The whole time when reading through threads, when they said "4G proxy", I thought they meant turning on and off airplane mode for 10 seconds.
So you're saying there are 2 ways of doing it:
1. Getting a Mobile Proxy from a proxy provider
2. Turning on and off airplane mode for 10 seconds to change the IP address?
From your perspective, which works better? Thanks mate for your response
Basically, they are the same:
1. You can turn mobile hotspot on and use it
2. Or as I did, buy 4G modems (most of mobile providers offer them) and SIM with mobile internet
And it will be the same mobile internet.
I prefer to manage each account on a new IP so I reboot modem after I finish working on each account.
Hotspot Pros - almost free, doesn’t require any technical skills, easily accessible.
Hotspot Cons - not scalable, require your phone to be on an airplane mode each 5 mins for 10 secs.
Modem Pros - scalable, opportunity to build proxies on their basis, reboot accessible from web UI.
Modem Cons - $$$, require technical skills if you want to build a real 4G proxy with reboot API.
So 4G proxy and use of a 4G modem / phone hotspot (basically, Wi-Fi) are not the same things but they lead to the one result - you will have IPv4.
I manage around 2000 accounts so 4G modems are my choice. I have my own proxies built on 4G modems basis with reboot API.
