Developed by Google to make data exchange between the user and the server more secure and faster, the QUIC protocol is also preferred by leading platforms such as Instagram.

QUIC Protocol on Instagram

As of version 330, Instagram began supporting the QUIC protocol in addition to its standard connection method. As a result, communication on compatible devices is established over QUIC instead of HTTP/1.1.

The Importance of the QUIC Protocol in IGTOOL

Instagram can monitor every interaction and device characteristic of its users, blocking requests that fall outside its algorithm. For this reason, the QUIC protocol has been integrated into IGTOOL v1v1.4 to ensure full compatibility with Instagram’s algorithms.

Our tests have shown that operations performed under conditions where the QUIC protocol is active can reach significantly higher limits. By contrast, those using the classic protocol run out of limits much faster. Therefore, we strongly recommend that IGTOOL users make use of the QUIC protocol.

How to Enable the QUIC Protocol?

In IGTOOL v1v1.4, simply check the box at the bottom right corner of the application to enable the QUIC protocol. However, you must first follow these steps:

In the “Logged In Accounts” tab, right-click on your account and choose “Change Device ID.”
Then, in the “Add New Account” tab, uncheck the “Use New Login System” box and log in with your username and password.

Points to Consider

You must perform the “Change Device ID” action before using the QUIC protocol.
During login, you must disable the “Use New Login System” option.
The QUIC protocol does not support the HTTP(s) proxy structure. Make sure your proxy is compatible with the QUIC protocol; otherwise, your connection will fail and you will receive an error.

Conclusion

Thanks to this innovation introduced with IGTOOL v1v1.4, you can increase your transaction limits on Instagram and act in harmony with the platform’s algorithms. By enabling the QUIC protocol, you can easily take advantage of these benefits.
