4G Mobile Proxies

4G LTE proxies remain the workhorse of the mobile proxy market: mature hardware, broad carrier coverage, dependable 20–60 Mbps throughput and the same CGNAT trust advantage as 5G at a lower price.

A 4G port is a physical modem with a SIM on a consumer data plan. Your traffic exits through the carrier exactly as a phone's would, including the carrier ASN, mobile usage type and tower-level geolocation.

Rotate via the provider's API or on a timer between identity switches. Keep one port per identity cluster, and note that rotation gives you a new IP from the carrier's pool — not a new fingerprint, which your browser still controls.

4G is the right default for social media and account work. Move to 5G only when you need the extra throughput for uploads or parallel sessions.
