Mobile proxy FAQ
Short, clear answers to common questions about mobile proxies: how they beat server ones, how the IP rotates, which carriers are supported and how to make your own channel on Android.
Why are mobile proxies better than server ones?
A mobile IP belongs to a carrier and is shared by thousands of live subscribers, so banning it is costly for the platform. Server proxies are easy to spot by their data center.
How does a mobile proxy change its IP?
By link or API: the carrier issues a new address from its pool. Handy before each new account.
Which carriers are supported?
Major mobile carriers and many regions. You choose the carrier and region for the task.
HTTP or SOCKS5?
Channels come in both. For antidetect browsers and software people usually take SOCKS5.
Can I make my own proxy instead of buying?
Yes — an Android app and an unlimited SIM turn a phone into a personal mobile proxy. Spare channels can be sold on the marketplace.
