Use case

Puppeteer proxies for browser automation

Give Puppeteer a dedicated European 4G modem — one IP, one account, no shared pool.

Puppeteer drives a real Chrome browser. Point it at a dedicated mobile proxy and every request leaves from one European 4G address that only your account uses, which is what you want for repeatable browser automation instead of a rotating pool.

Connect through your dedicated line

Replace HOST, PORT, USERNAME, and PASSWORD with the values from your dashboard. Use HTTP for the browser, or SOCKS5 when a tool asks for a socket.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    args: ['--proxy-server=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT'],
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com', { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' });
  console.log(await page.title());

  await browser.close();
})();

Why a dedicated line

A real mobile IP, not a datacenter range

Puppeteer exits on a European 4G modem. Sites see a mobile address from the carrier, not a flagged datacenter subnet.

One modem, one account

Nobody else shares your line. Sessions stay stable, and the address changes only when you ask for a new one.

HTTP and SOCKS5, one login

Point Chrome at the HTTP endpoint, or use SOCKS5 when a tool asks for a socket. Same host, ports, and password.

Unlimited data for the rental

Pay for a day, a week, or a month. There is no per-gigabyte meter to watch while a crawl runs.

Questions

How do I use a proxy with Puppeteer?

Pass it to launch with the --proxy-server flag: --proxy-server=http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT. That routes every request Chrome makes through your dedicated modem.

Should I use HTTP or SOCKS5?

Use HTTP for Chrome and headless runs. SOCKS5 is there when a library or app asks for a socket. Both use the same login.

Does the IP rotate?

No. It stays on your modem until you request a new one from the dashboard. Nothing rotates on a timer mid-run.

Can I run this from a server?

Yes. The proxy is a normal HTTP and SOCKS5 endpoint, so it works from CI, a VPS, or your laptop. Keep the credentials out of source control.
