A 4G proxy (a type of mobile proxy) is an intermediary that forwards your HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 traffic through an actual mobile device connected to a mobile network via a physical SIM card. The exit IP is a carrier-grade NAT address assigned by the mobile operator, indistinguishable from millions of ordinary phone users sharing it. Proxy4G provides these on real devices, real SIMs and real carriers, never datacenter ranges or emulated connections, across 18 countries and 43 carriers at a 100% trust score.
4G, 5G and LTE: what is the difference for a proxy?
4G, LTE and 5G describe the cellular generation the SIM connects on; for proxy purposes they all deliver the same core advantage: a real carrier IP behind carrier-grade NAT. The practical differences are throughput and latency, not trust.
- LTE/4G — the workhorse. Stable, widely deployed, ample bandwidth for scraping, automation and account work.
- 5G — higher throughput and lower latency where the carrier and tower support it. Available on select carriers such as T-Mobile 5G (US), Three 5G (UK), SFR 5G (France), Vodafone 5G (Germany) and Jio 5G (India).
Because all three sit behind the same CGNAT pools, sites cannot distinguish a 5G proxy IP from a 4G one in terms of reputation, so you choose the generation for speed, not for stealth. Learn the technical detail in 4G vs 5G proxy and what is a mobile proxy.
Proxy4G mobile network at a glance
Why use a mobile proxy instead of datacenter or residential?
The value of a 4G proxy is the IP's reputation. Mobile operators ration IPv4 addresses by placing huge numbers of subscribers behind shared CGNAT pools (see RFC 6598). One IP can represent thousands of legitimate phone users, so blocking it risks blocking real customers, which is why anti-bot systems treat mobile IPs far more leniently than datacenter ranges.
Datacenter proxies are fast and cheap but live in ranges that are trivially flagged and frequently blocked outright. Residential proxies use home broadband IPs, better than datacenter but tied to fixed lines. Mobile sits at the top of the trust hierarchy: rotating, CGNAT-shared and carrier-issued. For a side-by-side breakdown read mobile vs residential vs datacenter and how mobile proxies work.
4G/5G mobile vs residential vs datacenter
| Property | 4G/5G mobile | Residential | Datacenter |
|---|---|---|---|
| IP source | Real SIM on a carrier (CGNAT) | Home broadband line | Server hosting range |
| Trust score | Highest | Medium-high | Low |
| Block resistance | Strong (shared CGNAT) | Good | Weak |
| True IP rotation | Yes (on demand / timed) | Varies | Static unless re-allocated |
| Typical cost | Higher | Medium | Lowest |
Proxy4G mobile IPs hold a 100% trust score; we never resell datacenter or emulated connections.
Dedicated or shared: which 4G plan fits?
Proxy4G offers two plan types, both on the same real carrier IPs at 100% trust score.
- Dedicated — an exclusive port that is yours alone. Rotate the IP whenever you want: instantly from the dashboard or a reset link, or set automatic rotation on a timer from every 1 to 60 minutes. From $27/mo. Best for accounts that need a stable, controllable identity.
- Shared — a budget option where the IP auto-rotates every 5 minutes. From $10.80/mo. Best for high-volume tasks where a fresh IP every few minutes is an advantage.
Both support HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with username/password or IP-whitelist authentication. Compare the rotation models in rotating vs dedicated proxies, then build your plan in the configurator. Full per-country rates live on pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
A 4G proxy routes your traffic through a real mobile device with a physical SIM card connected to a mobile carrier. Your requests exit from a genuine carrier IP sitting behind carrier-grade NAT, the same kind of address ordinary phone users share. Proxy4G runs these on real hardware, real SIMs and real carriers across 18 countries and 43 carriers, never datacenter ranges or emulated connections.
The difference is the cellular generation the SIM connects on, which affects speed and latency rather than trust. 5G offers higher throughput and lower latency where the carrier supports it, on select carriers such as T-Mobile 5G, Three 5G, SFR 5G, Vodafone 5G and Jio 5G. Both 4G/LTE and 5G IPs sit behind the same CGNAT pools, so sites cannot tell them apart by reputation.
Mobile operators place thousands of subscribers behind shared CGNAT IPv4 addresses (RFC 6598). A single IP can represent many legitimate phone users, so blocking it risks blocking real customers. Datacenter IPs live in ranges that anti-bot systems flag instantly. That trust gap is why mobile IPs survive anti-bot defenses far better, and why Proxy4G IPs hold a 100% trust score.
No. Proxy4G is no-KYC: no government ID, no name or address, no phone, and no email verification. Your account is created automatically on your first order. Payment is crypto-only — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana or USDT, plus a wallet balance top-up. There are no cards and no PayPal, and we do not log your destination traffic.
Your credentials — host, port, username and password — are emailed within minutes of your crypto payment confirming. You can then connect over HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 using username/password or IP-whitelist authentication. Autonomous AI agents can also fund a balance and buy programmatically via the x402 protocol using USDC on Base.
Dedicated plans start at $27/mo for an exclusive port you can rotate on demand or on a 1–60 minute timer. Shared plans start at $10.80/mo with the IP auto-rotating every five minutes. Durations of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months are available, and longer terms lower the effective monthly rate. See the pricing page for full per-country rates.
