Residential, 4G or Datacenter Proxy: Which One for MMO Work

Buying a good account is half the job. The other half is where it logs in from. Facebook, TikTok and Google all read the IP to guess who you are; an account registered in the US that logs in from a European datacenter IP is suspect at once. A proxy gives each account a "home" that fits it.
The three main kinds
Residential proxies
IPs from home internet connections, issued by ISPs to households. To a platform this is an ordinary person at home. The best fit for logging in to and warming social and email accounts.
Mobile / 4G proxies
IPs from mobile networks (Viettel, Vina, Mobi in Vietnam, or T-Mobile in the US). Thousands of phones share one mobile IP, so platforms are reluctant to block them. The most trusted kind for TikTok and Facebook. The IP usually rotates on a cycle.
Datacenter proxies
IPs of servers in data centres. Fast and cheap, but easy to recognise as not a person. Good for scraping, tools and site checks; poor for logging in to accounts.
Compared
| Residential | 4G / mobile | Datacenter | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trust with platforms | High | Very high | Low |
| Speed | Fair | Fair, depends on signal | Fast |
| Price | Medium | High | Low |
| Suits | Facebook, Gmail, warming accounts | TikTok, Facebook, important accounts | Tools, scraping |
What about a VPN?
A VPN such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN is for your own private browsing or region-locked content. VPN IPs are shared by very many people and platforms know those ranges well, so a VPN does not replace a proxy when you run several accounts.
Rules for using proxies
- One account, one proxy at a time. Many accounts on one IP is the clearest sign of bulk accounts.
- The account's country. A Vietnamese TikTok account goes with a Vietnamese proxy, a US-registered Gmail with a US one.
- Keep it stable. For important accounts, do not keep switching IPs between countries.
- Attach it to the browser profile. In an antidetect browser, paste the host, port, username and password from the order page into each profile.
Proxies by the day, week and month and VPN subscriptions are in the Proxy listing. The period counts from delivery.
