Accessing Reddit via proxies

How to successfully access Reddit?

To access Reddit with proxies, there are a few points to bear in mind:

• You should consider the type of proxy used alongside the setup tool of choice since some tools could provide more effective measures to increase your connection authenticity.
• Once you gain access to Reddit, it's important to continue behaving as naturally as possible.

Which proxy type should you use?

Residential or Mobile proxies work best, as the main goal is to maintain a human-like connection on Reddit. This is because these proxy IPs come from real, physical devices that provide a genuine online identity.

Which anti-detect browser should you select?

Connecting to proxies with an anti-detect browser can make your connection seem like it's coming from a real device. There are a lot of different anti-detect browsers out there and most of them have specific features that fit a certain use case.

• For instance, some anti-detect browsers offer a more extensive fingerprint management system by allowing you to customize various parameters (screen resolution, user-agent, etc.), toggle JavaScript rendering, and lastly, the ability to import your own cookies.
• Other anti-detect browsers allow for bulk profile creation that can save you time.
• Or, if you're interested in automation, some solutions allow API integration for profile management or a feature that simulates human typing.

We would first suggest using our own X-browser tool as it comes for free if you purchase one of our plans, or you could try any of these anti-detect browsers.

If you test and see that one of the tools is not working for you or doesn't have a feature that you need, then try one of the other anti-detect browsers and see how well it performs or suits your needs.

How to ensure your proxy connection looks as realistic as possible?

Add an extra layer to your connection and appear even more genuine:

• Try targeting a specific city so that your proxies do not jump between vast distances.
• Set a sticky session for at least up to 30 minutes or longer.

As it's unclear what specific anti-bot detection systems target websites implement, it's important to keep in mind that other factors, such as the browser fingerprint or cookies, can come into play in the case you are detected.

IP availability can vary when selecting a smaller location due to the fluctuating IP pool.

How should you act once you do access Reddit?

• Avoid creating Reddit accounts with disposable emails. Gmail is one of the most popular email services you can use, however, this does not exclude it from the possibility of detection (e.g. using a random letter string to name your email). To ensure your email is healthy warm it up manually or use third-party services that do it for you.
• Warm up your Reddit account. This can be done by viewing a variety of content, rather than targeting a specific Reddit thread. With time and engagement (liking, commenting, etc.) you will build a reputation.
• Try not to spam new posts and space them out, or use bots to post them on your Reddit account.

What if you are still unable to reach Reddit?

Reddit can be one of the most challenging websites to reach with proxies due to the strong security measures and anti-detection systems in place. As it's hard to say which specific detection methods are employed, this sometimes can limit the ability to address these issues effectively.

Try playing around with your proxy locations and connection protocols, or swapping to a different proxy type. Finally, we strongly recommend conducting thorough research on how to overcome detection on your end.
