# Mobile proxies overview

> How ProxyScrape Mobile proxies work — rotation, sticky sessions, locations, and authentication.

Mobile proxies route your traffic through mobile carrier IPs, which carry a strong reputation with target websites. The pool is smaller than the Regular Residential pool, but the higher trust of mobile IPs often makes up for it.

<Note>
  Mobile proxies are currently surfaced as an **experimental mode inside the Residential Proxy Setup screen** rather than as a standalone product. You select **Mobile proxies** as the proxy type on the [Residential Proxy Setup](https://dashboard.proxyscrape.com/v2/services/residential/proxy-setup/) page, and the screen builds the username for you.

## How Mobile proxies work

* Mobile proxies **rotate by default**, with an optional fixed \~3-minute static session.
* They use a small, **fixed list of locations** and offer no carrier selector.
* They share the **same per-account host, port, and authentication** as your Regular Residential proxies.
* **Protocols:** HTTP and SOCKS5. Because Mobile runs on the same infrastructure as Regular Residential, the SOCKS5 proxies support **TCP** only.
