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.

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

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

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

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

In Proxifier, proxy routing can be configured:
▪️ for all system traffic;
▪️ 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

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.

➡️ 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.

AI Content Monitoring: A Key Growth Driver for Business

ChatGPT, Claude and other LLMs generate responses that mention brands, services and products. Users base their decisions on these AI-generated answers.

Using proxies allows you to analyze AI outputs by:
▪️ monitoring how ChatGPT and other LLMs answer your core commercial keywords (features, pricing, alternatives, use cases);
▪️ tracking brand visibility and share of voice in AI responses vs. key competitors;
▪️ benchmarking messaging, recommendations and sentiment across models and prompts (and over time);
▪️ and most importantly, checking how responses vary by region.

Different regions mean different data sources, priorities and contextual signals.

If you operate in multiple countries or plan to enter a new market, it’s essential to understand what users in the U.S., Europe or Asia actually “see” in AI responses.

🔄 Astro infrastructure provides stable IP rotation for large-scale queries to ChatGPT and other LLMs, minimizing the risk of account blocks.

Social platforms are becoming increasingly strict about multi-accounting

Algorithms analyze not only user behavior, but the full digital fingerprint: IP address, geolocation, device parameters, timing patterns and network overlaps between profiles.

This is especially critical for:
🚩 TikTok – aggressive anti-fraud systems and rapid suspensions;
🚩 X/Twitter – detection of network links between accounts;
🚩 Web3 platforms – strict uniqueness verification;
🚩 Local social networks targeting national markets, such as China’s Weibo.

When multiple accounts log in from the same IP, platforms classify them as a coordinated network. Even well-managed profiles can face shadow bans or permanent restrictions.

What helps reduce the risk of bans:
• a dedicated IP address per account;
• stable login geolocation (one region = one profile);
• residential or mobile proxies with high connection stability and controlled IP rotation.

✅ As a result:
Each profile appears as a distinct, location-consistent user with a unique network footprint.

Crypto and DeFi continue to evolve. Testnets, retroactive drops and airdrop programs have become a structured workflow where not only on-chain activity matters, but also a reliable connection infrastructure.

Web3 platforms analyze IP addresses, geolocation and network overlaps between wallets and accounts within the same protocol.

⚠️ If multiple wallets operate from a single IP, anti-fraud systems may classify them as affiliated.

⛔️ This can limit participation in testnets, reduce eligibility for airdrops and even lead to wallet restrictions or functionality limitations.

To minimize the risk of being blocked and safely scale multi-wallet operations, assign a unique IP to each wallet.

With Astro infrastructure, you can solve this by leveraging:
🔹 50M IPs across 150 countries;
🔹 residential and mobile proxies;
🔹 flexible IP rotation;
🔹 stable connections with 99.9% uptime.

We’ll help you choose the right proxy setup for your DeFi and airdrop strategy

🌍 In international growth and cross-market operations, one thing remains constant: web experience is GEO-dependent. Website interfaces, SERPs and paid placements vary significantly by user location.

Geo-testing enables validation of digital assets in real regional environments and allows businesses to audit:

▪️ localized website rendering in a specific country or city;
▪️ international SEO configuration: language versions, hreflang implementation and geo-redirect logic;
▪️ regional pricing structures: local currencies, taxes and market-specific offers;
▪️ actual SERP composition for target queries (not global averages);
▪️ paid media delivery: ads, creatives and formats served in the selected region;
▪️ competitive landscape analysis: local rankings, visibility and competitor activity.

While search engines and advertising platforms evaluate a combination of signals – including IP reputation, ASN/ISP attribution, geolocation accuracy, network stability and behavioral signals
– VPNs and standard checks often generate traffic profiles that do not reflect real local user behavior.

‼️ As a result, companies may optimize SEO strategies and advertising campaigns based on biased SERPs, inaccurate ad delivery data and distorted market insights.

Astro provides access to residential and mobile IPs across 150 countries, ensuring high connection stability and precise GEO targeting. This enables geo-testing conditions that closely replicate authentic user traffic.

Why do professionals use residential proxies for Google Ads?

Google Ads analyzes your entire network environment: your IP address, its origin and how natural your connection looks.

That’s where residential proxies make the difference.

Residential IP addresses are linked to real homes (Wi-Fi, cable, fiber):
🔷 Look like genuine user traffic;
🔷 Build higher trust with advertising platform;
🔷 Belong to real ISP networks.

→ This significantly reduces risk signals in Google’s fraud-detection systems.

With Astro residential proxies, you’ll:
🔹 Access to residential IPs collected from real users;
🔹 Controlled IP rotation – on a timer / a new IP for each new connection / manual IP rotation;
🔹 Stable connections for managing ad accounts.

We continue our series on proxies for Google Ads. Which infrastructure is more suitable: datacenter or mobile?

Google Ads applies advanced traffic quality and risk assessment systems that analyze IP reputation, ASN classification and behavioral patterns. Connections that replicate authentic end-user activity receive significantly fewer risk signals.

👍 Mobile proxies are well-suited for this purpose.
They operate through 4G/5G networks and appear as traffic from real smartphone users. Such IPs change dynamically and raise fewer suspicions within the platform.

⚠️ A questionable choice for Google Ads is datacenter proxies.
They belong to hosting providers and are easily recognized as server infrastructure, which more often leads to account restrictions or suspensions.

💡 Best practice:
Mitigate account-level risk by combining proxies with a dedicated browser profile (one profile per ad account) to ensure consistent fingerprint isolation.

With Astro proxies, you’ll:
• 50M IPs across 150 countries;
• High-trust residential and mobile proxies optimized for Google Ads workflows;
• Granular geo-targeting (country → city → internet provider);
• Flexible IP rotation (timer-based, per-connection, manual) and 99.9% uptime.
