Gologin plans include a proxy traffic allowance measured in gigabytes (GB). This is the volume of data that passes through the proxy while your profiles browse — not disk space or RAM.

​
What counts as traffic

Every time a GoLogin profile sends or receives data through the proxy, it uses traffic. This includes:
  • Loading web pages and images
  • Watching videos or content
  • Submitting forms
  • Running automation scripts
Traffic is only counted when you use Gologin’s own built-in proxy network. If you connect a third-party proxy to a profile, that traffic does not count against your Gologin allowance.

​
Rough estimates by use case

Use caseEstimated traffic per profile
LinkedIn browsing and outreach (2 hrs/day)0.3–0.5 GB / month
Facebook / Instagram browsing (2 hrs/day)0.5–1 GB / month
Facebook Ads management (active work)1–2 GB / month
Crypto platforms, wallet interactions0.1–0.3 GB / month
Web scraping (light, text-only pages)0.5–2 GB / month
Web scraping (media-heavy pages)2–5 GB / month
E-commerce (Amazon, eBay browsing)0.5–1.5 GB / month
These are estimates. Actual usage depends on how much time profiles are active, how media-heavy the sites are, and whether automation is running.

​
Quick calculation

Formula: number of profiles × GB per profile per month = total GB needed Examples:
ScenarioProfilesGB/profile/monthTotal needed
5 LinkedIn accounts, light use50.4 GB~2 GB
10 Facebook Ads accounts101.5 GB~15 GB
20 crypto wallets, occasional use200.2 GB~4 GB
30 e-commerce accounts301 GB~30 GB

I bought GB-based proxies from another provider — what does that mean?

Some proxy providers sell traffic in GB (like GoLogin does), while others sell by number of IP addresses or by time period. If you’re used to buying IPs rather than GB, here’s how to think about it: A GB-based proxy gives you a fixed volume of data to use across any IP in the pool. You’re paying for bandwidth, not for a specific address. If you need a fixed IP that never changes (required for Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn, and most financial platforms), you need a static proxy — typically sold as a monthly subscription per IP, not by GB.

​
What happens when traffic runs out

When your Gologin proxy traffic allowance is used up, profiles that use Gologin’s built-in proxies will stop being able to connect through those proxies. You’ll see a connection error. To avoid interruptions:
  • Monitor your usage in the Gologin dashboard
  • Top up your proxy balance before it runs out
  • Consider using third-party proxies for high-traffic accounts (they don’t consume your Gologin allowance)

​
Using third-party proxies instead

If you’re managing accounts that require consistent, dedicated IPs — or you need more traffic than your plan includes — connect your own proxy from a third-party provider. Third-party proxies are added in profile settings and do not affect your Gologin traffic balance at all. See Adding a proxy to a profile and Recommended proxy providers.
