A sneaker proxy is an intermediary IP address that your sneaker or AIO (all-in-one) bot uses to send checkout tasks, so a retailer sees a stream of independent visitors instead of one machine firing dozens of requests. Mobile proxies are the strongest class for this because they use genuine carrier IPs shared by thousands of real phone subscribers behind CGNAT — the same addresses your bot's traffic blends into. Proxy4G runs every IP on a physical SIM across 18 countries and 43 carriers, all rated at a 100% trust score.
Why do mobile IPs pass retailer anti-bot systems?
Limited drops on Nike SNKRS, Shopify-hosted stores, Footsites and similar platforms are gatekept by anti-bot and fraud-scoring engines that profile the IP behind each request. Datacenter ranges are easy to flag: their ASNs are publicly known, they carry no real user history, and they score poorly. Mobile IPs are different by design.
Because carriers place many subscribers behind a single public address via CGNAT (RFC 6598), a mobile IP that issues several requests looks ordinary — that is normal carrier behaviour. Blanket-banning it would punish real customers on the same network, so anti-bot systems treat mobile ASNs far more leniently. Proxy4G IPs originate from carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon in the US, EE and Three in the UK, and Orange, SFR and Free Mobile in France, giving you that trusted-network footprint where the drop is happening.

Dedicated or rotating: which plan fits a drop?
The right plan depends on how you run tasks during a release.
- Dedicated mobile proxies give you an exclusive port that no one else shares. You control the IP: rotate it on demand instantly from the dashboard or a reset link, or set it to auto-rotate every 1 to 60 minutes. This is the choice for high task counts where you want predictable, sole-tenant capacity and timed rotation aligned to your run.
- Rotating (shared) mobile proxies are the budget option, with the IP auto-rotating every 5 minutes. They suit warm-up, monitor tasks, lighter setups, or spreading a handful of tasks without committing to a dedicated port.
Both plans deliver real carrier IPs at a 100% trust score over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. Dedicated starts at $27/mo; shared starts at $10.80/mo, with 1, 3, 6 and 12-month durations — longer terms lower the effective rate. See full per-country pricing on the pricing page.
What rotation strategy works for a release?
There is no universal setting; tune rotation to the platform and your task volume. As a starting framework:
- One task per IP at checkout. Don't stack many concurrent checkout tasks on a single IP — that request density is the easiest signal to flag. Dedicated ports let you pin one identity per task; for breadth, run multiple dedicated proxies.
- Slow rotation during a live attempt. Switching IP mid-checkout can drop your session or invalidate a cart. Hold a stable IP through the queue and payment, then rotate after.
- Match geography to the release. Use a US carrier for a US-region SNKRS or Shopify drop, a UK carrier for a UK store, and so on — a foreign IP on a region-locked release is its own red flag.
- Reset on a soft block. If a task starts getting captcha-walled or 403'd, trigger an on-demand rotation (dedicated) or wait for the 5-minute cycle (shared) for a fresh carrier IP.
Which country and carrier should I pick?
Match the proxy to where the retailer ships and prices. Proxy4G's most release-relevant regions include the United States (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, plus T-Mobile 5G), the United Kingdom (Three, EE, Three 5G), France (Free Mobile, SFR, Orange, Bouygues), Germany (O2, Vodafone 5G), Italy and Spain (Movistar, Orange, DIGI). The full set spans 18 countries — browse the locations hub to see every carrier. Where a release is genuinely worldwide, a clean local mobile IP still tends to convert better than a mismatched one.
How to set up a sneaker proxy with your bot
- 1
Configure your order
Open the configurator, choose dedicated or shared, pick a country/carrier (e.g. US AT&T), and select a 1–12 month term. No ID, name, phone or email verification — the account is auto-created on your first order.
- 2
Pay with crypto
Settle in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana or USDT, or draw from a wallet balance. There are no cards or PayPal. See the crypto payment guide if it's your first time.
- 3
Receive credentials
Within minutes of payment you're emailed your host, port, username and password as HOST:PORT. Authenticate by username/password or lock access to your server's IP via IP whitelist.
- 4
Load into your bot
Paste the proxy into your AIO/bot proxy list in user:pass@HOST:PORT format. Choose HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 to match what your bot supports.
- 5
Test before the drop
Verify the egress IP and geolocation, and check it isn't already flagged, before release time. See how to test a mobile proxy.
- 6
Set rotation and run
For dedicated, set auto-rotate (1–60 min) or rotate on demand from the dashboard; shared rotates every 5 minutes automatically. Assign one IP per checkout task.

Frequently Asked Questions
For release bots, mobile IPs usually score highest. Because carriers place thousands of subscribers behind one CGNAT address, anti-bot systems can't ban a mobile IP without affecting real customers, so they're treated leniently. Residential IPs are also trusted but tied to single households. Datacenter IPs are the weakest — easy to fingerprint by ASN. Proxy4G runs genuine carrier IPs at a 100% trust score across 43 carriers.
Keep checkout to roughly one task per IP — concentrated request bursts from a single address are the clearest bot signal. For volume, run several dedicated proxies, each pinned to its own task, rather than stacking tasks on one port. Shared rotating proxies (a new IP every 5 minutes) suit monitor and warm-up tasks where density is lower.
No. Rotating mid-checkout can drop your session or void a cart. Hold a stable IP through the queue and payment, then rotate afterward. Dedicated proxies let you keep one IP fixed for an attempt and reset it on demand once you're done; shared proxies rotate automatically every 5 minutes, so reserve them for non-checkout tasks.
Use a US carrier IP. Proxy4G offers AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and T-Mobile 5G in the United States. Matching the proxy region to the release region matters — a foreign IP on a region-locked drop is itself a flag. For UK releases pick Three or EE; for France, Free Mobile, SFR or Orange. The full set spans 18 countries.
No. Proxy4G is no-KYC: no government ID, name, address, phone or email verification, and no card or bank data. Your account is auto-created on your first order. Payment is crypto-only — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana or USDT, plus a wallet top-up. Credentials arrive by email within minutes of payment.
All plans support HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, so they work with virtually any AIO or sneaker bot. Most bots accept the standard user:pass@HOST:PORT format; choose the protocol your bot lists. You can authenticate with username/password or whitelist your server's IP. Pricing starts at $10.80/mo shared and $27/mo dedicated.
