Mobile proxies (4G/5G)

Mobile proxies use real SIM cards from mobile carriers — Kyivstar, Vodafone Ukraine, T-Mobile, AT&T, Vodafone EU and so on. Each SIM is in a 4G/5G modem at a proxy farm, and your traffic goes through that SIM the same way an ordinary subscriber's traffic does.

The key advantage is carrier-grade NAT (CGN): the carrier hands one public IP to hundreds or thousands of subscribers. Banning your mobile IP = banning a thousand real users. Anti-bot systems don't do that.

There are two fundamentally different approaches:

Pool-based (like residential)

The provider runs hundreds or thousands of modems across regions. You pay per GB and your requests rotate between modems. Examples: SOAX, ProxyEmpire, NetNut Mobile.

Pros: IP variety, accurate geo down to the city.
Cons: more expensive ($5-15/GB), no control over a specific IP.

Dedicated port (go-proxy style)

You rent a specific port with a specific SIM by the month. Unlimited traffic, stable IP, rotation through a URL/Telegram bot. Examples: iProxy.online, MobileProxy.Space, LTESpace, 3gproxy.

Pros: $25-45/month unlimited, full control.
Cons: one IP at a time, limited geo (only where farms exist).

Mobile proxies cost 3-5× more than residential. That's worth paying only in specific use-cases:

• Multi-account on Facebook Ads, Instagram, TikTok — anti-fraud is harshest there; residential often falls over.
• Bookmakers and casinos — most major sites run enterprise-grade bot detection.
• Banking dashboards — to keep the bank from triggering 3DS step-up auth.
• Marketplaces with aggressive rate-limit — eBay, Etsy at high volume.
• Full-cycle anti-detect flows — creation → warm-up → monetisation.

For ordinary e-commerce scraping, SERP monitoring or real estate, mobile is overkill. Use residential.
