What problems do mobile proxies solve?

In this article, we will talk about the current: how to deceive social networking algorithms, not fly into a ban when working with multiple accounts, and safely parse sites using proxies.

A proxy server is a software and hardware complex that routes all traffic through itself and performs IP spoofing. The proxy receives a signal from the device, changes it to a different address, and forwards it to the global network.

Proxy types

Ordinary (server or data center) are static addresses. Such addresses are not entirely reliable, because as soon as the target server determines your IP as "bad faith", it will block it. Such proxies have to be bought in batches and constantly changed.

Residential - these are the addresses of real Internet providers that you get access to. They can be static or reverse connect, which changes the address on their own after a while. With such proxies, it becomes more difficult to monitor traffic.

Mobile - these are the addresses of real mobile operators. By paying for such proxies, you get access to the full pool of addresses that can be used in your work. Mobile proxies are the most reliable, as they are suitable for a wide range of tasks, provide complete anonymity of the network, and practically do not get banned, unlike regular proxies. Since these addresses belong to mobile operators, it is very easy to get lost among ordinary users here.

Who uses mobile proxies and why?

Marketers - to reach a larger audience when promoting goods or services. For example, a marketer has several accounts on a popular social network that he plans to promote. To ensure regular posting, replies to comments, and other activity, it is necessary to connect pages to third-party services. For these purposes, you will need proxies that will protect your account and reduce the risk of a ban. It is difficult to promote an account without proxies since logins from different devices and various activities will be suspicious for the social network.

SEO specialists. When parsing, collecting a semantic core, and working with large amounts of data, you cannot do without a proxy. In this case, the use of addresses is mandatory, not recommendatory. The more you want to parse, the more proxies you need. By using multiple addresses, you will reduce the percentage of suspicion towards you from the search engine. Addresses will evenly distribute requests from different IPs.
It is better to choose private ones for work - this is a pool of addresses allocated for you, which will ensure the anonymity and stable operation of applications, such as Key Collector.

Arbitrators who need proxies to work with different traffic sources. In traffic arbitration, proxies are used for the following purposes:

• Farming accounts and launching campaigns from a multi-account. Proxies in this case help to bypass restrictions and extend the life of the created pages.
• Cheat. To increase views, likes, and subscribers, it is necessary to bypass the algorithms of the platforms. Mobile proxies also help with this.
• Registering multiple accounts. The system will not suspect you of intentionally increasing pages if proxies are connected to the accounts.
• Software developers. When it is necessary to promote and launch your programs, you cannot do without the use of proxies. They help bypass checks from origin servers.

Why is it better to use mobile proxies?

1. Complete anonymity on the network - mobile proxies completely hide your address.
2. Account protection. No data is transmitted from your device when you use such proxies.
3. Dynamic change of address. Because it changes on its own after a certain time, you can work with several accounts at the same time. This is especially true for affiliates and targetologists.
4. Low ban risk. It is not profitable for any site to impose restrictions, due to which many ordinary users of a mobile operator may suffer. When the server receives a lot of requests from one IP address, it understands that this has nothing to do with spam, but indicates normal activity, so such proxies have practically no restrictions.

What activities might the target server consider suspicious?

• the time zone of the account is different from the time zone of the address;
• change of address too fast;
• The OS fingerprint does not match the device from which the user's actions were performed.

If the server sees suspicious activity, the account itself will be blocked, but not the address of the mobile operator. To avoid such a situation, it is important to use those proxies that work according to the algorithms of a regular user.

By using mobile proxies, you do not need to worry about the target server blocking you from performing routine work tasks.

Types of mobile proxies

Proxies are divided by operators and communication standards.

Operators: Megafon, Beeline and others.

Communication standards: 3G, 4G/LTE. The difference lies in the download speed. It is worth choosing a proxy depending on the necessary tasks that need to be solved.

For complex tasks and large amounts of data (parsing), 4G is suitable, this is a more common type of proxy.

Mobile proxies can be bought on special services or you can create your proxy farm. Creating your farm has its advantages since you can use such proxies for your tasks or sell them.
