Mobile proxies are real IP addresses of mobile operators. Traffic goes through a modem connected to the cellular network in the selected country, so to the site, you appear as a regular smartphone user. Among all formats, mobile addresses have the highest level of trust.
What you choose when ordering
“Select service type” — tariff: “Dedicated” means the operator's channel is only yours, “Shared” means the channel is shared among several clients and is cheaper.
“Location” — country and region.
“Choose carrier” — the mobile operator whose address you will receive.
“Rotation” — how your IP address will change.
The entire ordering process is described in the article How to place an order for Mobile.
How the address changes
Mobile is a dynamic format: the address is not permanently assigned to you. There are three modes of change — by link, when you change the address yourself at the right moment, and automatically every 5 or every 30 minutes. The mode is selected when ordering and is visible in the “Rotation” column.
More details — in the articles Mobile proxy rotation and Rotation by link: how to change IP manually.
How to connect to it
Each proxy has two of its own ports: the first for HTTP(S), the second for SOCKS5. Mobile does not have a common port number that is the same for all addresses.
You can connect by login and password or by IP address through a whitelist — both methods work simultaneously. The login and password are the same for the entire account: the same for all your orders and all formats. Where to find the address, ports, and login details — in the article Where to find proxies, ports, and authorization data for Mobile.
What you pay for
Payment is for the proxy and the rental period: the traffic volume does not affect the cost. But traffic is not unlimited: the load is limited by the Fair Usage Policy — by default, this is 100 simultaneous connections per address. More details — in the article Fair Usage Policy: what it is and how it works.
What speed to expect
The speed of mobile proxies depends primarily on the operator: on average, it is from 5 to 40 Mbps. If the selected operator supports 5G, the speed can reach 50–130 Mbps.
Three more things affect the final speed: the tariff — on “Dedicated” the channel is not shared with other clients, so it is more stable and faster than “Shared”; the quality of your own internet connection; the distance to the proxy location. The closer the selected country is to you, the lower the latency and the higher the speed — this should be considered when choosing a location.
The 100% Uptime option is not available for Mobile — it is only available for IPv4 and ISP formats.
What happens to the rental period
Three days before the rental expires, the proxy gets the status “Ends”, and the number of them is shown on the “Term ends IP” tile. You can renew manually or enable auto-renewal. If the proxy does not work as needed, you can submit a replacement request.
