Lead generation: proxy guides

Outreach and prospecting tools act on an account. What the account needs from a proxy is steadiness: the same IP address, in the same country, every day. These guides show which tools take a proxy of their own and which simply use your browser's connection.

• PhantomBuster

  PhantomBuster runs ready-made automations, called Phantoms, in the cloud. Because they do not run on your computer, they do not use your IP address unless you give them a proxy.

• HeyReach

  HeyReach is a LinkedIn outreach platform for running many sender accounts. Each connected account can be given a custom proxy.

• TexAu

  TexAu automates prospecting and data collection on LinkedIn and other platforms. Proxies are added once to the workspace and then used by its automations.

• Linked Helper

  Linked Helper is a desktop program for LinkedIn outreach. It runs on your computer and can open each LinkedIn account through its own proxy.

• Dux-Soup

  Dux-Soup is a browser extension that automates LinkedIn visits, connection requests and messages from your own browser.

• Waalaxy

  Waalaxy automates LinkedIn and email outreach. It started as a Chrome extension that works through your own browser session.

• Octopus CRM

  Octopus CRM is a Chrome extension for LinkedIn outreach: connection requests, messages and simple funnels, run from your browser.

• Salesforge

  Salesforge is an outreach platform for email and LinkedIn. When you connect a LinkedIn account, it can use a proxy that you supply.

• Lead Generation Tools: Which Ones Take a Proxy

  Lead generation and LinkedIn outreach tools sorted by how they connect: those with their own proxy setting, browser extensions, and closed cloud tools.

Proxy types these guides use

• ResidentialHousehold IPs you can aim at a country, a state or one city. From $3.52 per GB.
• MobileCarrier IPs on live 4G and 5G networks, the most trusted kind. From $3.52 per GB.

Rotating or sticky?

An account should come from one IP address in one country, day after day. Use a sticky session per account and keep its session ID for that account only. Do not rotate on every request with your tool: a session that jumps between addresses is the first thing a platform notices.

Terms explained: sticky session, session ID, residential proxy, mobile proxy.
