For those of you who rent or build your own mobile/residential proxies:
  1. Why do you use them specifically?
  2. What actual activities are you running on them

Thanks :)
 
Honestly depends who you ask, people use them for all sorts of things. Could be work stuff, testing, automation, privacy, random side projects there’s not really one main use.
 
we use them to manage multiple accounts on one machine, without them you cannot use more than 3 4 accounts on one machine
 
I use mobile proxies for social media automation and residential ones for multiple accounts, always with an anti-detect browser.
 
I also use them for geo QA and ad verification, not just accounts. Sometimes I just need to see the same page the way a local user sees it without a datacenter IP ruining the test.

For sure datacenter sucks !


I mostly use residential/mobile proxies because they're generally more stable than datacenter IPs for account management and web automation. My main use is testing, scraping, and managing multiple browser profiles, and FloppyData has worked well enough for that in my experience, maybe gotta test yours if you give some discount :)
:D

Do you like better adspower or bitbrowser ?
 
No one will explicitly tell you this are the use cases are vast and some are real secrets
No need to be explicit, just those answers are nice and appreciated, can launch other talks

I manage multiple accounts on social media from the same machine.

1. the traffic looks like it's coming from a real person on a real consumer connection.

2. Due to customer privacy I can't go into details but social media account management is a big use case that a lot of customers need mobile proxies for. Taking paid surveys is another one

residential proxies have many valid applications, especially when you want true geotargeting or have separate acounts. The right use case is more imprtant than what kind of proxy you use.
