The Proxies tab lets you register the proxy endpoints your devices will route traffic through. Every device runs behind a proxy, so you need at least one configured before you can spin up a device.
Setting up a proxy is mandatory before creating a device. Devices cannot be provisioned without an attached proxy.

​
Choosing a Proxy Type

Different automations need different levels of stealth. Pick the proxy type that matches your use case:
When in doubt, start with Static ISP and only upgrade to Residential or Mobile if you hit detection or blocking issues.

​
Protocol Requirement

Mobilerun only supports the SOCKS5 protocol. Make sure the proxy you purchase from your provider is offered as SOCKS5 before adding it.

​
Creating a Proxy

Open the Proxies tab in the dashboard and click new Proxy to register a new endpoint. Fill in the form with the credentials you received from your proxy provider.
Create proxy form in the Mobilerun dashboard
Once saved, the proxy becomes selectable when creating a new device.

​
Smart IP

Smart IP is enabled by default on every proxy. When active, Mobilerun automatically aligns the device’s environment with the target country of your proxy so the device looks consistent with its outbound IP. Smart IP configures parameters such as:
  • Geolocation — GPS coordinates matched to the proxy’s country
  • System time — Timezone aligned with the proxy’s region
  • System language — Default locale set to the country’s primary language
This drastically reduces fingerprint mismatches that flag automated devices. You can disable Smart IP per proxy if you need to keep the device’s local settings untouched.
