| Storage | 64GB / 128GB | Suggest 128GB for multiple applications |
| Android | Android 11 / 12 | Recommend Android 12 |
IP Configuration
- Shared IP: Multiple instances share the same outbound IP (low cost, suitable for testing)
- Dedicated IP: Each instance has its own dedicated outbound IP (recommended, essential for anti-association)
Important: If you are using this for managing multiple social media or e-commerce accounts, you must choose a dedicated IP, otherwise, the platform may detect account association.

Click “Create Now”. The initialization will take approximately 1-2 minutes. After successful creation, the instance status in the list will show as “Running”.
Connect to the Instance
Click the “Connect” button on the instance card, and the system will open the Android remote desktop in your browser.

- Web browser (Chrome / Edge recommended)
