Hi BWH!

Which do you think is the best type of proxies out there for anonymity?

Why do you think is the best?

Let’s hear your thoughts and let’s educate together!
 
For pure anonymity and trust scoring, mobile proxies are definitely strong - mainly because:
  • They use real ASN from telecoms (like Verizon, T-Mobile), which makes them look like legit mobile users
  • IPs rotate naturally through the carrier network
  • Most platforms trust mobile ASN ranges more than residential or datacenter blocks
BUT:
They’re not always "better" - it depends on use case. For example:
  • For static sessions, clean ISP or residential proxies with stable TTL/MTU and consistent ASN often outperform mobile in login stability.
  • Mobile is great for rotating use, scraping, or apps that rely on native device behavior.
  • Datacenter proxies? Fast and cheap, but least trusted (especially for accounts).
So yeah - mobile proxies win in trust + rotation stealth, but the “best” proxy depends entirely on your setup goals.

What are you using them for?
 
Mobile proxies because those are used and re-used mostly by real users. No one (social media networks, etc) afford to ban an entire IP class, because it will affect a ton of real people.

When it comes to true anonymity, mobile proxies are hands-down the strongest option. They use IPs from mobile carriers, which are shared by thousands of real users, making them extremely hard to trace or blacklist. Unlike datacenter or even residential proxies, which often get flagged due to usage patterns or ASN, mobile IPs are seen as organic and trustworthy,even by platforms with strict anti-bot systems. So if stealth and privacy are your top priorities, mobile proxies are tough to beat.
 
Honestly, mobile proxies are on top for blending in, because they rotate legit carrier IP that tons of real users share. Harder to blacklist. That said, they cost more and can be slower than datacenter.

I totally agree with this answer! And honestly super helpful answer!!

Thanks for the detailed explanation—makes sense why mobile proxies are considered so reliable for anonymity. Appreciate you clarifying the differences between mobile, residential, and datacenter options.

Good point about the trade-off between performance and stealth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—helps to see the pros and cons clearly.

That’s a really good point about the risk platforms take if they block entire mobile IP ranges. Makes sense why mobile proxies stay effective for so long. Appreciate you explaining that.

@Katanaproxy - next time make 1 post not 4 in a row
 
Right, it really depends on what you need. But if you're going for maximum anonymity, I see a lot of people use a layered approach like using a VPN on top of proxy.

I think it is residential proxy. They use IP addresses from real devices, making them less likely to be flagged or blocked compared to other types. Their high anonymity and reliability make them ideal for secure browsing and bypassing restrictions
 
Mobile proxies are probably the best. It's less likely to be flagged as it uses real mobile carriers so they look like real users. It might be more pricey but everything comes for a price, right?
 
Mobile proxies are always the most preferred. They have a higher trust score compared to residential proxies because they use real IPs from real mobile devices.
 
Mobile proxy gives you access to the providers pool of ip addresess not a single one but thousands and millions in some cases.. You can rotate them by reconnecting to the mobile network.
That's a significant advantage.
Ususally mobile IP addresses are better threated and harder to get blacklisted.
