.

One mistake, and everything gets flagged.

πŸ˜„ How to work with Reddit safely – 4 rules:

1. Use dedicated or rotating residential proxies;
2. Assign 1 proxy = 1 account for multi-accounting;
3. Rotate IPs naturally to mimic real user behavior;
4. Avoid datacenter proxies – Reddit blocks them aggressively.

⚠️ Free and low-quality proxies usually mean shared, abused IPs with a long ban history. Reddit detects them fast – and bans faster.

Bypass Reddit’s defensive algorithms with Astro proxies:
πŸ”Έ99.9% uptime;
πŸ”ΈSupport antidetect browsers and automation tools;
πŸ”ΈCity-level geo-targeting;
πŸ”ΈObtained and maintained in compliance with KYC standards.

Using free proxies?

In that case, you have no control over whose device your traffic is passing through. Free proxies are often hacked servers, open routers, or infected computers that are accessible to an unlimited number of people. You’re using an IP with an unknown history and sharing it with others.

What are the risks of using free proxies:
🚩 interception of cookies and session data;
🚩 compromise of logins, passwords, and payment information;
🚩 unstable speeds and frequent connection drops;
🚩 mass bans of IPs and accounts.

How to avoid data leaks and blocks?
For secure and confidential work, choose trusted proxies sourced ethically with users’ consent.

➑️ The Astro pool features 50 million IPs from real users, sourced in full compliance with KYC and AML policies. This approach ensures stable performance and significantly reduces the risk of account blocks.
