It all depends on the quality of the proxy, if any proxies are already used to work with Instagram, then most likely Instagram will require authorization |

Describe the bug
i'm trying to get profile info (specifically the bio) of around a 1000 instagram accounts on a daily basis. using this (awesome nonetheless) library without login results in an immediate
401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url
error. weither i run it locally on the cloud. it seems i can't do much without having to login.i've tried using ISP proxies from Bright Data using the set_proxy method, but still requires me to login.
i'm wondering if using mobile proxies from Bright Data would allow me to get the public data desired without having to use accounts and having to login?
Thanks!
To Reproduce
a basic snippet
`from instagrapi import Client
cl = Client()
print(cl.user_info_by_username('therock').dict())`
