Is it possible to stabilize mobile proxy location

Using proxidize to build my own mobile proxy. But ip is changing from Texas to NYC to cal Everytime I rotate which will def flag the Reddit system. When I ask proxidize cs about this, they say it depends on my ISP infrastructure and location cannot be guaranteed. Anyone had success in this?

Why do you think that would be flagged? I don't have experience with US carriers, but from what you're telling it seems that it's the normal behavior of your mobile carrier/isp in that region, so it shouldn't be an issue. Carriers often reassign completely different IP addresses (sometimes even from different regions) while under CGNAT.

Answer this question. That is the difference between the dongle you use and a real phone connected to the same network? If these were real humans using real phones, the carrier would behave the same way, assigning different ips with different geolocations from the pool, whenever the connection resets (like toggling airplane mode etc). So reddit etc. are most probably used to seeing this kind of ip/geolocation shift from mobile users in that location if that's normal behaviour for the isp.

That's the whole idea of mobile proxies, mimicking real behaviour. Also, ip pool being shared by multiple users under cgnat, it's more unlikely for platforms to ban/blacklist on a per ip basis. That's the real advantage. Because real users also use those outbound ips, even if sometimes they are used by bots/automation.

What usually triggers bans under mobile proxies is suspicious/unnatural behavior patterns, fingerprinting, and more, not normal mobile ip rotation.

This is common with mobile proxies. Since IPs come from carriers, geolocation can vary greatly — sometimes jumping from one state to another, depending on the IP pool and network routing. Platforms like Reddit can detect these sudden changes and flag them as suspicious behavior. If you need more consistency, it’s best to use a carrier with a more stable IP range or configure the system to limit rotation within the same ASN or regional range.

Do you have a recommendation for the carrier provider?

I completely disagree with your obvious AI generated response regarding flagging. This is common behaviour for some carriers in some countries/regions (especially in less populated areas where the network infrastructure is not as developed). Platforms are used to it since real users also experience it.

Of course he can try to change carriers to check if others would have a bigger local/regional ip pool to get mapped with more consistently, but imho focus should be on avoiding fingerprinting/unnatural actions.

I see thanks for your input.
I'm still new in this so I think I'm just getting confused with so much info out there

It's normal, there is a lot of information, often conflicting. The question you should ask yourself when you are in doubt is: is my workflow behaving like a real human? If yes, it most usually is ok.

Of course, there are very advanced fingerprinting techniques, based on device, browser and even network protocols (such as p0f, JA3, JA4 etc.), but evadinbg those is another story.

What is your usecase? Are you looking to use the proxies yourself or offer them as a service?

Thanks man.
I'm trying to use it for my own only. For farming different accounts on Reddit.

You have every right to disagree with my answer, but not to say that it was generated by AI. You can even report it to the forum, as I was warned of an infraction by it.

I have a mobile proxy provider in Brazil and I only said what is my reality and I can prove everything I said. It is certainly common behavior, but that does not mean that it cannot generate flags. Of course, it also depends on other factors and not just the proxy as an individual factor.

On one of my servers, the location changes a lot, sometimes even changing the state I am in, and this can sometimes be flagged by the social network. I do not use Reddit and have no experience with it, but I use it a lot with networks like Facebook and Instagram.

I ask that you review your criteria before reporting forum members.

I have no experience with US carriers. However, here in Brazil I use two carriers and with one of them it happens exactly as you mentioned and with the other it doesn't. That's why it's important to test all the carriers you have access to to see which one works best for your purpose.

While I am against going off-topic, I am also a firm believer in the right of reply, so I will say the following:

1. My assumption that your response was AI generated or at least ai-assisted was based on various factors such as: content of reply, phrasing, sentence structure/construction, tone, punctuation (use of " — " etc.) and more. That being said, I could be wrong, of course. Even if I don't think i'm mistaken, I apologize in case I am/was.

2. I do report users when I think they breach forum's rules, but this was not the case here.
I have NOT reported your reply and any moderator here can check/confirm this. Even if I have reported you (which I haven't), I do not have the power to give infractions since I'm not a moderator. If you did receive one, you most probably did something wrong/against the rules and you should focus on yourself.

I believe this clears everything up. I will NOT elaborate on this further in any other way, to avoid derailing the topic any further. Thanks!

Usually US carriers do not have such a big dispersion in ip network(many small ip pools attached to certain areas/towns). To solve this issue you should try to create a sctipt that switches ip until you get a required state/location. Or you can try to switch the carrier...
