What is a mobile proxy?
A mobile proxy is an intermediary server connecting you and a target. It operates using an IP address coming from mobile phones or tablets connected to a mobile network. Thanks to their origin, anti-bot systems treat mobile proxies as real users and are harder to track and block.

How to set up mobile proxies
Choose a subscription
After creating your account, you’ll need to purchase a plan on the dashboard. Select from a wide range of subscription options, or if you have a one-off project, choose the Pay As You Go option and pay only for the traffic you use.
Authenticate with username:password
In the Authentication tab, you’ll see that your first proxy user is created automatically. To delete it, click the three dots next to your username, select Edit user, Remove user, and Confirm.
To create a new user, click Create user. You can enter a custom username, while the password will be generated automatically.
Authenticate by whitelisting IPs
In the Authentication tab, click on Whitelisted IPs. Then, select Add IP, enter an IP manually, and click Save. Alternatively, you can add your current IP by simply pressing + Add.
Please note that we only support IPv4 format IPs. Ensure the IP you're adding is yours, and you’re not using a proxy or VPN service.
To name your whitelisted IP, click on the three dots and Edit IP. Select the edit icon next to Name, type in any name, and save it. To remove an IP, click the trash bin icon and Confirm.
Add a traffic limit
To set a traffic limit for a user, click on the three dots, Edit user, and Add traffic limit. Input an amount of GBs the user won’t be able to exceed, and click Save.
Select parameters
Navigate to the Proxy setup tab. Select a user (if you have more than one), and then you’ll be able to customize your proxy parameters.
Under the location menu, opt for "Random," to select IPs from our pools randomly, or choose a specific country or city.
Then, select an ASN and operating system from the corresponding menus, or leave them on "Random."
Under the session type menu, choose sticky sessions and keep the same IP until the session expires (1, 10, 30, 60 minutes or a custom value of up to 24 hours) or rotating sessions to change IP with each new request.
Next, choose your preferred protocol. Our mobile proxies support connections using HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and endpoint:port configuration.
You can enter a number of endpoints you’d like to be generated. The default value is set to 10. Copy a specific part or one entire endpoint to your clipboard, or download the list in CSV or TXT format.
Keep track of your statistics
To monitor your proxy usage, navigate to the Statistics tab. Here, you’ll see the traffic usage for each user over a week, month, or a custom period. You can also view the amount of cumulative uploads, downloads, and requests.
Use mobile proxies
Apply the proxy endpoint information and, if required, credentials to any application or tool. You can integrate our mobile proxies with a range of third-party tools or our free X Browser to complete your tasks with ease.
