๐ŸŽฏ Advanced Methods and Hidden Tricks: Exclusive Techniques for 2025

These methods are used by professional players and streamers to achieve maximum performance and competitive advantages. Some techniques are little known to the general audience.

1. Proxy Chaining for Multi-Accounting

๐Ÿ”— What is a Proxy Chain?

This is a technique of connecting sequentially through several proxy servers for maximum anonymity and bypassing advanced multi-account detection systems.

Connection Scheme:

Your Device โ†’ Proxy 1 (Mobile, RU) โ†’ Proxy 2 (Residential, EU) โ†’ Game Server

Advantages:

  • Maximum anonymity โ€” the game server sees the IP of the second proxy
  • Double protection against tracking
  • Ability to combine proxy types for optimal performance
  • Practically impossible to link accounts to each other

โš™๏ธ Setting up a Proxy Chain via Proxifier

  1. Install Proxifier: Download from the official website (31-day trial)
  2. Adding the First Proxy:
    • Profile โ†’ Proxy Servers โ†’ Add
    • Address: Proxy IP from ProxyCove
    • Port: Proxy port
    • Protocol: SOCKS5 or HTTP
    • Enable Authentication and enter login/password
  3. Adding the Second Proxy: Repeat the process for the second proxy
  4. Creating the Chain:
    • In the proxy server list, select the first proxy
    • Click "Advanced" โ†’ "Chain"
    • Add the second proxy to the chain
    • Order: Your PC โ†’ Proxy 1 โ†’ Proxy 2 โ†’ Internet
  5. Creating Rules:
    • Profile โ†’ Proxification Rules โ†’ Add
    • Applications: select the Android emulator or the specific application
    • Action: select the created proxy chain
  6. Testing: Check the IP via an IP checker website โ€” the IP of the second proxy should be displayed

โš ๏ธ Important Nuances of Proxy Chains

  • Each proxy in the chain adds 10-30 ms to the ping
  • Use no more than 2-3 proxies in a chain for gaming
  • The first proxy should be geographically close to you
  • The last proxy should be close to the game server
  • Traffic consumption is multiplied by the number of proxies in the chain

2. Dynamic IP Rotation for Restriction Bypass

Automatic IP address change on a schedule or under specific conditions helps bypass temporary bans, rate-limiting, and other restrictions imposed by game servers.

๐Ÿ”„ Methods for Automatic IP Rotation

Method 1: Rotation via ProxyCove API

If ProxyCove provides an API for IP rotation, use automation:

# Python script for automatic rotation every 10 minutes

import requests

import time

API_KEY = "your_proxycove_api_key"

ROTATE_URL = "https://api.proxycove.com/rotate"

while True:

response = requests.post(ROTATE_URL, headers={"Authorization": API_KEY})

print(f"IP rotated: {response.json()['new_ip']}")

time.sleep(600) # 10 minutes

Method 2: Using Mobile Proxies with Automatic Rotation

Mobile proxies from ProxyCove automatically change IP every 3-10 minutes. Configure the optimal interval:

  • For regular gaming: 10-15 minutes (minimal suspicion)
  • For multi-accounting: 5-7 minutes (quick switching between accounts)
  • For ban bypass: 3-5 minutes (maximum frequency)

Method 3: Manual Rotation via Proxy Manager

Create a pool of several proxies and switch between them manually or by timer.

Recommended Tool: Proxy Switcher and Manager

  • Support for unlimited proxies
  • Automatic switching on schedule
  • Proxy health check
  • Profiles for different applications

3. Split Tunneling โ€” Selective Proxying

An advanced technique that allows routing only game traffic through the proxy, while all other traffic (Discord, YouTube, browser) goes directly. This reduces traffic consumption and improves overall performance.

โš™๏ธ Setting up Split Tunneling

For Android (using VPN applications):

  1. Install Shadowsocks or another VPN application with Split Tunneling support
  2. In settings, find "Per-App Proxy" or "Split Tunneling"
  3. Select "Only selected apps use VPN"
  4. Check only Standoff 2 in the application list
  5. All other applications will use the regular connection

For Emulators (BlueStacks, LDPlayer):

  1. Use Proxifier on PC
  2. Create a rule only for the emulator process
  3. All other PC traffic goes directly

๐Ÿ’ฐ Traffic Savings: Split Tunneling can reduce traffic consumption by 60-80%, as only game traffic (2-5 MB/hour) passes through the proxy, not all device traffic (50-200 MB/hour).

4. Fingerprint Protection for Multi-Accounting

Modern anti-fraud systems analyze not only the IP address but also the device's digital fingerprint. For secure multi-accounting, you need to alter this fingerprint.

๐Ÿ” Components of the Digital Fingerprint

  • Device ID (IMEI, Android ID): Unique device identifier
  • MAC Address: Physical address of the network adapter
  • Screen Resolution: Screen resolution
  • Fonts: Installed fonts
  • Timezone: System timezone
  • Language: System language
  • User-Agent: Browser/application information
  • Canvas/WebGL fingerprint: Graphics engine data

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tools for Changing Fingerprint

For Android (Root Required):

1. Device ID Changer (Application)

  • Changes Android ID, IMEI, Serial Number
  • Can save multiple profiles
  • Automatic application on game launch

2. Lucky Patcher + Xposed Framework

  • Modifying applications at the system level
  • Changing permissions and identifiers
  • Creating application clones with different IDs

For PC Emulators:

BlueStacks Multi-Instance Manager

  • Creating multiple emulator instances
  • Each instance = unique Device ID
  • Different Android versions for each instance
  • Setting unique parameters (resolution, DPI, device model)

5. Traffic Routing Optimization (Advanced Routing)

A professional technique for minimizing ping by selecting the optimal packet routing path from your device to the game server.

๐Ÿš€ Routing Optimization Methods

1. Using BGP Anycast Proxies

BGP Anycast automatically directs your traffic to the nearest proxy server in the network:

  • Minimal latency โ€” always connecting to the nearest point
  • Automatic failover if routing issues occur
  • 20-40% ping reduction compared to standard proxies

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Check with ProxyCove if they support BGP Anycast for their proxy servers.

2. Custom DNS Routing

Configuring a DNS server with optimized routing for game servers:

# Example configuration via dnscrypt-proxy

server_names = ['cloudflare', 'google']

fallback_resolver = '1.1.1.1:53'

netprobe_timeout = 60

cache = true

cache_size = 4096

3. QoS (Quality of Service) Prioritization

At the router or system level, you can prioritize game traffic:

  • Prioritizing UDP traffic (used in games)
  • Limiting background traffic (updates, torrents)
  • Reserving at least 50% of the channel for the game

๐Ÿ’ฐ Traffic Consumption and Cost Optimization: Detailed Analysis

Using proxies requires an understanding of security issues. Proper configuration will not only protect your account from bans but also provide additional protection for your personal data.

Rules for Safe Proxy Use in Standoff 2

โš ๏ธ Top 10 Mistakes Leading to Account Bans

  1. Frequent IP changes within one session โ€” do not change IP more often than once every 10 minutes
  2. Using cheap public proxies โ€” they are banned in most games
  3. Abrupt change of geolocation โ€” do not switch from Russia to the USA in 5 minutes
  4. Simultaneous login from multiple IPs โ€” log in from only one proxy at a time
  5. Using one proxy for multiple accounts โ€” one proxy per account
  6. Ignoring the time zone โ€” the device time must match the proxy geolocation
  7. Forgetting to disable GPS โ€” real geolocation must not contradict the IP
  8. Using VPN + Proxy simultaneously โ€” choose only one
  9. Transferring an account between devices via proxy โ€” maintain device consistency
  10. Aggressive behavior immediately after IP change โ€” adapt gradually

Security Checklist Before Starting the Game

โœ… Pre-Game Check (Mandatory Every Time)

โ–ก IP Address Check

Visit whoer.net or 2ip.ru and ensure the proxy IP is displayed

โ–ก WebRTC Leak Check

Use browserleaks.com/webrtc โ€” your real IP should not be visible

โ–ก DNS Check

dnsleaktest.com โ€” DNS servers should match the proxy geolocation

โ–ก GPS Disablement

Settings โ†’ Location โ†’ Off (or Mock Location for emulation)

โ–ก Timezone Synchronization

Set the timezone of the proxy country (GMT+3 for Russia)

โ–ก Closing Background Applications

Close all applications that might reveal your geolocation

โ–ก Checking Proxy Stability

Run ping and ensure latency is stable (less than 50 ms)

Additional Security Measures

๐Ÿ” Two-Factor Authentication

Be sure to enable 2FA for your Standoff 2 account and related services (Google, Apple ID).

  • Google Authenticator
  • Authy (with backup)
  • SMS Codes (less reliable)

๐Ÿ“ง Unique Emails for Each Account

Use different email addresses for each game account when multi-accounting.

  • Gmail aliases (name+1@gmail.com)
  • Temporary emails (temp-mail.org)
  • Separate accounts

๐Ÿ”’ Traffic Encryption

Ensure the proxy uses an encrypted connection (HTTPS, SOCKS5 with TLS).

  • Protection against data interception
  • Hiding game traffic from the ISP
  • Protection of authentication data

๐Ÿ“ฑ Account Isolation

When multi-accounting, isolate accounts on different devices or emulator profiles.

  • Separate BlueStacks instances
  • Parallel Space on Android
  • Different physical devices (ideal)

What to Do If Your Account is Banned

๐Ÿšจ Action Plan in Case of a Ban

  1. Don't Panic: Most initial bans are temporary (24-72 hours)
  2. Check the Reason: Log into Standoff 2 support and clarify the reason for the ban
  3. Change Proxy: Your proxy IP might have ended up on a blacklist
  4. Change Device ID: Use tools to change the digital fingerprint
  5. Wait it Out: Do not try to bypass the ban immediately โ€” it will worsen the situation
  6. Contact Support: Politely explain the situation, mentioning the use of proxies to reduce ping
  7. Create a New Account (Last Resort): With a new Device ID and a proxy from a different subnet
