Rayobyte Mobile Proxies route requests through IP addresses associated with mobile networks. Mobile Proxy access and bandwidth are managed separately from standard Residential Proxy bandwidth, even though the services use a similar connection method.

This article covers the basic information you need to connect and test your Mobile Proxies.

➡️ Connecting to Mobile Proxies

How do I connect to the Mobile Proxy pool?

Mobile Proxy access is enabled through your Rayobyte proxy credentials. To route the request through the Mobile pool, add -mobile to the end of your proxy password.

For example:

username:password-mobile@la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000

If your credentials contain additional supported parameters, make sure -mobile is placed at the end of the password parameters.

How can I test whether my Mobile Proxy is working?

You can make a simple request to an IP-checking service:

curl https://api.ipify.org/ \ -x username:password-mobile@la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000

A successful request should return the exit IP used for the connection.

Make sure you use the credentials associated with the account that has Mobile Proxy access enabled.

➡️ Mobile Proxy Availability

Will I receive the same Mobile IP on every request?

No. Rayobyte Mobile Proxies use a rotating pool, so the available exit IP can change between connections.

The exact IPs and carriers available at any given time depend on the mobile devices and connections that are currently online in the pool.

Can I select a specific Mobile IP or carrier?

Mobile Proxy inventory is dynamic, so specific IPs or carriers are not guaranteed to be available at all times.

If your workflow requires a particular location, carrier, or other network characteristic, contact Support so we can confirm what is currently available.

➡️ Bandwidth & Access

Is Mobile Proxy bandwidth separate from Residential bandwidth?

Yes. Mobile and Residential are separate proxy services. Having Residential Proxy bandwidth does not automatically provide access to the Mobile pool.

Your account must have Mobile Proxy access and available Mobile bandwidth before requests using the -mobile parameter can connect successfully.

What happens when my Mobile bandwidth runs out?

If no Mobile bandwidth remains on your account, Mobile Proxy requests may stop connecting until additional bandwidth becomes available.

If you're unsure about your remaining allocation or need additional Mobile bandwidth, contact our Support team.

➡️ Troubleshooting

My Mobile Proxy isn't connecting. What should I check?

Start by checking that:

• Your account has Mobile Proxy access enabled.
• You have Mobile bandwidth available.
• Your username and password are correct.
• -mobile appears at the end of your password parameters.
• You can reproduce the issue with a simple IP-check request rather than only on a specific website.

If a basic IP-check request works but your target website does not, the issue may be related to how that website handles the request rather than the Mobile Proxy connection itself.

➡️ Need Help?

If your Mobile Proxies still aren't connecting, contact Support and include the error you're receiving, the approximate time of a recent test, and whether a basic IP-check request works.

Please mask your proxy password and any other sensitive credentials before sending screenshots, logs, or connection examples.
