brooo, i feel ur pain. this challenge required instagram bs is the worst. i tried the VPN thing and it actually worked for me, but i get why u think it’s sketchy. if u wanna try it, use a trusted one like NordVPN or ExpressVPN.
also, double-check ur email linked to the account. sometimes insta sends a verification link there and u might’ve missed it.
