Has anyone tried the 'reddit Instagram ban device'? Does it actually work to bypass bans?

i tried the reddit instagram ban device thing last month after my account got banned for “violating community guidelines” (lol sure). it worked for like a week, but then insta caught on and i got perma-banned. so yeah, it’s risky. if you’re gonna go for it, maybe use a burner account first to test it out. also, check out sites like hide.me or cyberghost for similar tools.
