Using Proxy (private; dedicated) vs using a vpn (also private) to bot? What's the difference? If any. Also, does it matter if it uses multiple subnets or not?

Differences, basically none to the outside observer.

what's the advantage of the VPN then? And who else is interested in my IP address than the outside observer?

Thanks! Btw, which programs do you use to use Proxy? I know some can't handle Java. What about Proxifier?

Well better to use VPN its more secure then proxy in VPN you can get multiple IPs and servers so you can easily use it to bot.. I would suggest bestvpnservice.com here you can see the difference of vpn and proxy and can find the best vpn service provider as well..

More secure? Hardly, also you can have multiple proxy IP's, same as with VPN.

If you use VPN, you need a VM per bot you run.

If you use a proxy, you can tie one client to one IP, and other clients to other IP's. I believe Proxifier would be a good pick for that purpose.

If you want 100% anonymity you should choose a VPN provider who offers features like DNS leak protection, blocking the internet connection if disconnected from the VPN server and anonymous payment methods (e.g. bitcoin, cash). In addition to the website mentioned above there is another site with a good overview of VPN-providers: bestvpnprovider.net

Don't bother with either - they do nothing. Complete waste of time and money, Jagex doesn't even use IP addresses to ban accounts.

Not sure how important IPs are when usually you can just unplug your router. The problem is that they use hardware bans so you would have to change your HWID.

If you want this for botting purposes instead I would reccomend renting a VPS - (Virtual Private Server) and running bots from there, you can get a new HWID, IP and 24 hour uptime - You can even control the server from your phone.

Proxy is a server that acts as a connecting location and allows network service to connect to other services in the network cloud. It could be responsible for processing your request to connect to a file, webpage or any other service while the proxy server itself could be located anywhere in the world. A VPN network creates a secure connection over a public network such as a public telecommunication infrastructure, that is, the internet being one of the most important requirements of our daily lives. The encryption for such a connection is provided by using algorithms for having security and the establishment of a reliable connection which is not possible in the case of a proxy server…….
