Play Poland mobile proxy
A Play Poland proxy exits through a real Play SIM card, so websites see a Polish mobile IP from P4, the operator company behind the Play brand. This page covers how Play proxies are built, how to choose Play in the configurator, how rotation and CGNAT work on Play, and when Play fits your setup.
A Play Poland mobile proxy is a dedicated proxy that exits through a real P4 SIM card in a 4G/5G modem or Android phone in Warsaw. Sites see a Play mobile IP from AS39603. You pick Play in the configurator, change the IP once per minute, and connect over HTTP, SOCKS5, OpenVPN or VLESS/Xray.
What you get on Play
Every Play proxy is backed by one physical device: a dedicated 4G/5G modem or a real Android phone with a real P4 SIM card. The device sits in our Warsaw rack and is connected to the Play mobile network, so the public IP your traffic leaves from belongs to P4, not to a hosting company or a residential proxy pool.
The proxy is yours for the whole plan; no other customer shares the device. You connect over HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, OpenVPN or VLESS/Xray, with unlimited bandwidth on paid plans and a typical 30-100 Mb/s on Polish 4G/5G networks (it depends on signal and load and is not guaranteed).
How to choose Play in the configurator
Carrier choice is a separate step in the pricing configurator, and next to each carrier it shows how many devices are free right now, so you know before checkout whether Play has enough.
If Play is sold out, the configurator says so and asks you to pick another carrier; the quantity is capped at what the selected carrier can still supply. On phones, the Auto option picks the carrier with the most free devices, so tap Play directly if you want it.
The configurator uses the brand name, Play, while IP lookups show the company, P4, and AS39603 for the same proxy. If you keep a record of which accounts run on which carrier, note both names so the configurator choice matches what your logs show.
Live Play availability
The network status table on our homepage shows live free devices per carrier, split into modems and Android phones. It uses the same data as the configurator, so the Play row matches what you can order.
Check it before a larger order. If the Play row shows only a few free devices, split the order between Play and another carrier instead of waiting.
Rotating Play proxy: how the IP changes
You can change the IP once per minute: manually in the dashboard, with an API call, or automatically on a schedule you set. A rotation makes the Play device drop its mobile data session and reconnect, and P4 assigns a fresh public IP from its pool.
Rotation keeps you on Play. The SIM card does not change, so the new IP is still a Play mobile address in Poland. If you want a different carrier, use operator switching (below) instead of rotation.
For a sticky session, do not rotate: the device keeps its Play IP until you rotate or the carrier reassigns the session. Rotation by API:
POST https://proxypoland.com/api/v1/proxies/{id}/rotate
Authorization: Bearer <your API key>CGNAT on the Play network
Like the other Polish mobile operators, P4 uses carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT): many subscribers on the Play network share public IPv4 addresses. The address your proxy gets comes from the same pools that ordinary Play phone users browse from.
That is why mobile IPs are hard to block outright: banning a Play CGNAT address can also block real Play customers, so anti-fraud systems treat mobile ranges more cautiously than datacenter ranges. Account behaviour, browser fingerprint and request rate still matter.
IP lookup tools usually show a Play address under the company name P4 and the ASN AS39603, not under "Play". If you filter or report by network owner, match on P4 or AS39603. Our What is my IP tool shows the owner and ASN for the address your proxy uses.
Example workflow: scheduled scraping on Play
For scraping Polish sites, a Play proxy with an automatic rotation schedule is a simple setup: set the interval in the dashboard (no faster than once per minute), point your scraper at the proxy, and each rotation gives it a new Play mobile IP without any code changes.
If you need more parallel IPs, add proxies rather than rotating faster. Mixing Play with Orange, T-Mobile or Plus adds more ASNs to your pool, which helps when a target rate-limits per network range.
Switching from Play to another carrier
You are not locked in. From the dashboard you can move a proxy to another carrier's device. Same proxy, same remaining time; if the new device is on another server, you get new connection details in the dashboard and API. The free trial includes one operator switch.
Handy for comparing carriers or spreading accounts:
FAQ
Yes. Traffic exits through a real P4 SIM card in a dedicated modem or Android phone on the Play mobile network. IP lookups show a P4 mobile address in Poland (AS39603), not a datacenter or hosting range.
Once per minute, from the dashboard, through the API, or on an automatic schedule you set. Each rotation gives you a new Play IP; the carrier stays the same.
Yes, as long as Play has free devices. The configurator shows the free count for each carrier and caps the quantity at what Play can still supply. If you need more, split the order between carriers.
P4 is the operator company behind the Play brand, and its mobile ranges are registered under AS39603. Seeing P4 confirms the proxy is on the Play network.
Yes. Set an automatic rotation schedule in the dashboard, or call POST /api/v1/proxies/{id}/rotate with your API key from your own scheduler. Either way the minimum interval is one minute.
Yes. The free trial gives you one proxy for one hour with no card. It includes one free operator switch, so you can move the trial proxy to Play if a Play device is free.
