Help me with connection aborted error

[designforhuman]

About 200 likes I get this connection error. I'm using VPN (SurfShark) with rotating IP, no proxy settings in the code. I set at least 30 seconds interval between each likes. What should I fix?

You have a bad connection that aborts on Surfshark or Instagram

[designforhuman]

@adw0rd Thanks. Then it might be because of the VPN. Could you recommend a Proxy other than the one recommended in the API doc since it's too expensive for personal use.

@designforhuman I don't know cheaper
