### Generate new accounts
This is the hardest part. They tend to ban easily.
We suggest you to use a catchall and use residential proxies. As of now this is the only thing that works better. You can experience this high ban rate also trying to generate your accounts manually.
### Monitoring
Even there, residentials are the way to monitor. You can try your ISPs or DCs but they will be banned quite easily.
### Example taskfile
