Datacenter proxies use IP addresses assigned from datacenter servers to route your traffic and access locations around the world. With a shorter journey and simplified architecture, datacenter proxies are both the fastest and most cost-effective proxy option. They're best for accessing websites without sophisticated blocking methods.

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. Mobile proxies let you connect through 3G/4G mobile connections in every country and city, accessing the internet as a real mobile user would, with complete ASN, carrier, and mobile network targeting capabilities.

## 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.
