Using Ads Power, it gives me the option of Windows/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS

I'm running Ads Power on a Windows PC, but using a mobile proxy that's supposed to be on a phone, so should I choose Android/iOS?

But if I choose Android/iOS, pixelscan.net detects there is something wrong with my fingerprint, Im guessing because its on a Windows PC.

TLDR: how do I set up Ads Power profile to use a mobile proxy?
 
Use desktop profile and tweak browser fingerprint to mimic mobile, works way better.

Can you share how to do that in Ads Power? This is my current profile, I already notice something weird:

Under User-Agent, it has Win64 and AppleWebkit/Safari for some reason. Is this normal? Thanks in advance

I can only speak for anti detect browsers, you definitelly do not want to configure the browser profile as an android phone or device, I was not able to scroll webpages lol.
As for leaking the device, if it is set up at the browser account layer, you are okay, but this varies by provider.
 
I'm using SmartProxy, and it only has Anroid/iOS on the proxy set up side...

Yeah you might be getting resolution mismatches that way, I am not sure on the architecture of your program, (I am using another where I figured out how to do it), but try to run the proxy emulating a windows device if you are targeting the final product/destination from a PC/Laptop.

Use a test account that wont cause a catastrophy in case it goes awry, these are them nitty gritty details about this business, I alsways do the same, trying the most risky approach with a throw away and then work upwards.
 
If you’re using a mobile proxy, it’s better to select Android/iOS in AdsPower. But since you’re on Windows, you should also match other settings to mobile to avoid fingerprint mismatch.

Here are the steps to do that
  1. Create a new profile in AdsPower
    • Go to your AdsPower dashboard.
    • Click on "Create new profile".
  2. Choose the device type
    • For mobile proxy, choose Android/iOS as the platform.
    • Even if you're on a Windows PC, this tells Reddit (or any site) that you're emulating a mobile device.
  3. User-Agent setting
    • Make sure the user-agent matches a real mobile browser.
    • Example for Android:
      Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 11; Pixel 5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/112.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36
  4. Screen resolution
    • Set screen resolution like a phone (e.g., 412x915 or 360x760).
  5. Touch support
    • Enable touch emulation (if AdsPower supports it).
  6. Timezone & Language
    • Match these to your mobile proxy’s location (important for trust score).
    • Use a site like https://iplocation.net with your proxy active to check these details.
  7. Enable WebRTC leak protection
    • Helps prevent your real IP from leaking if Reddit checks.
  8. Use pixelscan.net to test
    • After launching the profile, go to https://pixelscan.net
    • Make sure it shows:
      • Platform: Android/iOS
      • Screen: Mobile size
      • No fingerprint mismatch alerts
 
Honestly, I'd stick with Windows in AdsPower since that's your actual OS, and try tweaking the fingerprint settings. Maybe Pixelscan is just being overly sensitive to some minor inconsistencies.
 
Yes I would suggest just using your windows operating system, plenty of people hotspot using mobile

Try using GeeLark's multilogin. It will serve you better in this regard.
 
You can choose android/ios to match the mobile proxy, but since you are using a window PC,tools like pixelscan may detect difference. To fix this, adjust your fingerprint settings in adspower - things like device type, screen size and user agent - to better copy a real phone setup. This helps your setup look more natural and lowers the chance of being flagged.
 
Yes, when using mobile proxies, it's recommended to create a "mobile" browser profile. This helps match the proxy type with a mobile user agent and device fingerprint, reducing the risk of detection or bans. It makes your browsing behavior appear more natural and consistent with mobile traffic.
 
I can say I am very experienced in this faking browser and stuff, I have done a lot of research, failing deliberately and not so deliberately at times, to test what goes.
And my reviews stick, they do not get deleted. Because every one person apart from a handful on this forum always say yeah no problem, I can do TP reviews etc, but gues what, they cannot. I will not give away the hard earned secrets on how I do it just like that, and it would be pointless as things constantly chance anyway, but: here some tips:

- Theres a hierachry of opponents, if you think you can fool microsoft on a MS machine, you are fooling yourself, MS is not an OS system first, its a corporate security framework first, if they want, they are harder to beat than google, they control your OS, the good thing is, they do not care so long it does not cost them(IE stealing product key for MS suite or azure tokens)

- If you wanna cheat google with fake google reviews, stuff regarding or requiring continious access to gmails, doing things in browser, you will have a hard, hard time

- Next layer is trustpilot, facebook, tripadvisor etc, this is possible, but must be meticulous, they use fingerprintJS or anti fraud stuff based on it with additional measures, still no joke , you can never have the same screen resolution, webrtc, anything during various session, do not underestimate this, ever.

- Affiliate forums, they have some less invasive canvas checks and if you can dance with Trustpilot, you will eat these for breakfast, but do not believe a bit random emails and a VPN will do the trick.

This stuff is harder than people make it out to be, it requires a lot and deep understanding of software architecture, "Can I use a mobile proxy from a PC device?" Certainly, you could also mount square wheels on a car, but it is not optimal and will only work for so long.

It is a fair question, there will be further questions, can I impersonate a laptop from a mobile phone etc, its part of the learning journey, but think of it this way, you need something at the OS level, something turning the data into noise or blocking it right there, like returning CPU or GPU data...but do you know how a website can check if youre mobile or not? From a web server request? Simply by checking if touch event is available.

A word of advice for residential and mobile proxies, double check them, if they leak anything, scrap them and delete the provide from your contacts, better mark as red flag. If the proxies are made with dongles, they arew not serious buinesspeople.

Thank me later.
