How to reduce proxy data consumption on Crane with 20 Instagram/Facebook containers?
Hey everyone, hoping someone here has experience with this.
I'm currently running 20 containers on Instagram and Facebook using Crane, with MarsProxy residential proxies (1 proxy per account). The problem is I'm burning through about 10GB per week which is getting pretty costly.
I'm looking for any tips on how to reduce bandwidth consumption, specifically:
- Is there a way to block media (images/videos) from loading inside Crane containers?
- Can I adjust polling or refresh intervals to reduce unnecessary requests?
- Is there a sleep/idle schedule I can set per container during off-hours?
- Would switching some accounts from residential to ISP proxies help without increasing ban risk?
Any settings, workarounds, or general advice would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
