Gologin plans include a proxy traffic allowance measured in gigabytes (GB). This is the volume of data that passes through the proxy while your profiles browse — not disk space or RAM.
What counts as traffic
Every time a GoLogin profile sends or receives data through the proxy, it uses traffic. This includes:
Loading web pages and images
Watching videos or content
Submitting forms
Running automation scripts
Traffic is only counted when you use Gologin's own built-in proxy network. If you connect a third-party proxy to a profile, that traffic does not count against your Gologin allowance.
Rough estimates by use case
Use case | Estimated traffic per profile |
LinkedIn browsing and outreach (2 hrs/day) | 0.3–0.5 GB / month |
Facebook / Instagram browsing (2 hrs/day) | 0.5–1 GB / month |
Facebook Ads management (active work) | 1–2 GB / month |
Crypto platforms, wallet interactions | 0.1–0.3 GB / month |
Web scraping (light, text-only pages) | 0.5–2 GB / month |
Web scraping (media-heavy pages) | 2–5 GB / month |
E-commerce (Amazon, eBay browsing) | 0.5–1.5 GB / month |
These are estimates. Actual usage depends on how much time profiles are active, how media-heavy the sites are, and whether automation is running.
Quick calculation
Formula: number of profiles × GB per profile per month = total GB needed
Examples:
Scenario | Profiles | GB/profile/month | Total needed |
5 LinkedIn accounts, light use | 5 | 0.4 GB | ~2 GB |
10 Facebook Ads accounts | 10 | 1.5 GB | ~15 GB |
20 crypto wallets, occasional use | 20 | 0.2 GB | ~4 GB |
30 e-commerce accounts | 30 | 1 GB | ~30 GB |
I bought GB-based proxies from another provider — what does that mean?
Some proxy providers sell traffic in GB (like GoLogin does), while others sell by number of IP addresses or by time period. If you're used to buying IPs rather than GB, here's how to think about it:
A GB-based proxy gives you a fixed volume of data to use across any IP in the pool. You're paying for bandwidth, not for a specific address.
If you need a fixed IP that never changes (required for Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn, and most financial platforms), you need a static proxy — typically sold as a monthly subscription per IP, not by GB.
What happens when traffic runs out
When your Gologin proxy traffic allowance is used up, profiles that use Gologin's built-in proxies will stop being able to connect through those proxies. You'll see a connection error.
To avoid interruptions:
Monitor your usage in the Gologin dashboard
Top up your proxy balance before it runs out
Consider using third-party proxies for high-traffic accounts (they don't consume your Gologin allowance)
Using third-party proxies instead
If you're managing accounts that require consistent, dedicated IPs — or you need more traffic than your plan includes — connect your own proxy from a third-party provider.
Third-party proxies are added in profile settings and do not affect your Gologin traffic balance at all.
