What's useful to know about a mobile proxy server?

There are three types of proxy servers commonly used for internet connections:

• Data-center proxies are fast and cheap, but their downside is that websites can easily detect such addresses and determine that they don't belong to a real person, so when working with social networks or advertising accounts, such proxies are often quickly blocked;
• Home proxies - these use IP addresses from internet service providers; they look more reliable than data center proxies and are less susceptible to blocking, but they are also more expensive and are generally static;
• Mobile proxies are servers that use IP addresses from mobile operators (e.g., 3G/4G/5G). Simply put, they replace your real IP address with a mobile one, "disguising" you as a regular smartphone user online. Therefore, for the optimal solution, we recommend to buy mobile proxies from StableProxy.

When is a mobile proxy needed?

Let's take a closer look at this issue. A mobile proxy server solves the following problems:

1. Anonymity and identity protection: websites see your mobile operator's dynamic IP address, not your home or work IP;
2. Bypassing blocks and restrictions: you can access websites or services that are unavailable in your region;
3. Mass work with accounts: in social networks, marketplaces, advertising accounts – mobile IPs are more difficult to block, since they are “common” and belong to a large pool of operators;
4. Advertising and SEO Check: allows you to see how a website or advertisement is displayed to users from different IPs and regions;
5. Data parsing: Mobile proxies help collect data without getting banned quickly.

How does this work?

You connect to a mobile proxy https://stableproxy.com/en via special software or settings. Your request first goes to the proxy server, which then transmits it through your mobile operator's SIM card. The website receives the request from the mobile internet IP address.

This connection mechanism has a number of undeniable advantages, including the following:

• dynamic IP addresses change automatically (the operator issues new ones regularly);
• high level of trust – websites are less likely to block mobile IPs, because they are used by millions of real people;
• Geotargeting – you can choose a country or even a city to position yourself in the desired region;
• fewer bans compared to stationary or data-center proxies;
• Business-friendly – mobile proxies are suitable for automating SMM, marketing, SEO, and traffic arbitrage.
