Hello!
I just started playing around with 4G mobile proxies for a job, and while they look relatively good quality, when I check whoer.net, the DNS address is from a completely different country.
For example I purchased UK 4G mobile proxies from O2 via Gridpanel, but their DNS is an address from Belgium.
I suspect that this is what's keeping me from successfully using the proxies for registering on a service.

Is it normal to have a mismatch between proxy IP location, and DNS?
Are there any mobile proxies that really mimic the usage of my own mobile phone in hotspot mode, but from a different country?

Cheers guys

Mismatch between IP and DNS location can indicate proxy quality issues try residential proxies with carrier rotation for better results. you might need find a provider offering better alignment between IP and DNS, or provider offering high-quality proxies

I see! Thank you very much for taking your time and replying to my topic.
I would like to have access to these mobile proxies for an hour at a time, and be able to cycle through them properly based on location.
Can you tell me why you recommended residential proxies instead of mobile ones?

Residential proxies provide better IP-DNS alignment, reducing issues with registration tasks

Ok, I learn something new everyday! Cheers.
Any chance there is a proven service on BHW that you can recommend? I have been browsing the marketplace for 3 days now, but I haven't had any success yet.
Appreciate your help

I recommend posting your question specific category related to the service you’re looking for. Many sellers offer similar services, making it difficult to differentiate quality

you can post on 'want to buy' or 'Hire a freelancer' section as well
 
It's not unusual to have a mismatch between IP location and DNS for a proxy, but it can get flagged by some services as suspicious and keep you from registering. Some providers might route DNS requests through servers in different countries for performance or load reasons. Are you using an anty-detect browser such as Dolphin?
There are providers that either provide both IP and DNS from the same location or allow you to manually configure DNS.
Residential proxies have a higher chance of being blacklisted though.

It is possible to have different IP geolocation and DNS. You can visit https://www.ip2location.com to validate the IP address and its geolocation. You can also see if the 4G mobile proxies has been detected as residential proxy in IP2Proxy.

Oh yes, this is definitely confusing as there's contradictory information on the forums.
It can get pretty expensive when trying out multiple providers, just to find out that most of them are basically reselling the same thing :)

But I really like these discussions as they are backed at least by own experiences, which is always good.
