Photo by Freestocks.org from StockSnap

As an active Instagram user, you may be in a position where you need to manage multiple Instagram accounts for various purposes. In such a case, you will be forced to use automation tools to help you manage these accounts. It is against Instagram policies to have multiple accounts (more than five) under one IP (Internet Protocol) address or to use automation bots. If you have to use those, you will have to mask your IP address or else Instagram will block your accounts. If at any one time you find your accounts blocked, here is a list of proxies for unblocking Instagram. But before you get to use those proxies, how do you unblock your account?

Choosing the Right Provider                    

You will first need to choose a proxy provider. It would be good if you go for residential proxies. These proxies resemble the real IP addresses hence Instagram is not likely to flag them when their traffic passes through them. These proxies can be quite expensive, but you get more benefits from them. They are fast, effective, and highly anonymous. If you are only trying out unblocking your account and do not want to spend, you can go for shared proxies. They are also quite a handful. However, such proxies are not as reliable and Instagram can easily identify and block them hence defeating the purpose of their use. If you want the best service, ensure that you buy a reliable, legal, and fast proxy from a company rather than a random individual. Here are some that you can consider.

This proxy provides both HTTPs and SOCKS proxies. It is unavailable in many countries, but has the best of customer service if you are within their range.
