HWID and Dofus Retro: Understanding machine fingerprinting and multi-accounting
Updated on 8/19/2026
IP addresses aren't the only link between your accounts: your machine itself has a fingerprint. Understanding what HWID is — and what it reveals — is essential before running multiple accounts on the same PC.
What is an HWID?
The HWID (hardware ID) is an identifier derived from your machine's components: network card, hard drive, motherboard. Two accounts connecting with the same HWID are seen by a server as two accounts on the same machine — even if each uses a proxy.
It complements the IP address in account association: different IP but identical machine, the link remains visible.
HWID spoofing for multi-accounting
On mono-account servers, only one connection per machine is allowed. HWID spoofing presents a distinct machine fingerprint per session: combined with a dedicated proxy per account, each session appears as an independent player — their own machine, their own address.
WGPanel integrates per-session HWID spoofing into multi-account management, without virtual machines or a second PC. This is the difference compared to VM-based solutions, which are heavy on memory and CPU.
What HWID does not hide
- •Behavior: two "players" taking the exact same paths at the same times remain suspicious
- •Economic ties: repeated trades of items or kamas between your accounts
- •The main account: play it on its usual fingerprint and IP, never in the bot environment
Frequently asked questions
Is changing your HWID sufficient without a proxy?
No. HWID and IP are two independent links between accounts: you must isolate both. Different machine + different address = truly independent sessions.
Do I need a virtual machine per account?
No, that is precisely what per-session HWID spoofing avoids. A VM per account consumes gigabytes of RAM; integrated multi-accounting runs dozens of sessions on a single machine.
