Mobile Proxy Settings: Two Solutions to Modify IP in 4G/5G Networks

A practical guide to switching IPs for cell phone traffic

In mobile office and network application scenarios, it is often necessary to quickly switch device IP addresses. This article focuses onDual platform for Android and iOSWe organize two tested proxy IP setup solutions to help users complete IP changes without changing SIM cards.

Option 1: Manually configure a proxy server

This is the most basic way of IP switching, applicable to temporary use scenarios. Take Huawei cell phone as an example:

1. Go to [Settings] - [Mobile Network] - [Access Point Name].
2. When a new APN is created, theproxy serverFill in the column with the IP address obtained from ipipgo.
3. Enter the corresponding service port number in the Port field.
4. Save and restart the data network to take effect

Caveats:Some carriers' APN settings are locked, so you need to create a new APN configuration first. ipipgo provides residential IP support for HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocols, so we recommend that you give preference tolow latency nodePerform the configuration.

Option 2: Automatic switching of proxy tools

The open source tools ProxyDroid (Android) or Shadowrocket (iOS) are recommended for automated management:

In the tool, enter the ipipgo suppliedAPI addressThis can be achieved:
- Timed automatic IP change
- Area Oriented Switching
- Traffic Usage Monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I be banned if I change my IP frequently?
A: ipipgo's residential IP pool contains 90 million + real home IPs, with theIntelligent switching strategyIn addition, it can effectively avoid the triggering of the wind control mechanism

Q: Can mobile network and WiFi be represented at the same time?
A: Android system needs to be set up separately, iOS can realize dual-channel proxy by proxy tool. It is recommended to create in ipipgo consoleIndependent Network Configuration Groupmanage

For practical use, it is recommended to combine ipipgo'sAPI documentationDeveloping automation scripts to realize finer IP management policies. The dynamic residential IP it provides is particularly suitable for business scenarios that require long-term stable connectivity, while the static IP is suitable for equipment fixed authentication needs.
