Knowing when to not use proxies is as important as knowing when to use them. There are certain circumstances that require the use of dedicated private proxies, such as gaming proxies. In this article, we are going to discuss when somebody needs to use gaming proxies.
While their use is not very spread and not many people know about their existence, those aware of these proxies must master their use in order to rip the benefits from these, rather expensive, proxies.
WHAT ARE GAMING PROXIES
While the name might sound technical, these proxies are nothing more, nothing less than private proxies never used for gaming websites. They are virgin gaming proxies. Thus, a buyer will always have the assurance that their proxies have never been used to connect to gaming websites or platforms.
Therefore, they can confidently use these proxies to connect, create and develop accounts on any gaming website or platform available today.
Another feature of gaming proxies is their IP’s geographical location. Most of these [gaming] proxies have IPs located in major US and Canadian urban areas.
4 WAYS TO USE GAMING PROXIES
Private proxies, subsequently gaming proxies, can be used in various ways. The only limit of proxy use is the buyer’s imagination. However, we are going to show three ways in which gaming proxies are used on a regular basis. The reason for using these proxies varies from one user to another, but usually, there is one constant. Gaming proxies are used to scale operations or geo-spoof the location of the gamer.
1. BYPASSING RESTRICTION BY LOCAL ISP / ORGANIZATIONS
Some gaming websites or platforms are restricted in same areas or in some organizations. For example, some colleges have restricted and banned some gaming platforms on their campuses.
A college student connecting from the campus’ IPs will not be able to reach the servers of his favorite games. While some will consider a VPN for bypassing the restriction, a gaming proxy is more desirable for one simple reason, the proxy’s speed. The VPN, with its extra layer of encryption, slows the Internet connection and data transfer, thus damaging the gaming experience. On the other hand, a gaming proxy, without extra layers will simply direct the gamer’s traffic. Thus, the gaming experience will not be altered.
2. PLAYING LOCATION DEPENDENT GAMES – POKEMON GO
While Pokemon Go is a great game, not many people manage to participate in the craze and hunt the rare Pokemon. If a user lives in a remote location, he will not be able to amass an impressive collection of Pokemon, thus, he will need to find ways to play the game differently.
One such way is to use gaming proxies for Pokemon GO. These are gaming proxies with IPs located in major US urban areas. Thus, anybody will stand a chance of catching that rare Pokemon.
3. USING GAMING PROXIES TO DEVELOP POKEMON GO ACCOUNTS
One great characteristic of gaming proxies is the scalability they offer to users. Simply put, by using several gaming proxies an user can spoof its location and appear in multiple cities/areas at the same time.
A great and profitable use of gaming proxies is the creation and development of Pokemon GO accounts for later commercialization.
Basically, a user will set their proxies on a server and automate several Pokemon GO accounts at the same time. And once these accounts are ‘ripe’, they can sell them on account marketplaces.
While an account costs between $10 to $20, the profit comes from this operation’s scalability. Because with the help of proxies, a gamer can set and develop several accounts on the same server / PC. Thus, cutting costs down and minimizing the fix costs with any extra account developed.
Gamers using proxies to develop and sell accounts must consider that each account will need to use a different proxy, especially if he intends to sell the accounts. Moreover, upon selling the accounts, the seller must mention the proxy location and connectivity setup to the buyer.
TO WRAP UP
There are several ways in which a buyer can use gaming proxies. Three of the most common ones have been described above.
The first two ways of using gaming proxies involve geo-spoofing the gaming server of the ISP. Thus, using these proxies as tools in one’s setup.
While the third way of using gaming proxies implies using the proxy as a way to develop and sell gaming accounts. Thus, the proxies become a setup requirement that can be considered a variable cost for the gamer.
