What is a Proxy?

A Proxy is like a middleman between your computer and the websites you visit. Imagine you’re trying to send a letter, but instead of mailing it directly, you give it to a courier who delivers it on your behalf. That courier represents the proxy.

Why Use a Proxy?

• Hides Your Identity: Your IP address (like your computer’s digital home address) is replaced with the proxy server's IP address. This keeps your real location hidden.
• Avoids LinkedIn Restrictions: If LinkedIn sees one IP address using multiple accounts, they might flag it as suspicious. Proxies ensure each account looks like it’s coming from a different place.
• Supports Multiple Accounts: You can assign a unique proxy to each LinkedIn account, making it appear as though each account belongs to a separate user.

How Does a Proxy Work?

When you visit a website, your computer normally sends a request directly to the site. With a proxy, your request goes through the proxy server first, and the proxy forwards it to the website. The website only sees the proxy’s IP address, not yours.

Using Proxies with UltraScrapper

1. Set Up Proxies for LinkedIn Accounts:

   • Each LinkedIn account should have its own proxy. This makes it look like the accounts are being used by different people in different locations.
   • Example: One account might appear to be in New York while another seems to be in Mumbai.

2. Avoid Bans:

   LinkedIn watches for suspicious behavior, like one IP address accessing multiple accounts. Using proxies ensures your activity stays under the radar.

3. Combine Proxies and VPS:

   If you're running UltraScrapper on a VPS, you can configure proxies on the VPS itself or within UltraScrapper. This setup allows you to manage dozens of LinkedIn accounts safely.

Setting Up Proxies

1. Buy Proxies:

   Choose a reliable provider. Look for “residential proxies” for the best results.

2. Assign Proxies to LinkedIn Accounts:

   • In UltraScrapper, go to the settings and find the proxy configuration section.
   • Enter the proxy details (IP, port, username, password) for each LinkedIn account.

3. Test Your Setup:

   Make sure each proxy is working correctly. You can use free online tools to check if your proxies are active and properly routing your traffic.
