# Account pools > Named account groups with their own proxies and a replacement policy: easy to pick in jobs and to keep projects apart. TeleTraff editorial team · June 20, 2026 · 4 min read - A group of accounts and their proxies - A failed-proxy replacement policy - One account in one pool A pool is a named group of accounts with proxies attached to it. Pools help when there are many accounts: keep projects apart, pick the group you need with one click at launch, and set what to do if a proxy in the pool stops working. ## How to use it - Create a pool: name, description and proxy policy. - Add accounts and assign the pool's proxies to them. - Pick the pool in the account picker when launching modules. ![Account pools screen](https://teletraff.com/modules/shots/en/account-pools.webp) *Pools: counter tiles on top and pool cards with their accounts and proxies.* ## What pools are for When accounts number in the dozens or hundreds, keeping them in one heap is awkward. A pool gathers accounts into a meaningful group: for a specific project, a client, a setup. When launching any module, the account picker has a 'Pools' tab: clicking a pool selects all its ready accounts at once, with no ticking them one by one. ## What a pool holds - 'Name' and 'Description': what the pool is called and what it is for. - 'Proxy policy': what to do if a proxy in the pool stops working. 'Do not change automatically': the panel shows the status and leaves jobs alone until the proxy confirms an error. 'Replace with a free one from the pool': the panel picks a working proxy from the pool itself, optionally the least loaded one. There is deliberately nothing else in the form: a pool is about membership and proxies, not a dozen settings. ## Counters On top is a summary across all accounts: how many pools in total, how many accounts are in pools and without one, how many are ready, how many have problems, and how many proxies. Each pool has its own row of numbers: total, ready, working, warming, problems, proxies. So it is clear at a glance which pool is fine and which needs attention. ## A pool's accounts and proxies - Accounts are added to a pool from the pool itself or with the 'To pool' bulk action in the account manager. One account belongs to exactly one pool: on a move the panel warns and asks for confirmation. - A pool's proxies are spread across its accounts round-robin. One proxy also cannot be in two pools at once, otherwise accounts of different projects would work through one address, which is extra ban risk. - The panel will not let you remove a proxy from a pool while accounts hang on it: first reassign those accounts to another proxy, so no one is left without a way to the network. ## How a pool works at launch At runtime the main thing a pool gives is the proxy replacement policy: in 'Replace with a free one from the pool' mode, if a proxy fails the panel substitutes a working one from the same pool, and the job does not stall. Picking the pool at launch is a way to quickly grab the right group of accounts, not a separate mode: the specific accounts you selected go into the job. ## FAQ **Can an account be in several pools at once?** No, one account belongs to exactly one pool. If you add an account from another pool, the panel warns you and asks to confirm the move. **Why attach proxies to a pool?** So one group's accounts reach the network through their own addresses, and so replacement happens by itself: under the 'Replace with a free one from the pool' policy a failed proxy is swapped for a working one from the same pool, and the job does not stop. **Why can't I remove a proxy from a pool?** The panel does not leave accounts without a proxy. While the pool's accounts hang on a proxy, reassign them to another proxy first, and only then does the proxy free up. **What does 'Replace with a free one from the pool' mean?** It is a policy for when a proxy stops working: the panel itself takes a free working proxy from this pool, optionally the least loaded one. The alternative is 'Do not change automatically', which leaves the decision to you. **Does a module launch 'by pool' as a whole?** Picking a pool at launch is a quick way to select the whole group of ready accounts in the picker. The specific selected accounts go into the job, and the pool just helps grab them in one click.
