If you are looking to setup your own Kijiji Proxy then you may want to give some thought to getting IPs from C class IP ranges. It isn't a topic that is discussed often, but by not making sure you are using IPs on your proxy server from different C class IP ranges you are opening the door to be blocked by Craiglsist.
IPs are seperated into four ranges, A B C and D. Ranges are used to keep track of and log the network and ID of the network. Everytime you connect to the internet you are given an IP which identifies you online. Disconnecting your computer from the internet and reconnecting typically gives you a different IP, but more often than not it is still within the same IP range. This allows companies and other people to more easily identify your activities as even after changing your IP, it hasn't changed enough so that one could make assumptions or try and track patterns of activity between your new and old IP. Kijiji could potentially use a setup that tracks IP activity to find similarities between IPs online and stop unwanted spam. If you wish to remain anonymous to Kijiji then C class IP ranges for your proxy server should help you to do so.
As already stated above, using IPs in the same C class IP range may make it possible for Kijiji to detect your activity even though you could be using several different accounts (since your new IP isn't varied enough from the old one to make you look like a completely different user). This very same concept of using different C class IP ranges applies to proxy servers and is something you should pay great attention to. Typically, IPs that are assigned to proxy servers are normally within the same C class range, this is something you should try to avoid. Remaining anonymous is very important for anyone posting ads in quantity on Kijiji, so be sure to get a Kijiji Proxy with IPs in different C class IP ranges.
