These days sneaker sites can easily recognize when you’re trying to trick the system. When you don’t use a proxy, your personal computer and bot will reach the site with the same detectable IP address over and over again. And in the end, you’ll get blocked or they’ll outright ban your IP address!
But you don’t have to sweat. Proxies act as a kind of mask between you and the sites you wanna get sneakers from. Specifically, they mask your IP address, keeping your identity and the location of the request hidden. All while providing a substitute IP address unique to the proxy. Making you (or your sneaker bot) less suspicious and more human-like while shopping and copping online. Getting you those kicks as quickly and smoothly as possible.
