social media proxies
social platforms are the strictest environment there is for automated traffic. the ip is the first thing they judge, and mobile addresses are judged most kindly.
why this needs proxies
social platforms weight ip reputation heavily and treat datacenter addresses as automation by default. mobile ips are costly to act against, because carriers place thousands of real subscribers behind one address, so blocking it means blocking real users.
which proxies to use
mobile from $1.00
real 4g and 5g carrier ips, which a platform pays a price to act against because real subscribers share them.
isp from $0.50
static residential-trust ips for accounts that should keep a consistent address over time.
dedicated isp $2.50
an exclusive static ip for the month, when an account should never share an address with anyone.
what it costs
estimate: about 8 mb per session, because social apps are media-heavy. a session that watches or uploads video runs far higher.
| account sessions | bandwidth | mobile | isp |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | 2 gb | $2.80 | $2.00 |
| 2,000 | 16 gb | $22.40 | $16.00 |
| 10,000 | 78 gb | $109.20 | $78.00 |
volume rates are applied automatically, so the larger rows already reflect the cheaper tier.
how to set it up
sessionsticky, so an account keeps one address
accountone random 16-digit number. no email, no name, no kyc.

faq
- why are mobile proxies better for social platforms?
- because carrier-grade nat puts a very large number of real subscribers behind each mobile address. a platform that blocks one is blocking many genuine users at once, so it is much slower to do so than with a datacenter range.
- should each account have its own ip?
- for anything you care about keeping, yes. accounts sharing one address are trivially linkable, and action taken against one tends to reach the others. a dedicated ip per account is the cautious version of this.
- does the ip need to stay the same for an account?
- a stable address is treated as more normal than one that jumps between countries between logins. use a sticky session, or a static isp ip for accounts that should look settled.
