⚡ Multi-Endpoint vs. Proxies

In version 2.4.0+, the "Multi-Endpoint" feature significantly reduces the need for proxies by automatically switching between dozens of Google mirrors.

• Enable this in Settings to get the best out-of-the-box experience without a proxy list.

💡 Tips to Avoid Bans

• Increase Delay: Set "Request Delay" to 1.0s - 2.0s.
• Smaller Batches: Reduce "Batch Size" to 50-100.
• VPN: Use a high-quality system-wide VPN.
• AI Providers: Engines like Gemini and OpenAI handle high volume much better when using an API key.
