How Can I Get Different IPs On My Craigslist Proxies?

For those who are going to setup their own Craigslist Proxies, making sure your IPs are from different C class IP ranges is something you should pay special attention to. It isn't a topic that is discussed often, but by not making sure you are using IPs on your proxy server from different C class IP ranges you are opening the door to be blocked by Craiglsist.Their are 4 main ranges for IPs, A B C and D. By using ranges we are able to log network IDs and network activity. Every computer online has an IP which allows it to communicate with other computers online, essentially functioning as an online mailing address or phone number. The most common method used to change your IP is by reconnecting to the internet, but more often than not it is still within the same IP range. This allows companies and other people to more easily identify your activities as even after changing your IP, it has not been changed to the extent that they are unable to make any connection between your old and new IP. This could also very well be used by Craigslist in their attempts to log use of Craigslist by people posting ads. If you wish to remain anonymous to Craigslist then C class IP ranges for your proxy server should help you to do so.As previously mentioned, not changing your IP significantly may mean Craigslist is able to make a connection between two or more accounts you use to post on Craigslist with even after you change your IP (since your new IP isn't varied enough from the old one to make you look like a completely different user). Be sure that your proxy server is able to get IPs from different C class IP ranges to help avoid this problem. Typically, IPs on proxy server are within the same range, this is something you should try to avoid. If you wish to post a lot of ads on Craigslist then remaining anonymous is very important, so be sure to get a Craigslist Proxies with IPs in different C class IP ranges.
