okay, i was about to give up on automating social accounts because everything kept getting banned instantly. turns out everyone overcomplicates this. you don't need a "stealth browser" or an anti-detect suite that costs more than your rent. i just spent three weeks testing a barebones setup with mobile proxies from a specific asia-pacific provider. one dedicated mobile ip per account. no rotation, no backconnect nonsense. the trick is binding each profile in something basic like undetected-chromedriver to its own proxy at the os level using proxifier, then running your selenium scripts through that. it's what we did back in the day before all these bloated tools existed. my numbers: 5 instagram accounts, posting twice daily and following 100 targets per day each, zero bans for 21 days now. cost? $15 per month per proxy. not bad compared to the $500/month platform that still got me flagged last year lmao. sometimes going backwards is the real progress
