Step 4 | Proxy and VPN - General Information

A proxy server is an intermediary between your device and the Internet. When you connect to a site through a proxy, it hides your real IP address and forwards requests on your behalf.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ARTICLE, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND IT, ONCE AND FOR ALL. We have tried not to burden you with complex terminology.

What is a proxy and why is it needed in human language

A proxy is like an intermediary between you and the Internet. When you visit a website, it sees your IP address (a unique number that helps determine your location).

If you use a proxy, the website sees not your real IP, but the IP of the proxy server. It's like asking a friend to go to the store for you, and the seller only knew him, not you.

A proxy is needed to:

Hide your real IP

If you don't want websites to know where you're coming from, a proxy will help hide your real IP. This is useful for anonymity on the Internet.

Bypassing blocking

If a website or service is unavailable in your country, you can use a proxy with a different IP address and go there. For example, if a website only works in the US, you can take an American proxy and easily go there.

Working with multiple accounts

Some websites (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Google) can block you if you log in from multiple accounts with one IP. A proxy solves this problem by giving each account a different IP.

What types of proxies are there?

🔹 Regular (HTTP/HTTPS) – work with websites and browsers, suitable for anonymous surfing.

🔹 SOCKS5 – work with any programs, including games and instant messengers.

🔹 Residential – use real IP addresses of regular users, which makes them less visible to websites.

🔹 Mobile (4G/5G) – give you IP addresses of mobile operators, which helps bypass blocking and website protection.

How to choose a proxy?

✅ If you just need to hide your IP, a regular HTTP proxy will do.

✅ If you need to bypass blocking, residential or mobile proxies are better.

✅ If your work involves advertising, arbitration, or data parsing, choose reliable private or mobile proxies.

What is a VPN and why do people who work with purchased accounts need it?

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a tool that changes your IP address and encrypts your internet traffic, helping to hide your real location.

When working with accounts (for example, Facebook, Google, TikTok), VPN helps protect them from being banned, because the site sees not your real IP, but the IP of the VPN server.

Why use a VPN when working with accounts?

✔ IP address change

When you log into your account from a new IP, the platform may think that this is a hack. VPN helps you connect to the desired region and avoid suspicion.

✔ Bypass blocking

If a service is not available in your country (for example, TikTok, Instagram or Google Ads), VPN will allow you to log in from the IP of another country where it works.

✔ Account protection from anti-fraud systems

If the system notices that one person logs into several accounts from one IP, a ban may occur. VPN provides different IP addresses, reducing the risk of blocking.

✔ Security VPN

encrypts data, so your provider or other people on the network (for example, in a cafe or hotel) will not be able to track which sites you visit.
