MOBILE PROXIES FOR OSINT INVESTIGATIONS

DEPLOY A MOBILE PROXY IN PLACE OF A VPN

VPN CONNECTION COMPROMISED?

Are you finding that some online resources and platforms are blocking access when you are connected with a VPN?

This might happen when you are accessing the social media accounts of a poorly constructed and vulnerable Synthetic Identity or when trying to create new social media accounts for a Synthetic Identity.
Some social media platforms might suspend accounts that they suspect are not related to a real person and as a part of that policy, they might detect a VPN during creation of a new account, and simply block the set-up process.

More & more OSINT command line tools are being developed & many of them include the capability to connect from the search results to the the relevant social media account of your Synthetic Identity. With access to the platform, there will be a multitude of investigation capabilities and even data scraping. Where the social media platform blocks the account, the processing that started from the Command Line is compromised.

Likewise, when creating a new account on any internet resource and doing this quickly with an existing Synthetic Identity social media account, the process might be blocked when accessing the internet through a VPN.

Also, many News Media platforms, such as the BBC, have the capability to detect a VPN and restrict certain content on their platform.

When you are accessing the internet with a shared VPN, the connection might experience congestion, just when you need to download a large file. You might find you have to drop the connection, exposing your real IP address, before making another VPN connection, that hopefully is not congested.

If you have experienced any of these compromises, a Mobile Proxy is the solution.

For the investigation team at Axeten, the move away from VPN connections to Mobile Proxy connections has been a game changer
