Why do you need a global IP?

A global IP is like a mask you wear online. It hides your real IP address (like your network ID) and gives your browser profile a new secret identity. This way, when you use multiple accounts or visit multiple websites, they won't know that this information comes from the same place.

What happens if a global IP is not used?

If you do not use a global IP, your profile will use your real IP, which is the IP provided by your Internet service provider. Here’s what could happen:

All your profiles will appear to come from the same place — this is a major red flag for websites
Websites may think you are trying to cheat or break the rules and may block or ban your account
Websites will be able to track your real location and identity

Can you use a VPN or hotspot?

You can do this, but it's not the best option. The reasons are as follows:

A VPN will change the IP address of your entire internet connection, not just your Multilogin profile. This can cause issues and information leaks.
Hotspots (such as using your phone's internet) can work, but they are usually slow and unstable, making it difficult to run multiple profiles at the same time.
Neither option gives you the same control as the global IP within Multilogin.

Why is a global IP better?

Each profile has its own unique IP – no confusion
Global IP works only within Multilogin, so your other applications remain normal
You can easily choose IPs from different countries or cities
They handle a large number of profiles more quickly and reliably
