Proxy for Rival Regions: a beginner's guide
Rival Regions is played in a browser or app, so a proxy is simple to set up, but it can't make extra accounts acceptable. Common setup slips, explained simply.
Start here
Rival Regions basics: phone settings, shared homes and the one-account habit
Rival Regions is a strategy game about politics and war that runs in a browser and as a phone app, and in plain English a proxy just sends your connection through another address first. You don't need one to play. The habit worth learning on day one is one account per person, because elections and wars only mean something when every player is real.
Where the setting lives on a phone
On Android and iPhone, a manual proxy is set per Wi-Fi network: open that network's details, find the proxy option, then enter the address and port. It applies only on that network, so mobile data stays direct.
Sharing a home with other players
If a brother or flatmate plays too, you'll share an internet address, which is normal. Play independently, and never use proxies to make two accounts look unrelated; read the game's rules on multiple accounts if you're unsure what's allowed.
What a proxy won't do
It won't give you extra votes, more oil or a faster route into parliament. Resources come from playing, and anything that creates a second account for you breaks the one-person idea, whatever address it connects from.
Picking a type, if you want one
For reading the web version from another country, datacenter, an address belonging to a server company, is the low-cost option. Mobile 4G/5G proxies cost more per GB and only make sense if you specifically need a phone-network address.
Quick start in three steps
Nothing to install. This is the whole route, from paying to the first page you load through the proxy.
Buy a small Datacenter plan
On the order form, pick a country, a protocol and a login method, then pay. At $2.49 per GB (gigabyte of data) it costs less than our other types, so a first test is cheap.
Add it to one browser
Use the proxy in one browser for the game's website, forums or shop. The game and its launcher can keep their normal connection, which is usually quicker.
Check that it worked
With the proxy switched on, open our IP checker: it should show the proxy's address, not your own. The IP location lookup then tells you which country that address is in, and if anything looks wrong, the quick fixes further down cover the usual slips. Address right, but one site still turns you away? The last of the fixes below covers that.
Our pick for Rival Regions: Datacenter
Rival Regions is a strategy game played in a browser or app, and all it needs is for pages to load reliably. That's a job for datacenter: an address that belongs to a server company rather than a household, priced below our other three types. A home address would cost more and change nothing.
Responsive browser sessions
Every click in Rival Regions is a small page request, so the game feels slow when pages are slow. A proxy adds a stop, so place it close to you, keep the session sticky, and compare a few clicks with it on and off.
A sticky address for consistency
Sticky means your proxy keeps its address for a period rather than handing you a new one with each click. Wars and elections play out over long stretches, so a steady address helps keep your logged-in session from being interrupted halfway through an action.
Geo-targeted access
Geo-targeting is simply choosing your proxy's country. The game is the same everywhere, so pick a country near you for speed. If a network you're on blocks the game, ask whoever runs it rather than working against their rules.
Standard formats, immediate setup
Your proxy arrives in the dashboard as an IP, port, username and password. Browsers need all four. Phones take the IP and port in their Wi-Fi settings, plus an IP whitelist entry when there's no password box.
What a proxy won't do here
It won't lower your ping, the delay between you and the game server. And it won't make bots, extra accounts or account sharing acceptable to a game that forbids them.
What people use it for
- ▸Playing your one account privately on shared Wi-Fi
- ▸A steady address while you vote, trade or fight
- ▸Keeping your home IP out of view online
- ▸Low-cost first steps with proxies
Which proxy type should I pick for Rival Regions?
The usual rule is to start with the type that costs least and step up only when a site says no. Here, datacenter is enough to begin with.
| Type | Choose it when… | From, per GB |
|---|---|---|
| Datacenter Our pick for Rival Regions | Cost matters most and the site is happy with addresses from server companies. Good for public pages and first experiments. | $2.49 |
| Residential | A site turns server addresses away, or you want to see it the way a local visitor does. The address belongs to a home broadband line. | $3.98 |
| Mobile 4G/5G | The service is built around phones, or you want to see it as someone on 4G or 5G would. The address comes from a phone network. | $4.98 |
| Residential Premium | Standard residential keeps being refused on one particular site. Hand-picked home addresses, at a higher price per GB. | $6.99 |
Choosing a country: Pick one near you, or near the game's servers if you know where they are. A longer route adds delay. There are 55+ countries, and in major markets some types let you pick a city too. Browse locations
For the longer version, our proxy comparison walks through all four types.
What you need for game websites and shops
Wherever you set it up, you type in the same four details from your dashboard: the host (the proxy's address), the port (a number that tells the connection which door to use), a username and a password.
In one browser
Firefox has its own proxy settings, so only Firefox uses the proxy. On Windows and Mac, Chrome and Edge follow the computer's settings instead.
Setting it up somewhere else? Step-by-step guides:
Two ways to log in to the proxy
- ▸Username and password. The
host:port:user:passdetails that browsers, apps and scripts ask for. - ▸IP whitelist. Add your own IP address to the list in your dashboard and connections from it need no password. Handy where there's nowhere to type one, such as Android's Wi-Fi proxy screen.
Which protocol?
A protocol is the language your device uses to talk to the proxy. Every proxy works over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5; if an app asks for SOCKS5 by name, give it SOCKS5 details, and put HTTP details in an HTTP box.
Common slip-ups, and the quick fix for each
When something feels off on a first try, it's often one of these.
Logging in on a rotating address
Rotating means a new address for every request; sticky means one address kept for 1-30 minutes. Use sticky for anything you sign in to, or the site may log you out halfway through.
A slip in the proxy details
One wrong character in the host, port, username or password and nothing connects. Copy them again from your dashboard and try them in our proxy checker. Using the IP whitelist? Home IP addresses change now and then, so check yours with the IP checker and update the list.
Expecting smoother matches
A proxy adds a stop on the way to the game server, so play rarely gets any smoother through one. If a match lags, switch the proxy off before trying anything else.
A site keeps refusing the address
Some sites turn away addresses from server companies however gently you go. Retrying won't change that, so move just that site to residential.
Proxy not working when it arrives? Tell us within 24 hours of delivery and we'll swap it, or refund that part of the order if we can't (see the refund policy). Support answers 24/7 through the contact page.
Is a proxy for Rival Regions allowed?
Using a proxy is legal in most countries (a few restrict them), so the question is what you do through it: stick to public information and your own accounts, at a sensible pace, within the service's terms and the law where you live.
Games set their own rules, and many forbid bots, account sharing or selling in-game items for real money. A proxy changes your address, not those rules or what happens to an account that breaks them.
If personal data is involved, data-protection law applies as well, and no proxy can protect an account from a platform's own decisions.
Keeping the cost down
You pay for data by the GB, never for time, so set the proxy in the one browser or app that needs it and switch it off when you're done.
Start with a small order
Buy a little Datacenter data first, at $2.49 per GB, and try it where you need it. Top up once it works.
Use it within 30 days
Each order runs for 30 days from payment, and GB you haven't used don't carry over, so buy for the weeks ahead rather than the year.
Match the type to the site
Leave easy sites on datacenter and send only the stubborn ones through residential, mobile or premium. Mixing types keeps the bill small.
