DisclaimerThese methods are legal and standard for keeping yourself secure and anonymous online. In no way do I condone any illegal activity. Do the right thing guys!!
Are you tired of being banned for multiaccount on your favorite games or online services? If you are wondering how to stay anonymous and stealthy when creating multiple accounts, read along. Along with your stealth accounts you are establishing a new unique fingerprint with the system. There are many ways that these services are tracking you, especially if you are on a mobile device. If you don’t believe me, take a look at their app permissions. Many, if not all payment processors are taking note of your device ID and even the Google account associated with your phone. On the other hand, you could use a VM on Windows. This is specifically sufficient if you are only a browser-based application Things are pretty straight forward, and you shouldn’t run into any issues.
Android
Using an Android device may be the best option for you if
A) You have an old one (or two, or three!) lying around that could be put to good use.
B) Want a more failsafe and secure housing for your accounts
Picking a Device
You definitely want to use or purchase a device that is easily rootable. I have compiled a list of devices I recommend. Shop in your price range, and xda-developers is your best resource.
Nexus 5 – $50-100
Moto G6 - $50-100
Xiaomi Mi A3 - $100-200
Nokia 2.2 - $80-150
These are the three phones I have personally used for stealth accounts, and I can recommend them. However, the Moto g6 is slightly more difficult on the root process depending on which model you receive, and it has some issues with the xposed framework. I can recommend most if not all Xiaomi phones. Buy your phones used, they are much cheaper.
Rooting your Phone this step is not required if you only plan to use ONE account per company on the device FOREVER
This can be the easiest part for some people, and the most difficult part for others. You are going to need to root your phone in order to change some of the identifiers that apps use to link you to your various profiles. I find it quite rude when guides expect you to know where to begin on how to root an Android if you have never done it before. Yet, forgive me if I don’t do much better. My goal here is to get you on a good start with the process, as it can be different for each phone, however normally is pretty similar if you have a generally supported model.
The first and upmost important site when rooting is xda-developers. Go ahead and find your model’s dedicated forum on the site and look through the guides. To speed up the process, a quick Google search “phone-model how to root xda” should bring you to exactly where you need to be.
For a quick rundown check out this link, it should point you in the right direction an give you plenty of information.
Some key things I’ll go ahead and mention:
• Unlock Developer Options – Settings -> About Phone -> More -> Tap ‘Build Number’ 7 times.
• Enable USB Debugging Settings -> Developer options, and check the ‘USB debugging’ box.
• Enable OEM unlocking: Also under Developer options.
• Everything will be done through ABD or Fastboot pretty much. Make sure you’re using the correct one depending on which mode your phone is currently in.
• Fastboot only works when phone is in fastboot mode. ADB works with USB debugging mode on. If you aren’t getting a response with fastboot commands, you probably aren’t in fastboot mode.
• Install TWRP. Some methods of rooting won’t include this, but you’ll need it later.
Apps and Keeping the Phone Secure
You’ve picked out a phone, and got your root setup along with TWRP installed. Your next steps is getting everything ready to login or setup your payment profiles. You are going to need some identity spoofing apps to help keep you secure.
• Install the xposed-framework with TWRP. You’ll need this for the IMEI changer
• Install Device ID Changer – There are many of these available, this app has an active developer still. If you are having trouble getting the app to work, try their beta version.
• TorGuard – register on their site first, make sure you buy a residential IP.
• When installing apps, do not allow permissions unless it forces you. Always tap “No”.
Accessing your Account
Once you have everything installed, the process is quite easy. The key thing to remember here is to never use the same device ID and IMEI with the same account.
Lastly, never turn your VPN off. Keep your residential IP always running. You can use this IP once for each service you are registering with, but I recommend getting a new residential IP for multiple accounts on the same service.
Windows/PC
If you are operating soley on Windows then I can assume you are using a browser-based service. In ways, this makes things easier, as you don’t have to
Getting Windows & Setting up VM
When setting on PC, you are going to need to use a VM. This is a necessary step because it prevents any accidents from happening and ensures you are keeping your personal stuff away from your stealth account. I recommend Oracle VM. When settings up the VM, you don’t need to allocate many resources.
Along with your VM software, you’ll need a Windows ISO as well. A simple search on popular sites should yield nice results.
Preparing the VM – VPN & Browser
Whether you are using Windows or Android, I still recommend TorGuard with a residential IP. Although, any residential IP provider should work fine.
Don’t use default browser. Download Firefox along with User-Agent-Switcher.
If you are managing multiple accounts, use a different (residential) IP for each account along with a fresh browser installation. Yes, use a fresh browser install for each account. I also recommend changing your user agent. In my case, I actually create a fresh VM for each account. This will ensure you keep everything organized and don’t use the wrong VPN / browser for the wrong account.
