Create an account
Sign up with Discord OAuth. Takes 30 seconds.

Subscribe to Basic ($15/mo per license)
Get your license key from the dashboard. Add more licenses anytime at $15/mo each.

Set up your hardware
Windows 10/11 PC or mini PC. Use VNC for remote access (not RDP — it blocks automation). 1080p preferred, 720p minimum.

Set up IP diversity
Each instance needs a unique residential IP. Use Tailscale exit nodes at friends/family locations with cheap SBCs (Pi 3-5, Orange Pi Zero 3), or get static IPs from your ISP.

Install the desktop client
Download, enter your server URL and license key. The client activates and starts polling for drops automatically.
- 6
Enter payment info locally
Card details are entered directly into the desktop client on your device. We never store your credit card info for Basic — it stays on your machine.

Client Hardware
The desktop client automates mouse movements and keyboard input to navigate the website, solve captchas, and complete checkout. A completely separate Windows machine dedicated to the client is the safest and highest-probability way to get orders without losing control of your main PC. PCs must be set to not turn off displays, lock, or sleep.
Dedicated Mini PC
RecommendedBeelink, Intel NUC
Best balance of cost and performance. Requires an HDMI/DisplayPort dummy plug (~$10) to render at 1080p headless.
Old desktop/laptop
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist
Any Windows 10/11 machine works. Requires an HDMI/DisplayPort dummy plug (~$10) for headless 1080p. Dedicated hardware is safer than running on your daily driver.
Important: Use VNC, not RDP
RDP blocks our automation from controlling the mouse and keyboard. Use VNC instead — it mirrors the physical display and works normally. Resolution: 1080p preferred, 720p minimum.
IP Strategy
Commercial residential proxies
Low success rateIPs from services like Bright Data and Oxylabs are more often than not marked as bot traffic from my testing. Strongly recommend Tailscale exit nodes or static IPs instead.
Install Tailscale + a cheap SBC at a friend or family member's house. Each location gives you a clean residential IP. Tailscale is free — you just need the hardware (see below).
*Tailscale software is free. Hardware cost is separate.
Static IPs from ISP
Contact your ISP about a small business plan with static IP blocks. Requires additional routing hardware (managed switch or multi-WAN router).
IP Strategy: Supporting Hardware
Cheap devices you place at different locations to serve as Tailscale exit nodes, giving each bot instance a unique residential IP.
Raspberry Pi 4/5
RecommendedAs Tailscale exit node
Great for IP diversity at remote locations (friends, family)
Orange Pi Zero 3
RecommendedAs Tailscale exit node
Cheapest option for exit nodes
Old computer/laptop
Any device with Ethernet
Run Tailscale on any spare device at a different location
