A short routine for the first login on a new proxy IP, and what to check right after it.
First, one account gets one IP. The same IP should not carry a second account, and the account should not move between IPs. Second, the account gets its own browser profile or its own phone, so the cookies and the login session stay with that account. Third, pick the country once, usually the region of the account owner or its audience, and keep it.
This is the same routine as in the guide on changing IP after an Instagram ban, which also explains what an IP can and cannot change.
| Item | What Instagram can see | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Network exit | The IP address and network a login comes from | Give each account one steady IP; check it before login |
| Device and browser | The device or browser a login comes from, as the login activity list shows | One profile or phone per account |
| Account | Who logs in and how often it changes place | One owner per account; do not share logins |
| A confirmation prompt | A login it does not recognise | Complete the confirmation yourself and honestly |

Enter the proxy in the browser profile or the phone settings that belong to this one account, not in a system-wide setting that other accounts also use.
Open https://ipinfo.io/json through the proxy. The country should be the one you chose and the network should be an internet provider, not an error page.
Expected result A JSON page with the exit IP, country and network.
Type the login yourself from that profile. If the page does not load or shows a proxy error, fix the connection first; do not keep reloading.
If Instagram asks you to confirm that it is you, use the code or the approval it sends to the email, phone or device you own. Do not try again in a loop if it does not work.
Before continuing If a prompt keeps coming back, stop and check the network and the IP before more attempts.
Turn on two-factor authentication, then open the login activity list in the security settings and check that every entry is yours. Log out an entry you do not recognise and report it as not you.
Before continuing Menu names change; look for security and login activity in your app version.
Use the same IP for this account every time and do not put another account through it. Before the lease ends, check the end date in My assets so the account is not left without its IP.
An account that logs in repeatedly is easiest to keep steady on a static IP: the address does not rotate during the lease. A rotating residential proxy that changes IP on every connection makes each login come from a different place, which is the opposite of the routine above. If you use rotating residential for an account at all, pick a sticky mode and finish the whole login in one go.
Free proxies and shared VPN addresses are a different matter: the guide on the open proxy message explains why Instagram may reject them.
Check Are HOST, PORT, protocol, username and password copied from My assets?
Fix Copy them again and test the proxy with ipinfo.io before opening Instagram.
Stop when If the test fails too, open a ticket with the order number.
Check Is the IP a free proxy or a shared VPN address?
Fix Retry from the account's usual connection and read the open proxy guide.
Stop when Do not keep reloading with the same address.
Check Does the account log in from a different IP each time?
Fix Move the account to one steady IP and keep using only that one.
Stop when If the prompt is still there after a few days on one IP, complete it each time and use Instagram's own support for the account.
Check Is it another device of yours?
Fix Log it out, report it as not you and change the password.
Open the static ISP page, choose the country, the lease term and the quantity (one IP for each account), and the protocol, HTTP or SOCKS5; each IP has one protocol. Generate the IPs, copy HOST, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD from My assets, and label each IP with the account it belongs to.
A static ISP IP costs US$0.50 for one day and US$7.99 for 30 days, about US$0.27 a day (7.99 / 30), the same in every country. Availability changes daily and is shown on the order page. There is no free trial, and the smallest purchase is one IP for one day. An IP does not lift a restriction, undo a ban or raise a limit.
Yes, a proxy can be set in the browser profile or the phone. Instagram's rules and its own checks still apply, so a proxy does not guarantee that no prompt appears.
Give each account its own IP. Do not put a second account through the same IP.
A static IP keeps the login location steady. A rotating proxy that changes IP on every connection makes each login come from a different place, so it is a poor fit for account logins.
Complete it yourself with the code or approval sent to your own email, phone or device. If it keeps returning, check the network and the IP before trying again.
No. A restriction is a decision about the account, and Instagram's own review process is the way to challenge it.

Official documentation · Confirmed on:
Read on 15 November 2026: two-factor authentication by phone number or authenticator app is recommended, and once it is on Instagram alerts you when someone tries to log in from a device or browser it does not recognise; Login Activity lists the devices that recently logged in (Settings, Security, Login Activity), and an unfamiliar login can be logged out and reported as not you.
The post is from July 2021; menu names in the app may differ today. Instagram's Help Center is where Meta keeps the current steps.
