Connect your data collection pipeline to dedicated 4G/5G devices when the project needs mobile-network egress, controlled sessions or proxy traffic without a per-GB allowance.
Do I need a proxy for every web scraping project?
No. Many public targets can be collected without a proxy or with simpler infrastructure. A proxy becomes useful when the project needs another network path, independent sessions, a specific location or a different network architecture.
What is a mobile proxy for web scraping?
It routes the connection of your crawler or HTTP client through a mobile network. With NafeProxys, that path runs through a physical 4G/5G device and SIM.
When does mobile make more sense than residential or datacenter?
When the project specifically needs mobile-network egress, dedicated physical hardware, controlled sessions or proxy traffic without per-GB billing. If broad IP diversity or inexpensive throughput is the priority, another architecture may fit better.
Should I use a sticky session or rotate the IP?
Keep the session when related requests need to continue through the same connection. Rotate when you start another job, batch or network session. Changing more often does not automatically improve collection.
Can I use NafeProxys with Scrapy, Playwright and Selenium?
Yes, as long as the environment supports one of the available protocols and authentication methods. The exact configuration depends on the tool.
What does unlimited bandwidth mean for scraping?
You do not receive a proxy allowance billed by gigabyte. This makes proxy cost more predictable when the pipeline transfers large pages, images, files or runs frequent collection jobs.
Does a mobile proxy eliminate CAPTCHAs or anti-bot systems?
No. Websites can evaluate many signals beyond the IP address. NafeProxys provides the mobile connection and session controls, not a guarantee of bypassing access mechanisms.
Does a dedicated device mean I receive an exclusive public IPv4?
Not necessarily. Mobile networks can use CGNAT, so the public IP may be shared within the network infrastructure even when the physical device is dedicated to the service.
