If you're using the Boostfluence app to boost your instagram, a tutorial on how to add have a proxy and available.

The popular social network Instagram doesn't encourage overly active accounts that like or follow en masse, and may also not approve of managing more than four accounts using a single IP address. A proxy helps manage all this.

Boostfluence recently encountered a serious problem: some users were complaining about the poor performance of certain options such as Auto Like and Auto Follow. We know how discouraging this can be. So we suggest configuring your insta proxy server to ensure better long-term performance of your instagram bot. You can purchase quality proxies below.

Why do we need a proxy?

Instagram tracks all IP addresses used when performing manual actions or using a automation tool (Boostfluence).

An Instagram proxy will prevent your account from being restricted, it ensures your account's security by allocating you a personal IP and the proper functioning of its automation.

How does a proxy work on instagram?

{{INTERN}}

Instagram proxies are clean, dedicated IP addresses that'a provider assigns to connect to Instagram accounts.

In general, proxies are servers designed to mask users'real IP addresses, locations and connections by transferring that user's Internet connection via a proxy server. Websites accessed in this way will only see the IP addresses of the proxy server and think that a user is at the location indicated by the proxy's IP address.

how proxy works

When proxy servers are used to connect to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts, social networks will only see the IP address of the proxy server, but not the real IP address or location of the user from which these accounts are connected. A single user using multiple proxy servers can connect to multiple Instagram accounts in this way, and the site considers the connections to be different.

4) Generate your 1st proxy

We recommended the following formatting: username:password@hostname:port

In our case, we selected a French proxy. However, if your instagram account isn't used in France, choose the country in which it is most used.

Note that the password isn't just a random string of characters, it can change depending on the configuration you have. In our case, the password is "password_country-France_session-d24205" and our username is "username".

5) Copy paste the entire proxy adding the "http" when connecting to Boostfluence

Your proxy will look something similar to this: http://username:password_country-France_session-d24205@proxy.oceanproxy:31112

How many instagram accounts can be connected on 1 proxy?

This requires very little management. We just recommend that you "refresh" them every month to ensure the automation is working properly (Highproxies lets you do this once a month).
