It’s Finally Here! OS Filtering, We Mean
What’s a mobile proxy?
Let’s start from the basics. A mobile proxy is a type of proxy server that accepts and forwards your connection requests to a target website and returns you public data. Mobile IP addresses come from real mobile devices that are connected to a mobile carrier and run on a mobile network.
What’s OS filtering?
OS filtering is a feature that allows you to choose between iOS and Android operating systems during proxy setup, using a dedicated pool of 200K+ worldwide mobile IPs allocated specifically for this targeting option. We recommend using OS filtering for the following:
- Ads verification;
- Protection against ads fraud;
- Multiple accounts management.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between mobile and residential proxies?
Mobile IPs must come from mobile devices that run specifically on mobile networks, whereas a residential IP may come from a desktop or mobile device connected to Wi-Fi. Mobile proxy is prone to get blocked; however, as it’s hard to get mobile IPs on cellular connections, their bandwidth is more expensive than residential IPs.
Where can I use mobile proxies?
You can use mobile proxies for almost everything; however, due to the high success rates, we recommend using it for:
- Multiple accounts management & automation;
- Ads management & automation;
- Market intelligence;
- App testing.
