Max Number of Users on One Computer?

Justin Ghost · #1 10-02-2018

I have a Mac Laptop and have one user for each account I log into.

Do you think putting too many users on one machine is risky?

slokor · #2 10-02-2018

Never found it to be risky.
On my Win7 machine I have well over 400 user accounts - yes more than four hundred. Never had an issue.

Just seen a post where someone was running 30+ on a Mac until they needed to replace it after 5 years, OUCH! :(

Trying to think ahead as well, may do the Portable Browser / Dedicated IP route soon. Trying to educate myself.

Thanks for the quick reply

So with 400 stealth accts, how do you set up bank transfers with that many? Even with 30 it could be challenging.

Thinking of building a machine for all the accounts. Wanted to look into the portable browser / Dedicated IP first though.

For Dedicated IP, I personally use IPBurger myself, it's been working flawlessly for me.

As fasr as computer accounts, there's certainly no limit. I run 30+ on a 10 year old machine.

It isn't risky at all.
But it's neccesary to make a lot of users on a machine? I mean it's the same if you use Fresh IP along with a different user-agent to log into for each account. You can use Multiloginapp which is free.

Just looking into MultiLogin now.

You use IPBurger Fresh IP with MultiLogin?

Trying to figure out the proxy thing now.

Any help would be super appreciated.

I personally use IPBurger VPN. Tested it for 3 months and decided to go for the yearly because of the 52% off.

One viable workaround would be, portable browsers within each user. Then ensure you regularly backup entire drive/pc/mac to an external hard drive.

I heard portable browsers weren't very safe on Mac.

In which case new user accounts, and regular backups to an external hard drive will suffice.

With any form of data, backups are crucial.

I use portable broswers, no linking issues with many accounts.

I make accounts on multiple computers in case they do a banning sweep

Sorry for delay. There's no notifications for quotes

I haven't tried by myself IPBurger but if they give you IP+Port then you should able to add it on MultiLoginApp in the proxy section. It's easy to add it and give you the chance to check if proxy is alive.
If it's a VPN like HideMyAss, PureVPN, IPVanish etc then you can't.

Or if you want to be more careful while logging, use proxifier and set all your connections to go through your proxy. It can be a little confusing and probably get you in problems at first if you don't know how to use it but there are many tutorials where you can learn.

why it should be risky? But it would be a lot of pain to switch everytime the user.
Better use Multiple Firefox portable versions or use tools like Multilogin.

400 accounts.. holy smokes!
