Is a VPN What I Need?

Seeking Help
1

Hi everyone! I’m looking to do the following:

I want to create a Gmail and Instagram account, but I need to do this exclusively from an external IP (meaning outside my home area). After setting up these accounts, I want to be able to use them regularly.

The key point here is stability—I want to avoid getting banned, especially on Instagram, for logging in from different IPs, which can happen with the random IPs that VPN services typically use.

So, how can I set this up properly to avoid any issues? Is a VPN the right solution, or should I consider other options like Tor?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Ok whether or not you need a VPN fully lies on your specific needs and probably online habits for instance ,VPNs encrypt your internet traffic, making it impossible for anyone to intercept or monitor your information :grinning:

A VPN is essential—it helps you bypass geo-restrictions and keeps you secure by hiding and changing your IP from the rest of the world. :wink:

A VPN could work for you, but it depends on how well the VPN service manages its IP pool. Some VPNs have more stable IP addresses, while others rotate them frequently. If you need a consistent IP, you might want to explore other options like a dedicated IP service.

Tor might be overkill for your needs, as it’s designed for anonymity, not just changing your IP.
