When you visit a website, it sees much more than just your login and password. Imagine walking into a bar, and the bartender not only remembers your face but also knows what shoes you are wearing, your height, your favorite drink, and even how you hold your cup. It is the same online.
Websites track:
Your IP address (where you are connecting from).
Which browser you are using and its settings.
Your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) and its version.
Your screen size and installed fonts.
Which browser extensions you have.
Your system language and time zone.
All of this creates your digital fingerprint. Even if you change your IP or clear cookies, websites can still recognize you. Sometimes this is not a big deal, but if you are managing multiple accounts, the consequences can be unpleasant like unexpected restrictions or even a ban.
Ways to Manage Multiple Accounts
There are several ways to deal with this issue. Let’s break down their pros and cons.
1. VPN
✅ Changes your IP address.
❌ Does not mask your device information.
❌ Many popular VPN services are often blocked.
When it helps: If a website only checks your IP, which is rare.
When it does not help: If the website analyzes additional parameters.
In short: A VPN is like wearing a mask but keeping the same clothes. The site can still recognize you.
2. VPS (Remote Server)
✅ Provides a new IP and a new system.
✅ Allows you to work from different locations using remote machines.
❌ Requires technical knowledge.
❌ Expensive. Renting a decent server can cost more than the service you are using.
❌ If you log into one account from multiple VPSs, the site might detect connections.
When it helps: If you know how to set up servers and are willing to pay for reliable solutions.
When it does not help: If you need an easy and user-friendly solution.
In short: A VPS is like renting a separate apartment for each account. Cool, but expensive and complicated.
3. Multiple Browsers on One Computer
✅ Different sessions and cookies.
❌ The computer remains the same, so websites still see matching parameters.
❌ You might accidentally switch between accounts.
When it helps: If the website only tracks cookies.
When it does not help: If the website analyzes your device on a deeper level.
In short: It is like changing outfits but staying in the same room. The site will still figure out it is you.
4. Multiple Computers
✅ Completely separate devices.
❌ Expensive if you need more than two or three machines.
❌ Physically inconvenient. Constantly switching between devices is not easy.
When it helps: If you have a small number of accounts and physical access to different computers.
When it does not help: If you are managing a large number of accounts.
In short: It is like owning multiple apartments and switching between them. Reliable, but complicated.
How an Anti Detect Browser Works
An anti detect browser creates a unique environment for each account, making websites see it as a separate device. It automatically changes all the key technical parameters:
Browser version. The site sees the browser you have set, not your real one.
Operating system. You can appear to be using Windows even if you are on macOS.
Screen size and display settings. Websites can no longer identify your device based on these.
Installed extensions. Hides or replaces them so they do not give you away.
System language and time zone. These now match your chosen location.
Your location. Using proxies, you can reliably change your location.
How to Use an Anti Detect Browser
Create a new profile. This is like a separate workspace for one account.
Choose the country where your account is located. The browser will automatically match your settings to that location. In Gologin, you just need to select the country or city. In regular antidetect browsers, you will need to buy a proxy server and configure it in the browser.
Open the profile and work as you would in a regular browser.
All technical parameters are configured automatically.
What to Keep in Mind
Use one proxy per profile. Using one IP address for multiple profiles can link them together.
Create profiles with the same operating system you are using. For example, do not emulate macOS on Windows.
Do not log into the same profile from different operating systems. It looks suspicious.
Do not tweak advanced settings unless you are sure what you are doing. For example, User Agent or hardware characteristics. The anti detect browser already optimizes these settings for you.
What is the Bottom Line?
Websites track more than just your IP. They monitor dozens of other parameters.
VPNs and VPSs can help partially but do not provide full protection.
Anti detect browsers make managing multiple accounts convenient and secure.
Everything is configured automatically. No need to manually adjust settings.
The key is to use the tool correctly. One profile per proxy and avoid changing advanced settings unnecessarily.
If you need to manage multiple accounts easily and avoid unnecessary headaches, an anti detect browser is what really works. It is like having multiple computers in one but without the extra cost or hassle.
