BYOIP stands for ‘bring your own IP address.’ A common question regarding BYOIP is, “Why would I need to use a different IP address?”
The answer is simple: BYOIP allows We-Connect to host automated activity from a single location. This is best for users who manage multiple accounts, have a team, or frequently travel to new locations, as it negates the need for PIN verification & prevents LinkedIn suspicion.
Here’s how you can set up BYOIP:
Step 1: Go to the ‘LinkedIn Accounts” page from the settings menu.
The LinkedIn accounts page is where you can manage your connected account. You can add your own IP address when adding or editing a LinkedIn profile to We-Connect.
Step 2: Click the ‘Add New’ or ‘Edit’ button to add your own IP address to a LinkedIn account.
If you're adding a new account, you’ll be prompted to enter your LinkedIn email, password, time zone, sleep hours, and location.
Step 3: Toggle on ‘Use Your Own IP.'
Step 4: Enter the required criteria.
Once selected, We-Connect will ask for the following information from your proxy provider:
IP Address
Port Number
Username
Password
