Add and sign in X accounts

Add proxies, add an X account to a VPS, sign it in through Remote view, and understand its browser profile and test mode.

Before you start

  • A paired VPS (see VPS & agent).
  • One proxy for each X account. A proxy belongs to one X account at a time.
  • Only add your own X accounts, or X accounts whose owners have allowed you to use them.

Add proxies

  1. Go to Proxy → Add proxies.
  2. Paste one proxy per line. The dialog shows how each line was read before you add them.
  3. Add them, then use Check all (or check selected ones) to test them.

What a failed check means:

Message Meaning What to do
Can’t connect to the proxy. The proxy didn't answer. Check that it hasn't expired and that the address and port are right.
The proxy rejected the username or password. Wrong proxy credentials. Fix the username or password.
Incorrect proxy type (HTTP or SOCKS5). The proxy speaks the other protocol. Change the type.
Pin mismatch: expected …, measured … The proxy now exits from a different IP or location than the one its X account was set up with. Fix the proxy so it exits where it did before, then check again. The X account waits until then.

A proxy problem is not an X account problem: the X account's jobs simply wait with Proxy error or IP changed until the proxy passes its check.

Add one X account

  1. Go to X accounts → Add X account.
  2. VPS — choose the machine that will run this X account.
  3. Proxy — choose an unused proxy.
  4. Details — enter an Account label (a name for you, not the @handle), the X account age and the Time zone the account normally lives in.
  5. Browser profile — review the profile X-Buddy created for this X account, then add it.

To add many X accounts from a file, use Bulk import X accounts — see Import X accounts in bulk.

The browser profile

Every X account gets exactly one browser profile (fingerprint) when it is added. It is stored by X-Buddy, matches the proxy's location and the time zone you chose, and never changes or rotates — every time Chrome opens for this X account, it looks like the same device. Two X accounts never share a profile, so several X accounts on one VPS don't look like one machine.

Test mode (no proxy)

Test mode (no proxy) lets an X account use the VPS's own network. It is meant for trying X-Buddy out. Don't use it for real X accounts: they would all share the VPS's IP.

Sign in through Remote view

  1. Open the X account and choose Open Remote view. You see this X account's Chrome on your VPS, live, inside X-Buddy.
  2. Type the X username and password into the page yourself.
  3. If X asks for a 2FA code or other verification, complete it yourself. Paste text (2FA code…) pastes text into the remote page.
  4. When X's home page appears, X-Buddy detects the sign-in and saves the handle and profile photo.

While Remote view is open, automated jobs for this X account wait (Remote viewing active). Other X accounts keep working. Close Remote view when you're finished.

Remote view is encrypted per session (AES-GCM), and the X-Buddy server creates the session key — so the server can know it. It is not end-to-end encrypted. Everything you see and type in Remote view, including passwords, travels this way.

X-Buddy never solves captchas or X verification for you. If X shows one during automated work, the X account stops with Verification required and you finish it in Remote view.

X Chat passcode

X's encrypted chat (X Chat) asks for a passcode. An Owner or Manager can save it for an X account in the X account's Inbox tab; it is stored encrypted and never shown again. With it, X-Buddy unlocks X Chat by itself before sending messages. If X says the saved passcode is wrong, X-Buddy stops trying (so X Chat doesn't lock) until someone enters the right one. Without a saved passcode, unlock X Chat yourself in Remote view.
