Residential Proxies for Hotstar

QuanticData residential proxies work with the Hotstar app on Android and iPhone: the phone's traffic leaves through the proxy and Hotstar sees the home IP, with country and session set in the username exactly as on a desktop. On iPhone the proxy is set per Wi-Fi network (HTTP with username and password) or in a client such as Shadowrocket for SOCKS5; on Android the Wi-Fi proxy setting has no password field, so use IP whitelist authentication or a proxy client app. Some apps ignore the system proxy and only work through a client app that tunnels the whole device.

QuanticData recommends a sticky session for Hotstar. One sticky session per QA account for the length of a match or check; rotating for logged-out pages. Sessions are set in the username (a session ID and a lifetime, up to 120 minutes on Basic, up to 24 hours on Premium), so no proxy list is needed.

QuanticData customers in ad verification do it with an Indian mobile exit on the carrier the campaign targets, a QA account on a sticky session for the match, and a log of the ad breaks they are served. It is verification through the same network Indian viewers use; the account and Hotstar's terms are the customer's.

QuanticData gives you host, port, username and password the moment a plan is active: create a free account, open Plans → Residential, pick a bundle ($1.00/GB to start) and copy the credentials from the dashboard. Set the proxy on the device or emulator running the app (SOCKS5) with an Indian exit and, for carrier-specific checks, the carrier in the username; use a browser profile for web checks. For Hotstar, the countries asked for most are India, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

QuanticData residential proxies are standard HTTP and SOCKS5 endpoints with a host, a port, a username and a password, so any client that accepts a proxy node works, OpenClash included: enter those four values as an http or socks5 node in OpenClash on the router, or in Clash on Android and desktop, and Hotstar traffic from every device the rules send to that node leaves through the exit set in the username. For Hotstar give each account its own sticky session — a session ID and a lifetime in the username — so the traffic keeps one IP for the whole login. Host and port are in your dashboard; the HTTP and the SOCKS5 port are different, so pick the one that matches the node type.

QuanticData does not give away residential proxies for Hotstar: what is free is the trial — 100 MB on Residential Basic for 5 days, no card — enough to run a small Hotstar test before the $5 starter. Public "free proxy" lists are shared addresses on ranges the service already lists, which is why they are refused outright; they also change daily, so nothing built on them keeps working for long.

QuanticData's answer for Hotstar is residential for most jobs, the network this page is about: the work is verifying catalogs, prices and availability per country, and home-ISP addresses in 200+ countries with state and city targeting cost from $1.00/GB. Mobile is worth its higher price only when a Hotstar account or app expects a phone; the mobile page for Hotstar covers that case.
