1.What is proxies and how it works in general?

GetSales uses proxy for secure LinkedIn & Email automation. We are not a proxy providers, but have a huge pool of IP addresses, buying them prom popular vendor like proxy-seller, proxy cheap, IP royal, etc. All proxies in the world often experience downtime. GetSales automatically and regularly ping proxies to get them back from down time. For broken proxies we automatically provide substitution.

2.Can I use my own proxy?

GetSales suggests you 2 options:

  1. Using our proxies. GetSales has a pool of proxies of the best world providers. It includes both residential & data center IPs. Since proxies often get connectivity issues we automatically change them for your convenience;

  2. Using your own proxy. If you prefer full control over proxy, you can use your own IPs. In that case we would't be able to change broken proxies, but have more geo control. In case you pay for traffic keep in mind that 1 sender profile automation consumes around 3GB/ month;

In case you share a GoLogin session with us you have to use only your own proxy.

3.What proxy to choose when connecting LinkedIn account?

Ideally, you choose the country indicated on your LinkedIn profile. Alternatively, you can select the country you usually access LinkedIn from. If there’s no suitable option, feel free to choose any other country close to the ones above or popular destinations like the USA or Germany.

You also have the option to use your own proxy for full control and can request a specific country proxy to be added to our pool.

4.What kind of proxies do you use?

We use a mix of residential & data center proxies (for countries where residential are not available).

5.Where do I buy proxies?

Want to use your own proxy (e.g. for a missing location) but don’t have one yet? Quickly get started with affordable dedicated residential IPs from popular resellers like proxy-seller.com, proxy-cheap.com, etc. They cost $2–3/month and take just 5 minutes to set up.

6.Can I manage proxies for Email Inboxes?

At the moment you can't choose or use your own proxies for the inboxes. But in 2025 we will release such an option for your convenience.

7. Wrong IP address detected by LinkedIn during the connection process.

We use a pool of the most reliable proxy providers, including proxy-seller, ip royal, etc. However, LinkedIn ip identification sometimes doesnt work properly, and when all ip providers identify one country - Linkedin could recognise another one. It happens most likely because they have outdated database of ips/countries and not possible to manage (all providers of LinkedIn automation face this problem).

That's why getsales provides you a way to use your own proxy. If you want country to match you can buy & check the proxy after logging to LinkedIn, making sure it identified correctly and if so using it. If not asking for a substitution and trying again.
