Mobile Proxies for Streaming Access
Reach geo-restricted catalogs on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and BBC iPlayer through real 4G/5G carrier IPs. Mobile addresses carry the cleanest reputation for getting past geo-blocks.

Why Mobile Proxies Fit Streaming
Streaming services geo-fence catalogs by IP location and aggressively block addresses they recognize as proxies, which is where datacenter ranges fail. Mobile carrier IPs carry the cleanest reputation of any proxy type, so a connection from a 4G/5G address looks like an ordinary subscriber on a phone. Pulling from 2.5-3M daily active mobile IPs across 115 countries, the pool lets you appear local to the region whose catalog you want. That authenticity is what gets you past geo-blocks that filter obvious proxy traffic on sight.
The Streaming Workflow
Choose the country whose catalog you want to reach and route your client through a mobile IP in that region. Use a sticky session so the IP stays stable across authentication and playback rather than changing mid-stream. Confirm the service shows the regional library, then start playback as normal. For testing how content varies, switch the proxy country between sessions and compare what each region surfaces. Keep one stable IP per viewing session so the platform sees a consistent location from sign-in through the entire watch.
Setup: Targeting, Rotation, and Auth
Authenticate with user:pass credentials over HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5; all are TCP-based, so UDP ASSOCIATE is not supported. Target by country and, if you wish, narrow to a carrier via ASN using the top-three carrier ASNs in Tier-1 and Tier-2 markets or any ASN as open input; city, state, and ZIP are not offered. Use sticky sessions, which hold an IP from one minute up to two hours, to keep a single stable address across a viewing session. Typical latency runs around 387 ms, and the network supports up to 50,000 concurrent sessions for many parallel streams.
Best Practices
Pin a sticky IP for the whole session so authentication and playback originate from one consistent location. Match the proxy country precisely to the catalog you want, since region detection keys on the exit IP. Choose a session length that comfortably covers your viewing time, up to the two-hour sticky window, to avoid mid-stream changes. Keep your account's stated region consistent with the proxy country across sessions. When comparing catalogs, change only the country between runs so differences are attributable to region alone, not to session noise.
Common Pitfalls
Rotating IPs mid-stream changes your apparent location and interrupts playback, so always use sticky sessions for viewing. Expecting city or ZIP targeting will not work, because mobile geo resolves to country and carrier ASN only. Mismatching the proxy country with your account region can surface anomaly checks. Some services apply additional device or account signals beyond IP, so results can vary by platform. UDP-based players or features will fail, since only TCP protocols are supported. Finally, do not assume every title is available everywhere; catalogs differ by region by design.
Pricing and Scaling
Mobile proxies are pay-as-you-go per gigabyte, starting at $2.98/GB and scaling toward a $1.20/GB floor as usage grows. Video is bandwidth-heavy, so estimate consumption from your stream quality and watch time, and lower the resolution where you only need to confirm availability rather than view at full quality. The network supports up to 50,000 concurrent sessions, so running many parallel streams for testing scales cleanly. Budget to your expected gigabytes per session, and remember you are billed only for the bandwidth you actually consume.
