Will using a rotating proxy (a proxy that changes it's IP every 30minutes to 24 hours) increase my chances of being banned?

[sneakyseverus]

Does Jagex have a flagging system that will detect and ban an account?

[Gunman]

We speculate they do. Make a test account and see what it does.

It really depends on how close the proxies are together, your account will be locked if you you use a proxy in the UK and then instantly change to a proxy in India for example. Also using residential proxies will decrease detection but no real player switches IP a lot. Rotating proxies should only be used for making mass tutorial island accounts from personal experience as they just get locked or disabled straight off tutorial island.

 

You can set up residential proxies using a Raspberry PI(s) however so they can be quite cheap if you know what you're doing

So youre saying that rotating IP's are useless?

Not if you're creating tutorial island accounts but yes if you are using them to bot generally, this is because Jagex can see IP changes and it's obvious that you are using a rotating proxy if it changes every x amount of minutes/hours.

So what kind of proxy do you recommend?

rotating proxy for account creation and then datacenter proxies for botting?

 

[John Wick]

It will certainly increase the chance of locking the accounts, it's not a permanent ban but will need a little time to unlock.

Really accounts should be created on the same IP as you run them on, to avoid account locking. For suicide bots datacenter proxies are fine but for P2P bots you should invest in a few residential proxies. If however you are only running your main account then do it on your home IP.

Also selling accounts with a registered email is a lot harder also so if just farming gold then unlocking is fine, however if you plan on selling the account people will pay far far less because it can be recovered.

But it can be recovered regardless

True, but people think they're safe so they are worth more. You are 100% correct though, it can be done if a seller keeps the proxy it can be recovered based on the creation IP.
