Proxy Not Connecting
If your mobile proxy isn't connecting, verify your credentials and check if your application supports SOCKS5 or HTTP protocols.
See detailed connection guide →Slow Connection Speeds
Bulgarian mobile proxies provide up to 1Gbps on 5G networks. Slow speeds may indicate server location mismatch or ISP throttling.
Optimize connection speed →IP Rotation Not Working
Ensure you're using our API endpoints for IP rotation or manually trigger rotations from your dashboard every 15 minutes.

How do I configure my mobile proxy?
After purchase, you'll receive proxy credentials within 5 minutes. Configure your application with the provided IP address, port number, username, and password. ProxyLegion supports both HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols for maximum compatibility.
For HTTP/HTTPS: Use port 8080 with your credentials. For SOCKS5: Use port 1080 for enhanced security and protocol support. Most applications automatically detect the protocol type.
Server: your-proxy-ip
Port: 8080 (HTTP) or 1080 (SOCKS5)
Username: your-username
Password: your-password
Why is my mobile proxy connection failing?
Connection failures typically occur due to incorrect credentials, application misconfiguration, or network restrictions. First, verify your credentials match exactly what was provided in your welcome email, including case sensitivity.
Common solutions include: checking your application's proxy settings, ensuring your firewall allows proxy connections, testing with a different application like curl or Postman, and verifying you're using the correct protocol (HTTP vs SOCKS5).
If issues persist, try rotating your IP address from the dashboard, as some target websites may have temporarily blacklisted your current IP. Our Bulgarian mobile IPs typically have 99.9% uptime.
How often can I rotate my IP address?
ProxyLegion allows IP rotation every 10 minutes to maintain optimal performance and prevent abuse. You can trigger rotations manually through your dashboard or programmatically via our API endpoints.
Automatic rotation can be configured for scheduled intervals. Bulgarian mobile networks provide dynamic IP pools with thousands of available addresses, ensuring you rarely see repeated IPs during normal usage.
Enterprise customers can request custom rotation schedules and dedicated IP pools for high-volume operations requiring more frequent rotations.
What's the difference between HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols?
HTTP proxies work specifically with web traffic (HTTP/HTTPS) and are ideal for web scraping, browser automation, and API calls. They offer faster speeds and better compatibility with web-based applications.
SOCKS5 proxies handle all types of traffic (TCP/UDP) including email, FTP, and peer-to-peer applications. They provide enhanced security, support authentication, and work with any application that supports SOCKS5.
Choose HTTP for web-specific tasks and maximum speed. Choose SOCKS5 for versatility, security, and non-web applications. ProxyLegion provides both protocols on all Bulgarian mobile proxies.
Why choose Bulgarian mobile proxies?
Bulgaria offers exceptional mobile infrastructure with advanced 4G/5G networks, providing high-speed connectivity and reliable uptime. Bulgarian IPs are less commonly used for automation, resulting in lower detection rates and higher success rates.
European mobile proxies benefit from GDPR compliance, strict privacy regulations, and advanced telecommunications infrastructure. Bulgarian mobile carriers use sophisticated IP rotation systems that naturally provide anonymity.
Cost advantages include lower operational expenses compared to Western European countries, while maintaining premium network quality and regulatory compliance standards.
How do I optimize proxy performance for my use case?
Performance optimization depends on your specific application. For web scraping, use HTTP proxies with connection pooling and implement proper retry logic with exponential backoff. Rotate IPs proactively rather than reactively.
For social media management, use SOCKS5 with dedicated IP assignments per account. Implement realistic usage patterns matching human behavior, including variable timing and organic interaction patterns.
Monitor your success rates and adjust rotation frequency based on target website behavior. Our support team can provide custom optimization recommendations for enterprise applications.
Setup Tutorials & Guides
Python Requests Configuration
Configure ProxyLegion mobile proxies with Python's requests library for web scraping and API automation:
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://username:password@proxy-ip:8080',
'https': 'http://username:password@proxy-ip:8080'
}
response = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org',
proxies=proxies,
timeout=30)
print(f"Your IP: {response.text}")Always implement proper error handling and retry logic for production applications. Monitor response times and success rates to optimize performance.
Selenium WebDriver Setup
Configure Selenium with ProxyLegion mobile proxies for automated browser testing and social media management:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy
proxy = Proxy()
proxy.http_proxy = "username:password@proxy-ip:8080"
proxy.ssl_proxy = "username:password@proxy-ip:8080"
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
proxy.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities)
driver.get("https://api.ipify.org")
print(driver.page_source)Use headless browsing for better performance and implement random delays between actions to mimic human behavior patterns.
Node.js Integration
Integrate ProxyLegion mobile proxies with Node.js applications using popular HTTP clients:
const axios = require('axios');
const HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent');
const proxyUrl = 'http://username:password@proxy-ip:8080';
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxyUrl);
axios.get('https://api.ipify.org', {
httpsAgent: agent,
timeout: 30000
}).then(response => {
console.log('Your IP:', response.data);
}).catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error.message);
});Implement connection pooling and reuse agents for better performance in high-volume applications.
cURL Command Examples
Test your ProxyLegion mobile proxy configuration using cURL commands for quick validation:
# HTTP Proxy Test
curl -x username:password@proxy-ip:8080 \
http://api.ipify.org
# SOCKS5 Proxy Test
curl --socks5 username:password@proxy-ip:1080 \
https://api.ipify.org
# Headers and User Agent
curl -x username:password@proxy-ip:8080 \
-H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0..." \
-H "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml" \
https://example.comUse cURL for initial testing and debugging proxy configurations before implementing in your production applications.
Performance Optimization Tips
Connection Management Best Practices
Optimize your proxy connections by implementing connection pooling, which reuses established connections rather than creating new ones for each request. This significantly reduces latency and improves throughput for high-volume operations.
- Implement connection pooling with maximum 100 concurrent connections per proxy
- Use keep-alive headers to maintain persistent connections when possible
- Configure appropriate timeout values: 30 seconds for connection, 60 seconds for read
- Implement exponential backoff retry logic with maximum 3 attempts per request
- Monitor connection success rates and automatically rotate problematic IPs
IP Rotation Strategies
Strategic IP rotation prevents detection and maintains high success rates. Bulgarian mobile networks provide extensive IP pools, but proper rotation timing is crucial for optimal performance.
- Rotate IPs every 10-15 minutes for social media management applications
- Use session-based rotation for e-commerce price monitoring to maintain cart sessions
- Implement geographic rotation for location-specific data collection requirements
- Monitor target website behavior to optimize rotation frequency dynamically
- Maintain IP rotation logs for troubleshooting and performance analysis
Error Handling and Monitoring
Robust error handling and comprehensive monitoring ensure reliable operation and quick issue resolution. Implement logging and alerting systems for proactive problem management.
- Log all proxy requests with response codes, timing, and IP addresses used
- Set up alerts for success rates dropping below 95% or response times exceeding 10 seconds
- Implement automatic failover to backup proxies when primary connections fail
- Monitor data usage and implement rate limiting to prevent unexpected costs
- Create dashboards for real-time visibility into proxy performance metrics
