What is a proxy?
A proxy can be explained as an IP. So you can use a proxy to get a new IP. Some servers have a limit on how many accounts you may connect to their server. This limit is controlled by your IP, so you can bypass it using a proxy.
Usage example
The server you play has a player limit of 3 accounts per IP.
You have 6 accounts that you wish to use.
You can add 1 proxy to have an additional IP.
Assign this proxy to 3 of your accounts.
Now your first 3 accounts will have your default IP and the other 3 accounts will have the proxy IP. This way, the server can't limit your connections!
Tips and tricks
Some proxies are free, others are paid. Free proxies are often unreliable and with high ping. A lot of free proxies are also easily detected. So if the server doesn't allow proxies, then you need a quality proxy so they can't detect it.
Types of proxies
SOCKS5 This is the recommended type of proxy.
HTTP Not recommened, but may be used in some rare cases. HTTP proxies are not designed to work for game connections, so most HTTP proxies will not work for minecraft.
Which proxies to buy
We recommend buying private datacenter proxies. We do not recommend buying residential proxies as they usually cause a lot of issues.
