Which mobile proxy to choose and how to buy it from OnlineProxy

Which Proxy to Choose?

What does OnlineProxy offer?

We offer a specific unlimited proxy port with a designated geographic location. It's worth noting that what we provide is not a pool of endless IP addresses from around the world. The IP addresses for each proxy port are limited to one region, and the number of addresses varies based on the cellular provider and the region. We have a variety of proxy ports from different countries and their regions for you to choose from.Every proxy comes with various features like geolocation, type, and protocol. It's important to determine which ones you need.

Which Country to Choose?

Your choice of country depends on the internet resource (website, service, online store) you're planning to use. Logically, it's best to select the country where the online resource was developed. However, this isn't a strict rule. If you decide on a different country, ensure that the resource isn't blocked there. For instance, accessing the BBC website via a Russian proxy won't be possible since it's blocked by Russian cellular providers. You will find more information in the article on choosing a mobile proxy country.

Which Protocol to Choose?

Your choice of protocol depends on the tools you're using. If you're working via a browser, opt for HTTP. However, if you're using specialized software, then SOCKS5 is recommended as it's faster and more reliable. But, ensure that your software supports SOCKS5.For more details on protocols, check out: SOCKS5 vs HTTPS: Proxy Differences, Pros and Cons, and Where to Use.

Which Type to Choose?

• Shared Proxies are more affordable, but their reliability, speed, and capabilities are somewhat limited. Their IP addresses change automatically every 2-5 minutes, resulting in a connection loss for about 5-15 seconds during the switch. Typically, one mobile device (a smartphone or modem) is divided among 5 shared proxy ports.
• Private proxies are more expensive. And here's why: the entire mobile device is reserved for you, with a full channel of internet traffic. In this case, you are only limited by the speed of the mobile operator. You have flexible options for changing the IP: via link, with a customizable period, or without changing it at all.

If you're using a browser with light tasks, a Shared Proxy will suffice. For more demanding tasks, we recommend opting for Private Proxies.
