When you manage multiple accounts, run automation or test DMs and Explore, heavy traffic from a single IP drives your account's trust score down and raises the risk of an action block. With our residential and mobile proxy pools, keep every account on its own fixed identity.
4G and 5G infrastructure. Mobile proxies are real 4G/5G IPs behind carrier NAT. They look most natural on mobile-first targets such as apps and ad verification.
A mobile IP is a real IP that exits through a mobile carrier's 4G/5G network; because it sits behind carrier NAT and is shared with thousands of other users, target sites trust it the most.
Real user IPs. Residential IPs come from real devices and ISP lines. Target sites treat them like ordinary user traffic — strong for verification and geo accuracy. Pick any city across thousands of subnets worldwide and exit from real IPs.
Carrier-grade quality. ISP proxies ride real internet-service-provider infrastructure. Dedicated, high-quality, high-reputation IPs keep long sessions stable for the full term you buy, so corporate targets run more reliably.
Built for volume. Datacenter proxies come from data centers designed for high bandwidth and low latency. They stand out for bulk requests, crawling, and automation.
An Instagram proxy is a proxy that gives your Instagram traffic its own clean, trusted IP identity. That matters because, when it comes to account security, Instagram leans on IP reputation more heavily than most other platforms; that value is called a trust score. When a burst of follows, likes, DMs or login attempts arrives from the same IP in a short window, the platform flags it as botnet or spam behavior and answers with an action block, a temporary restriction or outright account suspension.
Multi-account management carries one particular risk for agencies and social media teams: different accounts sharing the same IP — Instagram ties those accounts together and can penalize the whole group over a single violation. Keeping each account on its own fixed sticky proxy identity severs that connection, so the accounts run completely isolated from one another.
DM automation, Explore tab testing and regional content verification make it just as critical to exit from a genuine mobile carrier or home user line; requests made over datacenter IPs are spotted and throttled by Instagram in short order. That is why, for Instagram traffic, residential proxy or mobile proxy pools deliver a far higher success rate than the datacenter alternatives.
Alongside these Instagram-specific needs, for a broader look at the challenges every social media platform shares — rate limit overruns, geo-restricted content and general bot detection — take a look at our Social Media Proxy page.
When you switch to a new proxy IP, starting slow for the first few days pays off. If you push an account hard with a ton of follows, likes, or DMs right away, Instagram sees that as more suspicious since the IP is new and unrecognized. Browsing normally for the first few days and gradually picking up the pace puts far less risk on the account.
If you manage more than one account, giving each its own dedicated IP is the safest approach. When accounts share an IP, Instagram links them together — an issue on one can affect the others.
Using a mobile or residential IP looks much more natural than a datacenter one — that difference really matters for things like DM automation or testing the Explore tab.
Rated 4.4 out of 5 — "Excellent" on Trustpilot.
When you take the quality of the proxies they sell together with pre-sales and after-sales support, I can say they are among the best on the market. I want to work with them for a long time — thank you.

I was using a proxy from another company and could not get support. I was already registered on proxynet.io before buying; when a customer-service email arrived on Saturday I decided to try. So far I can say their fast replies and problem-solving approach really impressed me.Read on Trustpilot

Technical support is fast. I was very happy with the ISP proxies; you could make prices a bit more affordable, mobile is unfortunately expensive, but ISP speeds and subnet quality are solid.Read on Trustpilot

When your trust score falls, Instagram applies an action block to the account: following, liking, commenting or sending DMs is restricted for a set period, and repeated violations can get the account suspended. Trust score depends largely on IP reputation — it drops when a large number of accounts, or requests at an abnormal rate, come from the same IP. Using a residential or mobile proxy protects that score by letting you connect from a genuine user line under a single, consistent identity.
Instagram can link separate accounts to one another using signals such as device fingerprint and IP address. Accounts that log in from the same IP are treated as belonging to a single user, and a violation by one can affect the others. By assigning every account its own fixed sticky proxy IP, you isolate them from each other completely at the network level.
Sending DMs is one of the behaviors Instagram monitors most closely, so residential or mobile IPs with a high trust score are the ones to use. The session also has to stay on the same IP throughout a DM flow, which means sticky proxy mode; rotating mode, which changes IP on every request, pushes the trust score down faster in DM automation.
The Explore tab and recommended content are personalized to the account's location and to the trend data for that region. To see the real user experience in different markets, you need a residential or mobile IP that exits in that country; the content served over a VPN or a datacenter IP can differ from what genuine local users are shown.
Instagram weighs several signals together: request rate, whether the IP is classed as datacenter, residential or mobile, how many accounts come from the same IP, and behavioral patterns such as following or liking far too quickly. Using a residential or mobile IP with a high trust score, sending requests at a pace close to human behavior and keeping a separate sticky session for every account reduce the risk of a block considerably.
You simply enter your host:port and username:password details into your tool's proxy settings over HTTPS or SOCKS5. In the panel you can append country, city or sticky/rotating parameters to the username to build a different fixed identity for each account; there is no extra proxy list or rotation logic to manage on the tool's side.
Both carry a high trust score, but because mobile proxies are carrier-level shared (CGNAT) IPs, they look even more like ordinary user traffic to Instagram and are generally preferred for the most sensitive accounts — aggressive automation or high-risk operations. Residential proxies offer wider geographic choice at a generally lower cost and give most use cases all the protection they need.
Once the restriction has been applied to the account, changing proxies alone will not lift it; you have to wait out the period Instagram has set. Continuing to use the same low-reputation IP during the restriction can make matters worse, though — at that point, moving to a clean residential or mobile IP and reducing your request volume speeds up the account's return to normal.
