LinkedIn is an essential customer acquisition tool for cross-border foreign trade. Many professionals around the world use LinkedIn as the main tool for publishing and sharing content, which makes it an essential channel tool for cross-border overseas expansion.

However, many friends who do foreign trade know that LinkedIn accounts are easily restricted and blocked, but if you make good use of tools and use proxy IPs, you can solve this problem well. Here I will share with you how to use Linkedln safely and efficiently through proxy IPs.

I. What is a proxy IP?

Proxy IPs can be described as regular proxy servers that act as gatekeepers or intermediaries for all connections. Usually, you will connect directly to the desired site without hiding your IP or the data associated with it. Proxies allow you to route connections through different computers. In this way, the website will only be able to view the IP address of the proxy server, but not any personal data of your original device, which plays a "protective cover" role in protecting the real IP address and information.

II. When should you use a LinkedIn proxy?

In order to regulate the community environment, LinkedIn started the practice of determining the ban of certain accounts and IP addresses based on internal information very early. In this way, companies and users are restricted from creating multiple accounts and pages at the same time. Therefore, in some cases, certain IPs and connections may be marked as suspicious or even robot-like activities, so we need to pay special attention to IP security and multi-account anti-association when using LinkedIn.

If you use LinkedIn through a proxy IP, you can circumvent any of these regulations. Basically, you just need to set up a unique proxy IP for each account to give each account a corresponding security environment.

This brings up another question: How to use a proxy IP? Basically, you can set up a proxy in the usual way like any other type of proxy. The combination of fingerprint browser and proxy IP is a universal formula for multi-account operation of Linkedln. The following can be done using the fingerprint browser:

1. Open the fingerprint browser and click New Browser-Device Configuration;

2. Select the device service you need. Social media operation and marketing generally choose static residential devices.

3. After obtaining the device information, return to the browser profile page, select the proxy IP, and complete the account environment configuration.

III. The benefits of using LinkedIn proxy

1. Strengthen privacy protection

Through the proxy, you can protect the security of IP addresses and other sensitive information to prevent being tracked. LinkedIn's privacy policy allows a lot of your data to be collected, and the proxy can help eliminate this tracking.

2. Targeted push to customers

Proxy IP can be a good functional supplement for your daily browsing in general. For example, LinkedIn may identify your region and contact group based on your IP address alone, and push local content and user recommendations to you, which is very useful for those who want to enter a certain regional market and expand their network.

3. Multi-account IP isolation

Multi-account operation needs to be well prevented from association, otherwise if it is detected by the platform as owned by the same user, the account will be restricted at the least and the IP will be blacklisted at the worst. Using proxy IP + fingerprint browser can realize multi-account operation on one machine, while ensuring that each account is configured with a separate IP, and the association problem is solved. This is also a good choice and tool for remote workers or teams working in different time zones.

4. LinkedIn automation

Social media automation is an efficient promotion method, such as automatic posting, automatic comments, etc., and if you want to achieve automation, proxy IP may be a must-have tool. You can also use static residential proxies to select different countries for your account and contact users in specific regions. This method is particularly beneficial for companies planning to enter new markets.

Ⅳ. How to avoid being restricted?

In addition to the IP security issues mentioned above, you should avoid sending spam or promoting the same products or services on different accounts. LinkedIn can detect this type of activity, so spamming will most likely result in all accounts being banned. In this case, a proxy IP cannot help you or protect your profile from being banned.
