What is a 4G mobile proxy?
A 4G mobile proxy is a type of proxy server that routes your internet traffic through a mobile device connected to a 4G LTE network. This gives the appearance that the traffic is coming from a regular mobile user using a mobile network, rather than from a data center or a home internet connection.
4G Mobile Proxy
Key Features:
- Real IPs from mobile carriers: These proxies use IP addresses assigned by mobile carriers (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile), making them appear more legitimate to websites.
- Higher trust level: Websites are generally more lenient with mobile IPs, so you’re less likely to get blocked or flagged.
- Dynamic IP rotation: Mobile IPs often change periodically (or can be refreshed), providing natural IP rotation, great for avoiding bans during web scraping or managing multiple social media accounts.
- Geo-targeting: You can often choose IPs from specific countries or even cities, depending on the provider.
Common Use Cases:
- Web scraping (especially from websites with strong anti-bot systems)
- Social media automation (Instagram, TikTok, etc.)
- Ad verification
- Sneaker bots
- Bypassing geo-restrictions
Pros:
- High anonymity and trust
- Less likely to get blacklisted
- Mimics real user behavior
- More expensive than datacenter or residential proxies
- Slower speeds due to mobile network limitations
- Limited bandwidth in some cases
