Where to buy a proxy?

[adw0rd]

I usually buy here webshare.io (accept Visa/Mastercard), proxy-seller.com, soax.com (accept Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, BTC via support chat) and Proxy6 (BTC, LTC, WMZ, Payeer, RUB)

If one was to create his own 4g proxy farm...would that be a lesser expensive option?

Also on a side note, is it safe to use datacenters proxy as they are cheaper to integrate? I was paying approximately 3 bucks per 1 mill requests when I was doing Reddit Automation.

You need to try, Instagram is more focused on the number of requests than on the type of proxy. It is best to use unique (dedicated) proxies

Why would you use a proxy?
What's the advantage?

Can't you just use one account and keep it logged in forever?

Foi 1 account 1 proxy is good, but if you have 1.000, or if u want make public requests?

I think this is an answer to the "The username you entered doesn't appear to belong to an account".

What product should I be looking at?

[glmontano]

Although, using a proxy doesn't resolve instagrapi.exceptions.UnknownError: The username you entered doesn't appear to belong to an account. Please check your username and try again. Confirming that the account does exist.

Using a proxy solves the problem, you just need to find a good proxy, and I can't know which one, you have to try

If you do not agree, then suggest a different solution to the problem

@adw0rd Could you provide guidance on the recommended number of accounts to be used per proxy/IP address to avoid being blocked?

[adw0rd]

I use 8 accounts on one proxy address

I use 8 accounts on one proxy address

Thanks,
It means that if we use more than 8 accounts on a single proxy address, there is a chance of getting blocked.
