TCP fingerprint residential proxies do not match

What do you mean?
Count how many Androids are at people's houses? In 2025, genZ doesn't use PC's :-)
But most proxy-users use desktop-setups and then you have an instant mismatch because of the desktop/browser fingerprint while sending data through a mobile network.
 
Hello, I would definitely use mobile proxies here and make sure the provider offers pOf (Passive OS Fingerprint). You're right, the most important thing is that the browser fingerprint matches the proxy fingerprint, otherwise, proxies are very easy to detect.
Why would you use a mobile proxy? It would be cheaper to get a residential one, if you need a windows fingerprint (passive os) anyway?
 
Hello. How are you? Yes, I have tested it. In fact, today I only work with mobile...Thanks for your contribution.
Why did you go for mobile proxies instead of clean and reliable residential proxies?
 
Hey @florian71 , just a quick reminder: on BHW it’s better to reply to multiple posts/users in one single message instead of posting several short replies one after another - otherwise it can be seen as spam.
You can simply use Multi-Quote or tag users with @ to keep everything tidy.

Regarding your questions:
  • Why mobile proxies? They can be useful in very specific cases (e.g. social media apps, platforms where only mobile traffic looks natural, or when a mobile carrier IP is required).
  • Why not residential? For most use cases, clean residential proxies are cheaper, more stable, and sufficient (ticketing, e-com, scraping, airdrops, etc.). Unless you really need a mobile fingerprint, residential usually makes more sense.
So in short: if you don’t specifically need a mobile fingerprint, residential proxies are generally the better option.
