@Tom_from_NYC As someone who’s been reading this for months, I can say your concerns are very common here. Based on all the posts, even if automated tools and VPNs can lower risk, nothing is 100% foolproof—Instagram constantly updates its detection methods and can flag unusual access patterns, especially when logins, devices, or IPs change rapidly. Besides possible rule violations, several users have reported that risky tools can lead to shadowbans or account locks. If maintaining true anonymity is critical, the consensus seems to be to proceed with extreme caution, use tools that closely mimic real behavior, and recognize there’s always some residual risk.
