Mobile hotspot vs. ISP proxy for multiple Amazon accounts?

Zupero · Jul 6, 2022

I asked a question earlier about "geo-targeted ISP proxies". I've contacted the few companies that offer them.

They're $300 a month, and only offer major cities on the east coast, mostly Virginia. Amazon would notice the IP is from Virginia; that's over 1,000 miles from my home address.

I need to figure out a different solution.

For those of you with multiple Amazon accounts, do you guys use mobile proxies/mobile hotspots? Have you been able to avoid getting banned while doing this?

It's starting to think geo-location might be easier with mobile proxies, and because it's a mobile IP address, Amazon doesn't care if your IP is always changing.

For those of you who have multiple Amazon accounts, is this reasoning correct? Mobile proxies to solve the geo-location problem?

Thanks!

If the state matches, you do not need to worry much about city targeting.

That said, with mobile proxies you do not need to worry about all that at all, country match will be enough.

When thinking about such problems, try to remember that people tend to travel, so it's okay to use different kinds of IPs.

For example - a person might have Verizon home wifi, sometimes use T-Mobile mobile hotspot and at work be connected through Verizon Business. Then this person visits his/her parents once a week and help them with shopping and it can easily happen from thousands of miles away. And all from the same account / device.

What amazon and other socials will not like - is a fresh device/IP combo when logging in, that is unusual behavior and should be avoided. For example - amazon account registered in US using windows machine and out of nowhere Linux machine located somewhere in Russia will try to log into it. Does not take the biggest artificial intelligence to understand that something is off here

I didn't realize the city matching wasn't important, even for residential proxies. Thanks for that.

So it sounds like if you're using mobile IP, the system cares more about same device, browser, and cookies, because they know mobile IP is not reliable?

Btw, can they see your actual carrier (TracFone, Ting, US Mobile), or only the host network (T-Mobile)?

Glad I could help.

Yes, indeed. Well, imagine a scenario when you just drive through a large city from one side to another. Your IP will change every 5km(3miles) or even more.

As there are only three carriers in US and rest of them are resellers and MVNOs - then for most of the time - IPs will be reported as T-Mobile.

Mobile hotspot better than ISP proxy, more trust score via Mobile IPs

So using a mobile hotspot will work just like a mobile proxy?
Aside from the automated ip rotations, multiple different locations and possibly fingerprint spoofing a mobile proxy provider could offer?
