Mobile proxies use real mobile IPs from devices on cellular networks worldwide. These IPs are distributed by ISPs to mobile devices, where real users opt-in to share their connection.

## Limitations

Highly specific geotargeting may not have available IP addresses. Try creating a mobile proxy configuration to see if a specific geotargeting combination is available. Use less specific geotargeting where not available, or use residential proxies which are the most flexible option.
Mobile proxies have limited availabilty, especially when more specific configuration options are provided. Sometimes, no mobile proxies are available in any region. Proxy availablity is tested when creating a proxy, and when associating a browser to a proxy. Use residential proxies for better availability, and prefer to use mobile only where it's required and limited availability can be tolerated.

A 502 error is returned when no proxies are available.
