## Optional

1. We provide a proxy for your account by default, but you can add your proxy as well in the following formats. "[http://ip:port](https://faq.botrush.ai/guides/http:/ip:port)" OR "[http://username:password@ip:port](https://faq.botrush.ai/guides/http:/username:password@ip:port)". 4G/5G/LTE mobile Proxies are required if you want to bring your own proxy. You need to make sure the proxy rotates at least every 3-5 minutes. You can contact your 4g/5g Mobile/LTE proxy provider to check if the proxy rotates every 3-5 minutes.&#x20;
2. But be assured that, you don't need to take the pain of the proxy process because we already assign proxies for every single Instagram account by default

# Conclusion

Throughout the previous 8 Sub Pages of the Tutorial, I showed how to set targets for all the interactive automation.&#x20;

I would suggest you add only the necessary targets you need, not all and everything from targeting options. For example, I sometimes use only People(Likers) and Hashtags as targets for automation, as those worked better for me.

Best of luck!

# Instagram Auto Follow and Auto Like

This automation will use targets you set in the same Reactions Pro.

In this FAQ, you will learn how to set up automation for -> Auto Follow and Auto Like.

**Suggestion: Instagram Mass Story Actions for Masslooking and Story Likers are more effective than Auto Follow/Unfollow Method**

## Auto Follow: With this, you can Auto Follow your target users.

## Auto Like: With this, you can Auto Like your target users.

**Caution:** This automation has certain limits. Please be aware of the speed you set. Aged accounts can have higher speeds than newer ones.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/KsBKZcNvB3NFtuIgwYBf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Select Prorate Algorithm function to set the speed to 25% of the speed you set. It will gradually speed up 25% each day until it reaches 100% of the speed you set


# Instagram Auto Unfollow

This automation will use targets you set in the same Reactions Pro.

In this FAQ, you will learn how to set up automation for -> Auto Unfollow.

**Suggestion: Instagram Mass Story Actions for Masslooking and Story Likers are more effective than Auto Follow/Unfollow Method**

## Auto Unfollow: With this, you can Auto Unfollow your target users.

Caution: This automation has certain limits. Please be aware of the speed you set. Aged accounts can have higher speeds than newer ones.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/KsBKZcNvB3NFtuIgwYBf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Select Prorate Algorithm function to set the speed to 25% of the speed you set. It will gradually speed up 25% each day until it reaches 100% of the speed you set


# Instagram Auto Comment

This automation will use targets you set in the same Reactions Pro.

In this FAQ, you will learn how to set up automation for -> Auto Comment.

**Suggestion: Instagram Mass Story Actions for Masslooking and Story Likers are more effective than Auto Follow/Unfollow Method**

## Auto Comment: With this, you can Auto Comment on your target user's post comment box.

***Caution:*** This automation has been severely restricted by Instagram due to their Anti-Spam policy; please be cautious. Please be aware of the speed you set. Aged accounts can have higher speeds than newer ones.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/KsBKZcNvB3NFtuIgwYBf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Select Prorate Algorithm function to set the speed to 25% of the speed you set. It will gradually speed up 25% each day until it reaches 100% of the speed you set


# Username & Full Name Blacklist and Language Filtration

This automation will use targets you set in the same Reactions Pro.

In this FAQ, you will learn how to set filters for automation of Reactions Pro -> Mass Story Reactions - (Polls, Polls Sliders, Quiz, Countdowns, Mass Story View, Like Stories), Auto Follow, Auto Unfollow, Auto Like, Auto Comment.

## Username & Full Name Filter: With this, you can Filter out keywords for username and full names. Put these keywords separated by comma.

***Caution:*** Filteration might slow down the automation and use higher automation resourse from your account. But it is recommended to use filters to avoid bad profies. Language filteration is not recommended. Because as an example, a german user might have a profile with English bio, so if you set the language to German only, you will be missing that profile as a target! But if you focus to have profile for specific languages only, you are good to use this function.


# Automation Activity Time Filtering

Highly recommend using this! It is almost equivalent to must use or mandatory to use while automating.

Tick the "Activity Time (Optional)" option and select the timing you want the bot to automate. For example, if you use Instagram a lot in the evening and at lunchtime, then it would be best to schedule automation timing accordingly. **It is highly recommended!!!**

1. You can also randomize the automation time by clicking the "RANDOMIZED" button, but I would prefer our users to set timing accordingly as they used to use it.
2. While randomizing, you can mention minimum hours and maximum hours before randomizing it.

## Again, highly recommended to use this function to sustain long-term automation without pauses for hitting limits.


# Accelerators and Custom Proxy

It is recommended to add Accelerator accounts to boost your automation without any pauses for high scraping activity for automation.

Please log in to a new account to use that as an accelerator for your primary account. All the accounts logged inside Botrush must have a Phone Number & Email linked to it.&#x20;

**There is more safety information in the first tab of the Reactions Pro section.**

**You can add an additional proxy alongside the one we provided or the one you linked while logged into your account. These proxies will be used for like/follow/unfollow/comment/DM requests. It is not necessary but you can add it as like/follow/unfollow/comment/DM needs a higher proxy trust score.**&#x20;

**Proxy type: 4G/5G/LTE Mobile Proxy, Rotates at least once every 3-5 minutes**

* Proxy should match the following pattern: [http://ip:port](https://faq.botrush.ai/guides/http:/ip:port) OR [http://username:password@ip:port](https://faq.botrush.ai/guides/http:/username:password@ip:port)


# Safe Bot Action Speed

What speed should I use so I don't get action limited?

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to know:** We will always recommend you to use the lowest possible speed at the beginning, and then slowly raise it.

Use low speed, then increase it to medium speed after a month. High speed is for verified accounts only. Any unverified accounts using very high or high speed will be "action blocked" by Instagram.
{% endhint %}


# Error - Locale does not exist

{% hint style="info" %}
**For this error, please go to profile settings and select your language again and save it, even if you see the language is already selected, just select it again and save.**

**Then restart your Automation**
{% endhint %}


# Don't use every function at once!

This is a warning!

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to know:** You should avoid using multiple automation toolkits of Flamista at once.
{% endhint %}

**Tips**

As an example, you should not use the Live function while the "Auto Follow" function is active. Because a normal human will probably not follow people while in Live.


# Error - ip\_block

If you see any error that says "The authorization attempt was rejected by Instagram server........", here is what to do.

1. Try again immediately
2. If step 1 fails, Try again just after 3 minutes.
3. If step 2 fails again, contact support for login help
4. NOTE THAT, IF YOU ARE USING YOUR OWN PROXY, THEN THERE MIGHT BE ISSUE WITH YOUR PROXY


# Error - Challenge Required

If you see this line, you will need to delete your Instagram account from Botrush and then add the account again. In short, Re-Login!

It is recommended to pause every automation for 24 hours if you see this message.


# Error - Login Required

If you see this line, you will need to delete your Instagram account from Botrush and then add the account again. In short, Re-Login!

It is recommended to pause every automation for 24 hours if you see this message.

# Account Compromised Message In Instagram

# Error - Access to Instagram API for account "X" restricted for spam behavior or otherwise abusing.

While trying to login into your Instagram account and you might see an error - "Access to Instagram API for account X restricted for spam behavior or otherwise abusing. Please change your proxy or contact support".

This error happens very rarely or if you login to your account on too many devices.

If you use your own proxy, that proxy quality might be bad causing this error
