Onimator

Route Onimator devices and emulators through mobile lines, one line per device group.

Onimator drives real Android phones, emulators and cloud phones. Its own guidance favours consistency over heavy rotation; a Full Access line per device group gives a stable exit with an on-demand change when a group switches.

HTTP proxy URL

http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT

Protocol. HTTP or SOCKS5 as the device's proxy type, matching the port on the line's page. Onimator can assign proxies per device through its API as well.

Setup steps

Onimator, step by step

  1. 1Add the line as a proxy in Onimator with host, port, username and password.
  2. 2Assign the proxy to the device or emulator, or to each device in the group that belongs on this line.
  3. 3Set the device's timezone, language and location to the line's country.
  4. 4Start the device, open its browser and run the verification checks below.
  5. 5Sign the accounts in only after the checks pass.

Rotation link

Changing the IP on purpose

Where Onimator lets you store a rotation URL per proxy, paste the rotation link there and keep its schedule sparse. Otherwise call the link from your own schedule, at least 5 minutes apart, and confirm on the status link before the next task. Do not rotate too frequently; it does more harm than good.

curl -s ROTATION_LINK
# then poll until the exit IP has settled
curl -s STATUS_LINK

The rotation and status links are on the line's page in the portal and in the API documentation. The daily allowance of customer-driven changes is in the fair-use policy.

DNS, timezone and leaks

Keep the fingerprint on the line

  • IncludedDevice timezone, language and location must match the line's country.
  • IncludedOne device group per line; spread tasks across the day.
  • IncludedDo not rotate the IP too frequently; it does more harm than good.

Accounts per line

How many accounts on one line

Devices on maintenance can share a line as a group; growth devices get their own.

Verification checklist

Before the first account

  • IncludedThe device's browser shows a mobile-carrier network in the line's country.
  • IncludedThe device clock and timezone match that country.
  • IncludedThe first task on each device completes without a location challenge.

What each check proves is on the verification page.

Pitfalls

What goes wrong

  • Assigning the proxy after the app is signed in moves the session between networks.
  • Heavy rotation on a device farm is the pattern platforms flag first; the tool's own guide says so.
  • The rotation link is not a proxy address.

Questions

Onimator and mobile lines

All setup pages

Both exit the same way. A real device adds a real hardware fingerprint; an emulator needs more care on the device side. The line is the same for either.
