Rotating mobile proxy setup in five steps

Rotating mobile proxies use real 4G/5G carrier IPs in 110 countries and are paid by the gigabyte. They are made for scraping and for running many accounts, where each request should come from a fresh mobile IP.

  1. Buy bandwidth. 5 GB costs $19.50 ($3.90/GB) and the rate falls to $2.30/GB at 2 TB and above. The bandwidth never expires.
  2. Open the rotating mobile section of the dashboard and start a new line.
  3. Choose a country. Country targeting is included. State, city and ASN also work, and count at 2x traffic.
  4. Choose rotating or sticky. Without a session, every request gets a new IP. A sticky session keeps one IP for up to 2 hours when a login needs it.
  5. Choose HTTP(S) or SOCKS5, then copy the generated line.

Connection details

Lines use the gateway gw.nefo.net on port 9000, with targeting in the username (-country-us, -session-<id>) and your password after it. Up to 200 connections can run at once.

text
gw.nefo.net:9000
USERNAME-country-us:PASSWORD

Test the line with a request and read the exit IP:

bash
curl -x socks5h://USERNAME:[email protected]:9000 https://api.ipify.org

When to use rotating mobile proxies

Pick rotating mobile when you need many different carrier IPs and pay for traffic, not time. If you instead want one modem and one IP you control, rent a mobile proxy by the day. To compare mobile with home IPs, see residential vs mobile proxies.

Tips for rotating mobile proxies

Use country targeting first, because it is included in the price; add a state, city or ASN only when the job needs it, since those count at 2x traffic. Use a sticky session of up to 2 hours for anything that must stay logged in, and plain rotation for stateless requests. Because you pay per GB, avoid downloading large files through the line. If you later need one stable modem instead, a mobile proxy by the day gives you a dedicated port. Use proxies for lawful work only; see the acceptable use policy.
