Mobile Proxies

Real mobile proxy IPs from 140+ locations with automatic rotation. Thie documentation covers setup, session control, protocols, Public API integration, and more.

Mobile Proxies contain real IP addresses provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). These IP addresses are attached to mobile devices across the globe at a country level. Therefore, it is easy to replicate human behaviour and avoid blocks using this type of proxy.

Oxylabs Mobile Proxies are fully equipped, rotate automatically, and are easy to set up. Mobile Proxies allow you to access 3G/4G/5G cellular networks.

Find everything about Mobile Proxies integration in this documentation, and to begin with, check the Getting started section below.

Getting started

Make a request to https://ip.oxylabs.io/location using a mobile proxy from a random location through our backconnect entry. Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your proxy user credentials. Keep in mind that each request returns a new IP address as Oxylabs Mobile Proxies rotate automatically.

Use ip.oxylabs.io/location to check the parameters of your IPs—this domain delivers information from four geolocation databases: MaxMind, IP2Location, DB-IP, and IPinfo.io. The parameters include IP address, provider, country, city, ZIP code, ASN, organization name, time zone, and meta (when disclosed by database).

curl -x pr.oxylabs.io:7777 -U "customer-USERNAME:PASSWORD" https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

Our Mobile Proxies support HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP3, and SOCKS5 protocols. You can learn more about using them here.

Now make a request using a proxy from France. All you need to do is add cc-FR to your username string. Below is an example in cURL, and here you can find code samples in other languages.

curl -x pr.oxylabs.io:7777 -U "customer-USERNAME-cc-FR:PASSWORD" https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

If you need to keep the same proxy for more than one request, use session control. Add sessid-abc12345 to your username string, where abc12345 can be any random string, and as long as you keep sending requests with this string (session ID), you will get the same proxy IP.

curl -x pr.oxylabs.io:7777 -U "customer-USERNAME-sessid-randomString123:PASSWORD" https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

You can also set up Mobile Proxies using the Endpoint generator.
