Proxies for running several social accounts
Run ten client accounts from one office and all ten share a single IP. To the platform, that looks like one person holding ten accounts. A dedicated proxy per account gives each one its own footprint.
Which proxy is best for managing social media accounts?
For running several social accounts, give each one its own sticky residential or mobile proxy, located in that account owner's country. Each account then logs in from the same local IP every day, which is how a genuine user looks to the platform.
An address per account
Put a session label in the username and reserve that label for a single account. It then returns from the same IP, in the same country, every time, just as its owner would.
Mobile for phone-first apps
Apps used mainly on phones are full of carrier traffic, and a mobile proxy blends right in. Residential costs less and covers most desktop work.
Keep the browser consistent
A proxy only changes the IP. Give each account its own browser profile, with a time zone and language that fit the proxy's country.
Follow the platform's rules
Looking after real accounts for real clients is normal agency work. Fake engagement, mass sign-ups and coordinated fake activity break every platform's terms, and ours.
Recommended proxy types
Setting it up in four steps
- Order the smallest Residential plan (one gigabyte) as a trial. Pay with crypto and it is delivered automatically.
- Take the host
resi.proxies.boo, port8080, and your username and password from the plan page. - Set the exit country with a code in the username, like
USERNAME-country-us. - Point the job at your real target. Working? Top up the same plan. Blocked? Move to the next proxy type listed above.

Social media management: common questions
Can a few accounts share a proxy?
Better not. A shared IP ties the accounts together. Give every account its own session label, and so its own address.
Should the proxy sit in the owner's country?
Yes. An account that always logged in from one country and suddenly shows up in another gets asked to verify itself. Keep the country, and ideally the city, the same.
