 2. Run `npm run creator` for prompts, or add `-y` plus a recovery email for faster setup.
 3. Let new accounts rest for a few weeks before earning points.
 
+### Use a proxy for creation (recommended)
+- One-off CLI flag: `npm run creator -- --proxy=http://user:pass@host:port -y you@example.com "<full referral url>"`
+- Or env var (keeps credentials out of shell history): `CREATOR_PROXY_URL=http://user:pass@host:port npm run creator -- -y you@example.com`
+- Each run now uses a unique session ID and does not persist fingerprints, so pair this with a residential/ISP proxy per account.
+
+### Anti-detection tips for fresh accounts
+- After creation, stay logged in for 2-3 minutes, browse Outlook/OneDrive/Bing manually, then sign out.
+- Do not run Rewards immediately; wait 48–72 hours, ideally 5–7 days, before first earn.
+- Use a recovery email you control and enable 2FA during creation.
+- Keep IP/region/timezone consistent between creation and the first Rewards run.
+- Space creations: at least 5–10 minutes between accounts; avoid bursts of many in one day.
+
 ## Example
 ```bash
 npm run creator -- -y backup@example.com
