Egress is the address a request leaves from. On the Premium plan we sign in to LinkedIn on your behalf, so by default LinkedIn sees our address rather than yours — and the country that address is in is a setting, because a sign-in from an unexpected country is the single most reliable way to be asked for extra verification.
When to bring your own
- The account already signs in from a residential address LinkedIn has seen for years.
- It signs in from a company network LinkedIn associates with it.
- A compliance rule says whose infrastructure the credentials may cross.
Both connect routes take a proxy. It is mutually exclusive with the country setting, on purpose: naming a country asks us to pick an exit, naming a proxy picks one outright, and sending both would leave the tie-break to somebody else.
One address, not a new one each time
The instinct from scraping is to rotate: a fresh address per request, so nothing can be tied together. That is the wrong instinct here, and it is worth saying plainly because it is the most common mistake people bring with them.
You are not trying to be anonymous. You are signing in as a specific person who has a history, and a person does not appear from a different city every twenty minutes. Pick one address, in the right country, and keep it.
No proxy makes automation undetectable, and none prevents a restriction. What a well-chosen address does is stop you looking like a different person every morning.
