Proxies for AIO Bots

Yes. Insomniac is a copping browser rather than a task-based bot, but the proxy layer works the same way: you load a list into its Proxy List page (insomniac://settings/proxylist) by pasting or importing a file, then let it assign an address per session — the “proxy per session in order” method with shuffle guarantees no address repeats until the whole list has cycled, which is exactly the one-IP-per-attempt discipline task bots enforce. An insomniac proxy setup follows the same type split as any other copping tool: datacenter addresses for the browsing and monitoring sessions, ISP for the sessions that carry a checkout. Our lists export in plain CSV with any field order, so they drop into Insomniac's import format without editing.

This is the spec to check before any drop, and most providers bury it. Each of our plans allows a tiered number of concurrent connections — larger packages carry higher tiers, and the limits are among the highest on the market. But the arithmetic works in your favor for a different reason: since every task should run its own address anyway, 300 tasks spread across a 300-IP group put a handful of connections on each proxy, not 300 on one. Where people actually hit ceilings is the opposite setup — a big task group squeezed through a ten-address list. If your task count and your address count are close to equal, the connection limit is not the thing that fails on drop day.

Probably not — bot testers measure something different from what the number implies. Most of them time a full first connection to a fixed test URL: DNS lookup, TCP handshake, TLS negotiation, sometimes through an endpoint on another continent. That first-connection cost disappears once a session is warm, and it says nothing about throughput — the up-to-500-Mbps figure is how fast data moves once connected, which is what matters when a checkout page loads its scripts. Two checks give you a real answer: point the tester at the actual target site's product page rather than the default URL, and compare the geography — a European address tested against a US endpoint reports transatlantic latency as if it were the proxy's fault. If a specific address still tests hundreds of milliseconds behind its siblings on a fair test, that one's a candidate for replacement.

Warm the sessions, not the addresses. An IP doesn't accumulate goodwill by idling, but a session does: bots that open their checkout tasks 5–10 minutes before the release — loading the homepage, picking up cookies, letting the anti-bot script run its fingerprinting — enter the drop with a scored, established session instead of a cold connection that appears out of nowhere at the exact second the product goes live. That timing pattern (first request ever, at release time, straight to the product page) is itself a bot signal. What warming should never do is burn your checkout addresses on monitoring duty: the address that polled a product page four hundred times in the last hour enters the drop with exactly the history you paid to avoid. Preload from the checkout group, poll from the monitoring group, and don't swap them.
