When you use a proxy, your internet traffic is routed through the proxy server, which masks your actual IP address and assigns you a new one. Mobile proxies are a specialized type of proxy that routes traffic through mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, that are connected to mobile carrier networks.

 

Mobile proxies use IP addresses assigned by the mobile carrier network. These mobile IP addresses blocks are distinct from traditional data center or residential IP addresses. Mobile carriers maintain massive pools of IP addresses to support millions of users on their networks. Connected mobile devices are regularly assigned new IP addresses from this pool.

 

Because of specialized architecture of mobile networks, Mobile proxies have advantages and are superior to other types of proxies such as residential proxies.
