Mobile Proxy + Windows/Mac OS Browser Profile = bad?

Hi. For my Facebook accounts, I use static residential IP addresses with an anti-detect browser + Windows or Mac OS as the operating system for each browser profile.
This process imitates a user on a computer or laptop with a static IP.

I want to switch to mobile 4G proxies and am wondering if it would be suspicious to use a 4G mobile proxy alongside a browser profile for a laptop or computer, rather than a mobile phone profile.
Even further, theoretically, if using a mobile proxy I should only access Facebook via the official app or at least through a mobile browser on an actual mobile device. I am aware that some anti-detect browser offer mobile browser profiles. Is this a common practice for mobile proxies?

I am considering this because I believe using a mobile proxy with Windows or Mac OS would be suspicious. Any input or experiences?

Hi! Your concerns are valid. Using 4G mobile proxies with a desktop operating system like Windows or Mac OS could raise suspicion, as the IP would be recognized as mobile, but the device as a desktop. This mismatch might trigger security alerts.

Many users therefore opt to use mobile browser profiles in anti-detect browsers to simulate the behavior of a mobile device, even though they’re actually using a laptop or desktop. It’s common practice to pair mobile proxies with mobile profiles to reduce these risks.

Try it out beforehand to make sure everything works

If you want to play it safe, the best approach would be to access Facebook through a mobile browser environment or the official app on a mobile device or emulator.

Add the proxy in your macOS internet proxy, dont use browsers . Try first

What are the best antidetect browsers to use for IG/FB/TikTok/X with mobile proxies, in your experience?

Yes your setup with mobile anti detect browsers sounds solid to me
