Best Proxies for Reddit Accounts

Which proxies I run every day, which ones burned accounts, and what each action on Reddit actually needs. Ten years of buying and losing accounts, condensed.

The Mistake That Links Your Accounts Together

There’s a mistake a lot of people make when they buy Reddit accounts: as soon as one account gets banned, they open another from the same device. Reddit ties it to the old one immediately. It might not ban it right away, but it flags it — and the account goes down on the first action that matters.

I learned that the hard way, back when Reddit started putting its first filters in place: that was the signal it looked at first.

What I Use

My advice is to use a proxy — below you’ll find reviews of the ones I’m using now — together with an anti-detect browser that emulates a different device.

I strongly advise against VPNs on their own. If you’re going to use one, never without an anti-detect browser and a proxy: by itself a VPN hides none of what Reddit actually looks at.

And proxies and browsers don’t solve it on their own either. They work alongside warming up the account: without that, all you’ve changed is the address — the behaviour is still that of a new account moving in a strange way.

Proxy Types, and What I’ve Tried

I’ve used every type: static, rotating, mobile, residential. And I built my own 4G proxy farm — a thousand dollars in dongles and dedicated software.

What each action needs

My experience says the anti-detect browser emulates a desktop machine, and that for real actions — comments, posts, links — you need residential proxies. For warm-up, 4G proxies are fine, or even your phone’s wifi. That’s where you save money.

My 4G farm: what I learned

I use the 4G farm for warm-up and it works. But the moment I post a comment, the accounts get banned. My explanation is that, running more than a thousand accounts, the IPs end up linked to each other. I can’t prove it, but the pattern is too consistent to be chance.

Static or rotating

If you use a static proxy you can attach up to five accounts to it, but you need at least three hours between one login and the next. That’s why I prefer rotating proxies: they take the timing problem off the table.

What to Use for Each Action

Warming up Reddit accounts

✔ Your own 4G phone
The cheapest option, and it works. On every session you have to restart the phone and check the IP has actually changed before you log in.
✔ DataImpulse
Around $1 per GB, which makes it the most interesting one on cost, with a good range of residential proxies for Reddit.
→ DataImpulse
✔ Bright Data
ISP residential IPs at around $1.80 per IP per month. These are proxies that genuinely work on Reddit.
→ Bright Data
✔ ProxyScrape
The best rotating residential proxies for Reddit — wasted on warm-up, keep them for the real actions. Price depends on the package: around $2.85 if you buy 5 GB.

Replying to comments

✘ Your own 4G phone
My experience says no. It’s fine for warm-up, but the moment I reply to a comment the accounts get banned — my guess is that running many accounts links the IPs to each other.
✔ DataImpulse
Around $1 per GB. For replies this is where the money is well spent.
→ DataImpulse
✔ Bright Data
ISP residential IPs at around $1.80 per IP per month. These hold up for real actions.
→ Bright Data
✔ ProxyScrape
They work, and they work well — but for replies they’re more than you need. Keep them for top-level comments, posts and links, where the extra quality pays off.

Top-level comments and posts

✘ Your own 4G phone
My experience says no. It’s fine for warm-up, but the moment the account does anything visible it gets banned — my guess is that running many accounts links the IPs to each other.
! DataImpulse
Good value, but not every IP in the pool is clean: some of them get the account banned. Fine if you’re prepared to lose a few, less so if the account matters.
→ DataImpulse
✔ Bright Data
ISP residential IPs at around $1.80 per IP per month. These hold up for real actions.
→ Bright Data
✔ ProxyScrape
The best rotating residential proxies I’ve used for Reddit. This is where they earn their price.
→ ProxyScrape

Posting affiliate links

This is the action Reddit watches most closely, and the one that costs you the account if the IP isn’t clean. Only two of the options on this page are worth using here.
✔ Bright Data
ISP residential IPs at around $1.80 per IP per month.
→ Bright Data
✔ ProxyScrape
The best rotating residential proxies I’ve used for Reddit.
→ ProxyScrape

My conclusion after ten years

Out of everything on this page, the two I’ve had the best results with are Bright Data and ProxyScrape. Both hold up on the actions that matter, and neither has burned accounts on me the way the cheaper options did.
Between the two, my own choice is ProxyScrape. I run a very large number of accounts, and at that scale rotating proxies are simply the most practical thing there is: no waiting between logins, no static IP to keep track of, no five-accounts-per-proxy arithmetic to manage. For the way I work, they’re the best and the most convenient.

If you only handle a handful of accounts, Bright Data’s static ISP IPs are just as good — and easier to reason about.
