Proxies

Proxies route your userbot traffic through different IP addresses, reducing the chance that multiple accounts are linked together and flagged by platform detection systems.

Why Proxies Matter

When you run multiple userbots from the same machine or server, all of them share the same IP address. Platforms like Discord and Telegram monitor for this pattern — multiple accounts operating from a single IP is a strong signal of automated behavior.

Proxies solve this by giving each userbot a different exit IP address, making each account appear to connect from a different location.

Key benefits:

• IP diversity — Each profile can connect from a unique IP address
• Ban isolation — If one account is banned, other accounts on different proxies are not affected
• Geographic targeting — Use proxies in specific regions to match your community’s location
• Detection reduction — Distributed traffic patterns appear more natural to platform monitoring

Proxy Types

Community Swarm supports three categories of proxies:

System Gateway

The system gateway is a built-in proxy provided by Community Swarm’s infrastructure. If configured for your organization, it appears at the top of the Proxies page. You do not need to set it up — it is managed automatically.

The system gateway shows its status, last health check time, supported countries, and failure count.

Rotating Proxy Providers

Rotating proxies connect through a proxy provider’s gateway and automatically assign different IP addresses for each session. This is the recommended option for most users.

How rotating proxies work:

1. You configure a connection to your proxy provider (e.g., residential proxy service)
2. Each time a userbot connects, the provider assigns a different IP address
3. Sessions can be configured with sticky duration (same IP for a set period) or fully rotating

Advantages:

• Large IP pool without managing individual addresses
• Automatic rotation reduces detection risk
• Session-based control over IP persistence

Static Proxies

Static proxies are fixed IP addresses that you provide individually. Each proxy is a single address that always routes traffic through the same server.

When to use static proxies:

• You have specific IP addresses from a VPS or dedicated server
• You need guaranteed control over which exact IP is used
• You are running a small number of profiles

Supported Protocols

All proxy types support three connection protocols:

• HTTP — Standard HTTP proxy
• HTTPS — HTTP proxy with TLS encryption
• SOCKS5 — SOCKS5 proxy (supports both TCP and UDP)

Assigning Proxies to Profiles

After adding proxies, you can assign them to individual profiles from the Profiles page. When editing or creating a profile, the proxy selector lets you choose between:

• System gateway (if available)
• Rotating provider — Select from your configured rotating proxy providers
• Static proxy — Select a specific static proxy

Only active, healthy proxies appear in the selector.
