How to Configure Your Mobile Proxy
Learn how to configure your Bright Data Mobile Proxy settings, including IP types, geolocation targeting, cache proxy, and advanced options for optimal performance.
IP type
Choose one of two IP types for your proxy zone:
Shared
When you want a cost-efficient option, and you don’t require IP exclusivity. These proxies will rotate so every request you can get a new IP address (“Rotating proxies”).
Dedicated IP
When you need to access websites with an exclusive IP address.
Geolocation targeting
Since your IPs are automatically allocated, it is recommended to set up a separate Mobile proxy, for each geolocation you wish to target.
Geolocation targeting allows you to target specific locations based on City, State, Zip code, or ASN.
Select the needed parameter from the drop-down menu.
IP Groups gIPs
Only works with the Dedicated option
gIP contains between 6-90 IPs at any given moment while sharing the same attributes, targeting the selected dedicated domains within the zone “access parameters” section.
Domains
Only works with the Dedicated option
Define the domains you’d like your IPs to be exclusive to. Requests to any other domain will be sent from our super proxies.
Cache proxy
Bright Data’s cache proxy is a feature that aims to reduce the unneeded load from target sites by allowing customers to have their successful results cached on the one hand and, on the other hand, to receive cached results to their requests when possible.
Enable Cache Proxy
Simply toggle the cache proxy switch
Once switched on, we will walk you through some instructions required for the cache proxy to work.
You have two options to select from:
Advanced options:
Long-session peers: Deprecated
Enable Long-session peers: Deprecated
Simply, go to an existing Mobile zone or open a new one and toggle on the Long-session peers feature. Now your future requests will only be routed through known long-lasting peers.
Ports
The following ports are open by default: 80, 443, 8080, 8443, 5678, 1962, 2000, 4443, 4433, 4430, 4444 and 1969.
If you need access to other ports, click “Add ports” and fill out the form. Bright Data’s compliance team will review the request and update you.
