Hi,
after getting my accounts shut down I'm starting over again and doing my best to avoid past mistakes.
I got a new VPS from Germany and installed Squid on Debian.
Then I set up Firefox's proxy settings.
I tested the vps ip address with ipx.ac/run , https://ipleak.net, tenta.com/test, dnsleaktest.com and browserleaks.com/ip
Except for browserleaks.com/ip all confirm that my ip and dns is in Germany.
browserleaks.com/ip shows completely different results. No idea why.
Is there anything else I need to change on the technichal level so that Facebook doesn't make a link between my old and new account?
Mac address?
OS?
You can spoof the mac address too, I have tried that but I am not sure if it helps or not. OS would be good to change but not necessary. I believe they place maybe the most importance on the "quality" of the machine you are running from. I have been able to create new accounts from the same Macbook and Facebook would not mind same IPclass, same browser, same OS and even same payment method assuming it had not been "suspended" before. So there's something2be said here about what how they seem to flag.
But with VPS it is most probably going to be a problem because those are data center IPs unless you get one with client side OS, not windows server or linux, and residential IP or at least IP that has not been abused before which is hard to find by google search.
Actually my idea was to set up a new FB profile and then create a new Business Manager and ask Facebook then to increase my ads account limit to 30+. But now I read more in the forum and people recommend to wait 2-3 months before adding the first ad account. That's too long for me.
I'll do it but meanwhile I'm looking for a quicker way to get started again.
For new account yes you have to wait. Assuming you set it up right like all fingerprints show a real human, it should take you 3 to 5 weeks to put on your first ad.
For old established account with at least a few friends that again you set up right in a "home-like" environment you can get started even within the first week.
Do not use Ubuntu. What regular human runs ads on Ubuntu?
