Instagram won't tell you - check your Insights to see the damage.
Instagram assigns trust scores to IP addresses. If you're using a consumer VPN or shared network, your IP might be associated with spam bots, fake accounts, or previous violations. Low trust = low reach.
Popular VPNs like NordVPN and ExpressVPN have their IP ranges flagged by Instagram. They know these IPs are shared by millions of users, including spammers and bot operators.
After years of bot problems, Meta (Instagram's parent) is extremely aggressive about limiting accounts on suspicious IPs. It's guilty until proven innocent - and proving innocence is nearly impossible.
YourVPN gives you a clean IP that Instagram's algorithm trusts. Max 100 users per server keeps your IP reputation spotless.
"My Reels went from 500 views to 50k after switching. I didn't change anything about my content - just my IP. Mind blown."
"I was convinced I'd been shadowbanned for months. Tried everything. New IP with YourVPN and suddenly my posts are in hashtags again."
"Explore page reach went from 0% to 40% of my impressions. This was the missing piece. Wish I'd found it sooner."
An Instagram shadowban limits your content's visibility without notifying you. Your posts won't appear in hashtag searches or the Explore page for non-followers, but you can still post normally. It's a silent penalty that destroys your reach.
Check your Insights and look at "Reach" and "Accounts reached from hashtags." If hashtag reach is near zero but you're using relevant hashtags, you're likely shadowbanned. Also ask a non-follower to search a hashtag you used - if your post doesn't appear, you're shadowbanned.
Content-based shadowbans typically last 2-4 weeks. IP-based restrictions can last indefinitely. If you've been "shadowbanned" for months despite following all the rules, your IP is probably the issue - and changing it with YourVPN can provide immediate relief.
A dedicated VPN like YourVPN can significantly help if your current IP is flagged. Consumer VPNs often make things worse because their IPs are heavily flagged. YourVPN's limited user policy (max 100 per server) keeps IPs clean and trusted.
Yes! Reels distribution is heavily affected by IP reputation. If your Reels aren't being pushed to the Explore page or Reels tab, a clean IP can make a dramatic difference. Many creators see immediate improvement in Reels performance after switching.
