A US SIM or eSIM will help with verification, but it won’t fully trick YouTube’s algo. VPNs alone won’t cut it because YT can detect common VPN IPs and flag them. If you really need to mimic a legit US user, a residential proxy with mobile data is better than a VPN. You could also use a burner phone physically located in the US to manage the account.
do you mean buying a US proxy and connecting inside the mobile networks settings but without using the US sim data plan or what u mean,
and is it that how im wondering the android farms work or i dont get it, ive seen they use a router
. i dont also dont have burner.

ChatGPT answer
is it possible to connect with a proxy inside a smartphone or how
ChatGPT said:
Yes, you can connect to the internet through a proxy on a smartphone. Here’s how:
1. Use System Proxy Settings (Wi-Fi)
Most smartphones allow you to configure a proxy for Wi-Fi connections:
- On Android:
- Go to Settings → Wi-Fi.
- Long-press the Wi-Fi network you're connected to and select Modify network.
- Tap Advanced options → Proxy.
- Choose Manual and enter the proxy IP address and port.
- Save the settings.
- On iPhone (iOS):
- Go to Settings → Wi-Fi.
- Tap on the Wi-Fi network you're connected to.
- Scroll down to Configure Proxy and select Manual.
- Enter the proxy server address and port.
- Save the settings.
Limitations: This works only for apps that use system-wide proxy settings. Some apps may bypass it.
2. Use a Proxy App (For Mobile Data & All Apps)
If you want to route all traffic, including mobile data, through a proxy, use an app:
- Android: Apps like ProxyDroid (root required) or VPN-based apps like Postern.
- iOS: Apps like Shadowrocket (paid) allow custom proxy configurations.
Note: Some apps require
root (Android) or
jailbreak (iOS) for full system-wide proxy control.
3. Use a VPN with a Proxy
Some VPN providers offer
proxy integration, allowing you to use a proxy while benefiting from encryption.
- Example: NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark allow SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy setup.
- You can also use WireGuard or OpenVPN to route traffic via a proxy.
4. Use a SOCKS5 or HTTP Proxy via SSH Tunnel (Advanced)
If you have a remote server, you can set up a SOCKS5 proxy using SSH:
- Android:
- Use an app like ConnectBot to create an SSH tunnel.
- Route traffic using ProxyDroid.
- iPhone (iOS):
- Use an app like iTerminal or ShellFish to establish an SSH tunnel.
