Social network proxies: choose the right purpose

Choose a proxy type and checkout purpose for managing social accounts or collecting public social-platform data.

Written by Andrew

Social platforms have different requirements, so select the proxy type and Purpose that match your task before you check out. A purpose helps us route your order correctly; it does not guarantee that a third-party platform will accept every IP or account.

Choose a purpose for your task

For managing or maintaining an account, select the platform-specific purpose when it is available in checkout.

For collecting public data or content, choose a scraping purpose instead of an account-management purpose when one is available, such as TikTok Scraping, Instagram Scraping, Reddit Scraping, or YouTube Video Downloading. Use PrivateProxy only for information that is publicly available and legally accessible. You are responsible for ensuring that your use complies with applicable law and the target platform’s Terms of Service. We do not support access to private, gated, paid, or protected data, or bypassing a platform’s security controls or rate limits. Read our Responsible Use & Ethical Use Policy for the full policy.

Choose a proxy type

If you need a stable IP for an account session, choose a static option available in checkout. For data collection, select a rotating option only when the relevant scraping purpose is available for that product.

The checkout shows only the purposes supported by the package you selected. If a purpose is not shown, choose the closest available option or select a different compatible product before placing the order.

Order your proxies

  1. Sign in to your PrivateProxy.me dashboard and choose the proxy product and package.

  2. Select Purpose and choose the platform or use case that matches your task.

  3. Select a country when checkout asks for one, then complete your order.

For an exclusive or reserved proxy pool, custom volume, or a requirement that is not available in checkout, contact support with your platform, proxy type, country, quantity, and intended use.
